Can I find Southwest flights on sites like Skyscanner?
Historically, Southwest Airlines' flights would never show up on aggregate flight search engines like Skyscanner, Hipmunk, Expedia, etc. So when flying from city A to city B within the US, my process has always been:
- Search on Skyscanner, Momondo, Hipmunk, etc.
- Search on Southwest Airlines' website.
Today I was in the process of doing just that, and I searched Skyscanner for flights from BWI to Detroit on 10 January 2017. To my surprise, I found search results for Southwest!
Is this a Skyscanner-only perk, a quirk of timing, or can I now rely on being able to find Southwest fares on sites other than Southwest's? (And, eg, remove step 2 from my travel planning process above.)
Best Answer
Yes, Skyscanner will allow you to view if there is a Southwest flight available. However, sometimes the price may not be shown and you would need to click through to the Southwest site itself.

Do any travel sites include Southwest?
Southwest has long prevented third-party sites and apps from selling its fares, which is why you'll never see Southwest on Google Flights or Priceline. Delta Air Lines over the last few years has withdrawn permission to display its fares on about 30 sites and apps, such as Hipmunk, Fare Compare and Hopper.Does Southwest show up on Expedia?
Expedia is the place to find last-minute flights from Southwest, making it easy for you to compare prices on flights in the near future for different combinations of travel dates and from multiple airlines.Does Southwest show up on Google Flights?
However, it's important to note that Google Flights does not include some major airlines, like Southwest, Air China, China Eastern and others. Other airlines, like Aeromexico and Interjet only display some flights, but not all on Google Flights.Does Kayak show Southwest flights?
Simple Fare and Distribution Plan If you go to Kayak or Orbitz expecting to search for a Southwest flight, you'll be disappointed.
