    Bundle and save

    Everything's better together. Especially when you're bundling your flight and hotel. And when you add features like sightseeing tours, attractions, and a rental car, you can save even more than you already are.

    Bags fly free®

    The name pretty much says it all. The first and second checked bags fly free, weight and size limits apply, and a golf bag, pair of skis, or a snow board can be substituted for one checked bag. Pretty simple.

    Rapid Rewards®

    As you'd probably expect, you can earn Rapid Rewards® points pretty quickly. After all, planes travel pretty fast. Members can earn points on the flight portion for each Southwest Airlines® air-inclusive vacation itinerary booked through southwestvacations.com. Although, all you really need to know is that the program is pretty awesome. Learn more about the Rapid Rewards program.

    EarlyBird Check-In®

    You know what they say, the early bird gets the worm. Well, the same is true for EarlyBird Check-In®. If EarlyBird Check-In is available, we'll automatically check you in and assign your boarding position within 36 hours of your flight's departure - that's 12 hours before general boarding positions become available. This optional benefit improves your seat selection and provides earlier access to overhead bin storage. Quite the worm, huh? Buy EarlyBird Check-In with your vacation package or learn more.

    Exclusive perks

    You don’t need a reason to explore Mexico or the Caribbean (they’re pretty amazing all on their own). But we thought we’d throw one in just for good measure. And with free exclusives everywhere you go, let’s just say, it’s a really good reason.
