International Bookings Live on Southwest.com! CP Allowed!

You can book International from southwest.com!

It will not let me log in so I cannot determine if the CP works yet! I checked BWI-MBJ which has NS routes on a 737-700! Also NS to AUA. Looks like options out of ATL as well.

When you go to the pay screen, there is a new area for Passport information.

EDIT: Companion Pass works for Int'l travel!

When you click on the "Where We Fly" link on the left side of the main web page, you get a list of all cities flown by both WN and FL. You can de-select FL; the new list of WN-only cities now has AUA, MBJ, and NAS (but no other int'l cities).

My speculation: Ability to use the Companion Pass on international flights may lead to the demise or devaluation of the Companion Pass after 2015. If you were planning to earn a Companion Pass in early 2015, you might want to accelerate that plan and do it now instead.

I just tried BOS-AUA and BOS-CUN for February, May, and July. All of these redirected me to AirTran to continue booking... Not sure what everyone else is seeing?

Either A: It's not 100% live or B: No connections allowed. I cannot find HOU-MBJ even though I can come up with valid connections for HOU-ATL-MBJ.

$303.00
Total $411.30

1 Security Fee is the government-imposed September 11th Security Fee.
+Passenger Facility Charge $4.50
+Security Fee1 $2.50
+U.S. Customs User Fee $5.50
+U.S. APHIS User Fee $5.00
+U.S. Immigration User Fee $7.00
+Jamaica Airport Improvement Fee $5.00
+Jamaica Passenger Facility Charge $3.00
+Jamaica Passenger Levy $20.00
+Jamaica Passenger Aviation Service Charge $8.00
+Jamaica Travel Tax $16.91
+Jamaica Passenger Service & Security Fee $10.89

I had no idea Jamaica charged that much to visitors. Geeez. With US fees, over $100!

Not worth it to my family.

Didn't mean to the throw the dreaded "fuel surcharge" language out there, I just wasn't sure what the fee was haha. Glad to see a full booking detail, thanks.

It appears you can only book international travel starting July 1 and only on WN flights correct?
