Travel is slowly becoming a reality again now that the CDC has updated its guidelines to say that fully vaccinated people can travel with low risk of catching and spreading COVID-19. This means that, if you feel comfortable cramming into an airplane again, you may be able to profit from Southwest’s scheduled flight sales again. The economy carrier just launched a big Tuesday.
From now until April 8 at 11:59 p.m., Southwest is offering a nationwide sales with discounted one-way flights to destinations across the country. You can get inexpensive fares – to major cities like Nashville, Kansas City, Charlotte, and New Orleans – to travel between April 20 and June 30, 2021. However, May 27, May 28, and May 31, 2021 are all blacked out, so a super-cheap Memorial Day trip is out of the question.
Of course, you’ll want to review some COVID-19 safety protocols before you catch your next flight. The southwest has information on local notices and restrictions, as well as his own promise to keep customers safe with routine sanitation, mask policies and precautionary advice.

Remember to check the fine print of the sale before booking. You’ll want to keep these blackout dates in mind, as well as Southwest’s cancellation and refund policy.
“Fares are non-refundable but may be applied to future travel on Southwest Airlines, provided that reservations are canceled at least ten minutes prior to scheduled departure,” Southwest wrote on its sales page. “If you do not cancel before departure, the remaining funds from the reservation will be forfeited. ”
