About Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines is America's largest domestic carrier by passengers boarded, serving over 137 million travelers annually. Founded in 1967 in Dallas, Texas, Southwest pioneered the low-cost carrier model and remains the only major US airline that doesn't charge bag fees or change fees.
Unlike every other major US airline, Southwest operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet, which simplifies maintenance and keeps costs low. Their point-to-point route network (rather than hub-and-spoke) means more direct flights and fewer connections for travelers.
The Southwest OTA problem: Because Southwest refuses to distribute fares through GDS systems (Global Distribution Systems), their flights are invisible on Google Flights, Kayak, Skyscanner, Expedia, and every other major flight search engine. This means millions of travelers unknowingly miss cheaper Southwest options when searching for flights. Camli solves this by helping you compare Southwest fares alongside consolidator deals on other airlines.
How to Save Money on Southwest Airlines
Use the Low Fare Calendar
Southwest's Low Fare Calendar shows the cheapest fares across an entire month. Be flexible by 1–2 days to save 30–50% on the same route.
Book on Tuesdays
Southwest typically releases fare sales on Tuesday afternoons. Set alerts and check between 3–5 PM CT for the newest discounted routes.
Compare Total Cost (Not Base Fare)
A $250 Southwest fare with 2 free bags often beats a $220 Delta fare that becomes $340+ after bag fees. Always compare total trip cost.
Use Wanna Get Away Plus for Flexibility
The 'Wanna Get Away Plus' fare tier adds transferable flight credits and same-day standby for just $10–$30 more than the base Wanna Get Away fare.
Stack Companion Pass Savings
Earn Southwest's Companion Pass (earn 135,000 points in a year) and a designated companion flies free on every flight for the rest of that year plus the next.
Check Camli for Better Deals on Other Airlines
Sometimes consolidator fares on Delta, United, or American beat Southwest — especially on international routes. Camli shows you all options side by side.
