However, this does not influence our evaluations. Our opinions are our own. Here is a list of our partners and here's how we make money. Southwest Airlines offers a variety of free beverages in-flight, including soft drinks, tea, hot chocolate and coffee.

Scoring Southwest drink coupons can save you money on those purchases. Here are some tips for getting free drinks on Southwest. There is only one way to get free drink coupons from Southwest :.

Book a Business Select fare. When you fly Business Select , you get a coupon that's good for one free premium drink in-flight, along with priority boarding and Fly By check-in. Your drink coupon may be electronic especially if you check in through the app , or it may be a printed coupon with your boarding pass.

Previously, you could sometimes get drink coupons when you booked 10 qualifying flights with Southwest. This wasn't an officially published policy, you can book flights to earn drink coupons.

Specifically, these flights need to be ones that you pay for, not ones booked with Southwest Rapid Rewards points. Normally, you'd get physical coupons sent to you in the mail to bring on your flight and use to pay for your drink. Due to the COVID pandemic, Southwest temporarily suspended in-flight alcoholic drink service, and it stopped sending drink coupons.

Southwest never resumed the perk, so drink coupons may have gone the way of airline cancellation fees and daily hotel housekeeping. Southwest offers a variety of free nonalcoholic beverages, along with complimentary in-flight snacks. Drink coupons are meant for beverages that you'd ordinarily have to pay for.

Beverages that aren't free include:. According to the in-flight menu, all of these options can be purchased using Rapid Rewards or Southwest Business Select drink coupons. If you're flying between Hawaiian Islands, Southwest limits service to water and juice. But the airline will still honor drink coupons if you're flying Business Select.

Business Select drink coupons are valid only on the day of travel. If you don't have any drink coupons, here are some other tips you can try to save money on beer, wine and cocktail purchases.

You'll also earn Rapid Rewards points on those purchases, which you can use toward future flights. Look for free drinks on holidays: Southwest offers complimentary drinks to travelers on selected holidays.

Based on crowdsourced data, free drinks have been offered on St. Some customers have also commented that they received drink coupons on their birthday. While there's no guarantee, you may score a free drink without a coupon if you're traveling on a holiday or your birthday.

Ask: You may be able to get a free drink coupon just by asking. For example, if your flight's been delayed, Southwest may be willing to offer a free drink as partial compensation. Just because we always tell the bartender or waiter to "use a voucher" so there aren't any stray charges. Worked fine onboard, on CocoCay, and on Labadee.

Also is it 4 free drinks per Diamond member meaning 4 for my wife and 4 for me or is it 2 each for a total of 4? You get 4 per adult, so in your case you have 8 per couple and yes you can share them.

So you might drink 6 and your wife might drink 2 and that will be OK. Just make sure you present the correct cruise card to be scanned. You just saved me some money since we are not big enough drinkers to get the drink package but now will enjoy some frozen libations round the pool is 76 days not that we are counting or anything.

Thanks everyone for your quick responses! Much clearer than the website! We are looking forward to our B2B this July even more now that drink procurement is sorted out. Cheers and happy sailing to you all! Also, a fancy coffee anywhere except Starbucks.

We are leaving this weekend, thanks to all for confirming the information. Even if we buy a few or more extra drinks still so much less than buying the drink package! Thanks for the info.

Since you mentioned 5 vouchers, does that mean Diamond members get 5 drinks per day? So, on a 7-night cruise, would that include embarkation day, for a total of 6 days?

Just realized the 5 drinks are for Diamond Plus. So we only get 4 drinks each as Diamond. But I would still like confirmation that it includes embarkation day.

Is this correct? yes it does include embarkation day….. it also includes dsiembarkation day. So if you want a specialty coffee before or a cocktail in the windjammer they are included.

I usually get a bloody mary or a chai tea latte before i get off. I will have the deluxe beverage package on my next cruise and I will also have the 4 drink vouchers as a Diamond member. If I don't say anything for the first four drinks, will it be automatically charged to the vouchers or will it be part of the drink package?

I would like to save the 4 drinks in case I want to buy drinks for friends who may not have the package. Do I need to specifically say not to use the Diamond vouchers every time I get a drink? I have a feeling Royal Caribbean will soon enhance our cruise experience and remove this nice perk.

Did not ever use all of them. This was our first cruise as Diamond members and have to say I would hesitate going on another cruise line as we like the perks. It took us 4 days to find the Diamond Lounge and really liked it. They had computers for your use and I was able to check in for our flights the day before.

Edited March 20, by sellwingri. doublej Posted March 20, coachmike Posted March 20, BirdTravels Posted March 21, Posted March 21, HodgeNNicole Posted March 21, Do you get an actual "voucher" or is it loaded on to your sign and sail card?
