I usually try to book my Southwest flights a few months ahead, but last year I waited a bit too long for a holiday trip. I called 844-734-0813 to see if there were any options, and the agent helped me find a good deal by mixing travel dates and fare options. I learned that, generally, booking around 6–8 weeks in advance can land you the best prices, but flexibility really helps. Sometimes, even a few days’ shift can make a big difference in fare. I also realized calling directly can save time and headaches compared to endlessly refreshing the website—agents can instantly check for deals, upgrades, or changes. For anyone looking to save without the stress of constant monitoring, this approach really works.
