Southwest is there for you with this ‘Friends’-themed 30% off deal
If you didn’t watch “Friends,” this deal means far less to you. But luckily, Southwest Airlines deals don’t discriminate.
“This ‘Friends’-themed fare sale is for everyone,” Jennifer Bridie, vice president of marketing at Southwest Airlines, said in a statement.
To celebrate the 30th anniversary of some of TV’s greatest one-liners (“pivot” and “I’m fine,” among others), Southwest is offering 30% off base fares.
Use the code “FRIENDS” through Thursday, Sept. 26, for 30% off of travel through January 2025.

Sample flights
Because Southwest does not generally disclose its sale routes, it may be helpful to use the carrier’s Low Fare Calendar with the promo code “FRIENDS” applied to search for your desired route.
For example, you could book round-trip tickets from Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport (SDF) in Kentucky to Miami International Airport (MIA) the first week of November for less than $200 round-trip.
Southwest’s Wanna Get Away and Wanna Get Away Plus fares will be the cheapest. These fares offer two free checked bags, one carry-on and one personal item. They also include free inflight entertainment and messaging.
You can change or cancel both fares up to 10 minutes before departure, but you cannot cancel Wanna Get Away fares. Instead, you will receive a flight credit in lieu of a refund.
