Fare Rules


Fares are available one-way and are combinable with all other fares. If combining with other fares, the most restrictive fare's rules apply. The fares are available for purchase through Jan. 16, 2005, and are valid for travel today through the end of Southwest's published schedule (currently June 6, 2005). Tickets must be purchased at least 14 days before departure. Seats are limited. Fares may not be available on some flights that operate during very busy travel times. Fares do not include a $3.10 federal segment tax per takeoff and landing (the segment tax will increase to $3.20 on Jan. 1, 2005). Fares do not include airport-assessed passenger facility charges (PFC) of up to $9 one-way and U.S. government-imposed September 11th Security Fees of up to $5 one-way. Fares are subject to change until ticketed. Tickets are nonrefundable but may be applied toward the purchase of future travel on Southwest Airlines. Fares are valid on published, scheduled service only and are not available through the Group Desk. Any change in itinerary may result in an increase in fare. Fares are not necessarily common rated in the Bay Area or the Los Angeles Basin. Orange County's John Wayne Airport is not included in this sale.
