Earning Points. The number of points you earn for flying Southwest depends on the type of fare you choose. You will earn 12 points per dollar with Business Select fares, 10 points per dollar with Anytime fares and six points per dollar with Wanna Get Away fares.
Booking an economy award would require 45,000 points plus 100,000 more for a later upgrade to business class: a total of 145,000 points. However, the flyer would save more than $200 cash in the latter scenario because there are no additional cash taxes or fees payable with the points upgrade. On the Sydney-Melbourne route, an initial business class award booking would require 16,000 points, whereas an economy booking upgraded later to business would require 20,000 points in total.
