Overview

• Getaways by Southwest bundles flights, hotels, car rentals and ground transportation for more than 30 leisure destinations including Las Vegas, Hawaii, Cancun, Orlando, Punta Cana and Montego Bay.
• Customers earn 5 Rapid Rewards points per dollar on package bookings, though points cannot yet be used to pay for packages and Southwest says redemptions are planned for a future update.
• Package bookings restore up to two free checked bags, a benefit limited to trips purchased through the Getaways platform and subject to standard size and weight limits.
• Travelers can cancel for a vacation credit valid for up to 18 months, while coverage differs on the no‑fee change window, with reports citing either up to 72 hours before the first flight or as close as 10 minutes prior.
• Southwest frames the launch as part of a broader strategy shift following recent seating and bag policy changes and new airline partnerships aimed at expanding its reach and non‑air revenue.
