Sale fares are limited based on availability and applicable to nonstop travel (when available) or a single connecting service. The discount does not cover the $5.60 in taxes and fees that will be charged each way.
Sample flights
Because Southwest generally does not disclose its sale routes, the quickest way to take advantage of this deal is by using the carrier’s Low Fare Calendar to search for your desired route with the promo code “HAWAII40” as shown below.
For example, in late August, you could book round-trip tickets from Chicago’s Midway International Airport (MDW) to Kahului Airport (OGG) on Maui for less than $500. A green price tag and banner at the top will indicate sale fares.
Southwest’s Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares are both on sale, giving travelers two checked bags at no extra cost as well as one carry-on and one personal item. These tiers also include free inflight entertainment and messaging.
Fares can be changed or canceled up to 10 minutes before departure. However, if you cancel a Wanna Get Away trip, you will receive a flight credit in lieu of a refund.

Kilauea began a new episode of lava fountaining at its summit today, prompting an ashfall advisory for parts of Hawaii Island.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Episode 46 started at 8:17 a.m. inside Halemaʻumaʻu crater, with activity confined to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The volcano remains at watch alert level and orange aviation color code, indicating heightened unrest with increased potential for eruption hazards.
The National Weather Service issued an ashfall advisory through 8 p.m. for areas downwind of the summit, including Volcano and Mountain View.
Light and variable winds shifting southeast are expected to carry volcanic gas and ash across the summit region and toward the north and northwest areas.
Tephra, including ash and Pele’s hair, is most likely within about 3 miles of the vents, but lighter material can travel much farther.
Officials said impacts are expected to be limited, though ash particles can irritate eyes and lungs, especially for those with respiratory conditions.
Residents are urged to limit exposure by staying indoors when possible, closing windows and doors and wearing masks and eye protection if going outside.
People with water catchment systems should cover and disconnect them to prevent contamination.
Anyone observing ashfall is encouraged to report conditions to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory at hawaiiash.science/report_form.
