Save up to $500 on a Southwest Vacations Booking

Southwest Vacations provides holiday packages to destinations in the U.S., Canada, Central America, the Caribbean, and South America. Right now, a new promotion can save you up to $500 on your next trip, though the amount you’ll save depends on the cost of your booking.

Here’s what you need to know if you want to save money with this deal.

New Southwest Vacation Deal

In late 2024, we saw Southwest Vacations deals that offered specific deals to different regions, each with its own discounts, booking dates, and travel dates. Luckily, the first offer of 2025 is a bit simpler. Southwest is offering up to $500 off your next trip, depending on the cost of your vacation package and where you’re headed.

You can save up to $500 when traveling to Hawaii, Mexico, and the Caribbean using promo code INT500:

• $300 off packages costing between $500 and $999
• $400 off packages costing between $1,000 and $1,499
• $500 off packages costing $1,500 or more

For trips within the continental U.S., you can save up to $250 using the promo code DOM250:

• $150 off packages costing between $500 and $999
• $200 off packages costing between $1,000 and $1,499
• $250 off packages costing $1,500 or more

However, you need to book your trip by February 10, 2025, at 6 p.m. CT to snag this deal. Eligible travel dates are from January 8 to October 1, 2025. You must book your trip at least 24 hours before departure, which you can do here.

Is It Worth It?

If you can find a trip that costs exactly $1,500, saving $500 or $250 will provide a 33% or 16.67% discount, respectively. That’s a good discount. However, the rate of savings will decrease the more you spend on a package.

Moreover, booking a flight-plus-hotel package isn’t for everyone. Booking a hotel through a third-party provider — whether that’s Southwest Vacations, Hotels.com, or another website — can have drawbacks. Hotels typically won’t award you points or recognize your elite status on these reservations. Additionally, booking directly with the hotel can make things simpler if you need to change or cancel your reservation when something unexpected comes up.

Final Thoughts

Southwest Vacations provides recurring deals and promotions that can help you save on a flight and hotel travel package.

This current deal allows you to save $500 on a flight and hotel package to various destinations. To enjoy the savings, use a promo code at the time of booking, and the promo code is different for trips within the continental U.S. or further afield. You have until October 1, 2025, to travel, but you’ll need to secure your reservation by February 10 if you’re interested in this deal.
