Fall and winter travel planning is in full swing. Southwest Airlines' latest sale could help you get somewhere for less.
Southwest just launched its latest sale , teasing one-way fare as low as $59. These low rates are available for travel from Oct. 4 all the way through Feb. 15 – just be sure to book by Oct. 3, when this sale ends. And keep in mind that travel around Thanksgiving (from Nov. 17 to Nov. 29) and Christmas and New Year's (Dec. 16 through Jan. 2, 2023) won't benefit from this sale.
There's no need to enter promo codes or dig through your inbox to get these low fares. Just head to the Southwest sale page and pick your home airport – or simply pull up Southwest's low fare calendar to get a month-long view and find the best deals.
This is a window to score some massive savings for travel this fall and into the winter. The deals vary wildly from airport to airport, but we're seeing some stellar fares like…
Chicago-Midway (MDW) to Nashville (BNA) for $59 each way
Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) to Chicago-Midway (MDW) for $71 each way
California airports to Honolulu (HNL) or Maui (OGG) for $129 each way
Austin (AUS) to New Orleans (MSY) from $59 each way
And many more. And since using Southwest Rapid Rewards points hinges on the cash price, these lower fares mean you could get an even better deal using points and miles to book a Southwest flight this year or early next.
Keep reading to see how it's done.
