itinerary after purchase will eliminate qualifications for this
promotion. The discount is only valid with the provided promotion
code and is not combinable with other promotion codes or fares. All
reward travel is subject to taxes, fees, and other government or

and other government or airport-imposed charges can vary
significantly based on your arrival and departure destination. The
payment of any taxes, fees, and other government or airport-imposed
charges is the responsibility of the Passenger and must be paid at
the time reward travel is booked with a credit card, travel fund,
or Southwest gift card.
The offer is not redeemable for cash, and may not be used in
conjunction with other special offers, or toward the purchase of a
gift card or previously-booked flight, or change to a
previously-booked flight. The discount is not valid on Group Travel
or Southwest Vacations®, fares booked via our Southwest
Partner Services API or through Global Distribution Systems, or
special fares, such as military and government fares.
