Southwest Airlines is offering a limited-time 30% off sale to Hawaii and international destinations when you book by April 28, 2022. While the sale only runs for a limited time, you’re able to travel anytime this fall, making this a great sale for those that want to get away during the back half of the year.
The Sale
To book, you need to use the promotion code GOTROPICAL on Southwest’s website, and the discount is valid for up to 30% off travel from the continental U.S. to Hawaii, San Juan (Puerto Rico), and all international destinations. This includes Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central America.

- The sale is valid for one-way or round-trip travel. Obviously, to get the most out of this sale you’ll want to book a round-trip ticket.
- The discount is available on all fares, including Wanna Get Away, Anytime, and Business Select. Unfortunately, this sale is not valid when using Rapid Rewards points — it’s good for cash fares only.
- You need to book between April 26 and April 28, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. CST. Anything after this time won’t be available under the sale, so you’ll need to act quickly.
- You can travel between September 6, 2022, and November 4, 2022.
- The discount may vary depending on the flight, destination, and how busy flight loads are. For example, you may not find the discount available on days where there is an especially high load factor, as Southwest can otherwise sell these seats for full price.
- The promotion is only valid on the fare itself, and government taxes and fees are added in after.
- The discount is only valid for new flights, though if you have a flight already booked you may want to recheck the fare to see if it makes sense to cancel and then book again using the discount. Southwest allows free cancellations of tickets and the funds are immediately put back into your online Southwest wallet after cancellation.
- While Southwest normally is very flexible with ticket changes, if you make a change after the sale ends, you’ll lose the discount.
- To take advantage of the fare sale, you need to visit southwest.com. You won’t be able to book via a third party.

Final Thoughts
Hawaii and international destinations can be particularly expensive, though having a 30% discount is a great reason to book tickets. While this offer isn’t available over the busy summer period, with enough far-out planning, you can choose an escape this fall to make use of this significant sale.
