A $69 Southwest headline is a sale pattern, not a coupon code. When the airline files those fares, they show up in search for the cities and travel window that qualify. Tuesday–Thursday departures are the usual sweet spot; holidays are not.
Fare types
Wanna Get Away is the restricted leisure brand. Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime and Business Select add flexibility. A sale fare is usually the most restricted — fine if dates are firm.
Cities
Chicago, Baltimore, Orlando, Denver, Phoenix and other Southwest strongholds appear often. The list changes with each sale. Search rather than memorizing last year’s map.
