Short note – Southwest Airlines College Traveler Program
I just saw this and thought I would post it, as it may save students some money and for teams with tight budgets, may mean another flying tournament you can attend. Southwest is currently running a special for 18-23 year old college students that allows them to get four free flight credits plus the typical double credits for booking flights online – which means three round trips and they get a free roundtrip voucher. I tried looking to see if you had to be new to Rapid Rewards to get the benefit, but I could not find anything to indicate that. So, if you plan to fly your students to three tournaments during the year, they would then have a voucher they could use for a fourth tournament. Not a bad deal…especially with Southwest’s vouchers as their pretty liberal about usage compared with other airlines’ points plans.
Students can sign up here.
