Southwest Airlines trip planner
How does the Southwest Airlines trip planner work?
The Southwest Airlines trip planner in Award Travel Finder plans flights and hotels on points for a trip, including Southwest flights booked with Rapid Rewards Points. It keeps the searches, bookings and alerts for that trip together in one place and gives you a briefing before you fly. Southwest schedules open in blocks about 6 to 10 months out rather than on a rolling daily window, so keeping an alert inside the trip means a newly extended schedule is tied to the plan it belongs to.
