Our Verdict

Southwest award flights cost are tied to the cash price so always a good idea to find the cheapest flight you can. Keep in mind all three Chase Southwest cards are up to 60,000 points currently as well (but you would not get them in time for this sale). Also worth checking if you already have flights booked to see if it makes sense to rebook.
