Southwest Airlines Rings in New Year with Mega Airfare Sale

January 1, 2009 | Posted in: Airfare Sales, Airlines, Southwest

Here’s one New Year’s resolution you can keep — to save on airfare — and Southwest makes it easy.

Airfares begin as low as $49 one-way for travel Tuesdays and Wednesdays or $59 one-way for travel other days. Coast-to-coast flights start as low as $89 one-way.

You must book by Jan. 19 and there is a 14 day advance-purchase requirement. Some sample ticket prices include:

  • Baltimore to Orlando, $49 one-way
  • Chicago to Ft. Lauderdale, $59 one-way
  • Ft. Lauderdale to Los Angeles, $89 one-way
  • Baltimore to San Diego, $99 one-way
  • Chicago to Los Angeles, $99 one-way

Better Yet: Most of the major airlines have matched on Southwest routes!

Searches on FareCompare.com for travel on Southwest routes shows show you the starting cheapest base price (at the top). A quick click and you can pick your seats on Southwest.com (and compare others).

Travel is good from Jan. 15 through the end of April — yes that includes Spring Break.

And don’t forget: Southwest begins flights to Minneapolis in early March, and yes they are included too.

Indeed this seems like a good start of Year of the Airfare Sales“.
