Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your award flights for travel to Hawaii from the U.S. mainland in early January, specifically from January 5 to January 15, to take advantage of lower availability and fewer travelers.
Sweet Spot
You can redeem 60,000 Southwest Rapid Rewards points for a round-trip flight from Los Angeles to New York City, which typically costs around $400 in cash.
Routing Trick
You can book a flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Cancun (CUN) via a stop in Denver (DEN), effectively allowing you to travel to Mexico for 60,000 miles instead of the typical 70,000 miles for a direct flight, saving you 10,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying Southwest Airlines for international routes, as they often impose high fees like a $75 international travel fee, which can significantly increase your overall travel costs.
