International Southwest Sale Starting at $69 One-Way to the Caribbean & Mexico
INSIDER SECRET: Southwest doesn’t charge any change or cancellation fees, so when there is a sale it’s a great time to check to see if the price has dropped on Southwest flights you’ve already booked.
Through July 25, 2019, there is an international Southwest sale with one-way flights starting at $69 or 3,120 points + $5.60 in taxes. Keep in mind that the taxes and fees on round-trip flights from the Caribbean & Mexico are higher than domestic flights, but not outrageous (usually $35-$100).

It’s a good idea to book your Southwest tickets as far in advance as possible. If your plans change (or the price of your ticket drops), you can change or cancel your flight without paying extra fees.
You can find the details of the sale here. When you’re searching for round-trip travel the return flight from the Caribbean or Mexico will be more expensive than the flight departing from the US. This is mostly because of the increased taxes and fees on flights departing these countries, so unfortunately you’ll still be on the hook for these extra costs even if you book with points.
