It is usually preferable to book Southwest flights online. Although Southwest does not impose the so-called passenger usage fees that lower the cost of booking an airline ticket with airlines such as Spirit or Frontier, online booking provides access to Internet-only fares, offers to compare prices with ease through the Low Fare Calendar, and ensures more quick checkout.

Booking online is usually cheaper for Southwest flights. Prices are generally the same, but airport counters may add small service fees. Southwest doesn’t offer special counter discounts, and lowest fares are typically available on their website.
