Check out Southwest’s massive fare sale. One way fares are $30 if you travel up to 400 miles, $60 for up to 750 miles and $90 for more than 750 miles. Fares are only this low for 48 hours – and many of the best flights are going quick!
Caveats: you must purchase the tickets on southwest.com or swabiz.com. Sale ends July 8, 2009, 11:59 p.m. P.S.T. You must travel September 9 through November 18, 2009. Travel valid every day except Fridays & Sundays.
Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
I found it very difficult/impossible to find the prices advertised unless you go out to November. Even then, most are not available. Just another gimmick by Southwest. They used to be a great airline with great prices. Now, barely competitive in most markets.

Pete, the fare sale is for flights between Sept 9 and Nov 18. I saw a number of $30 OW flights on a Saturday when I checked, so it’s not a joke. Changes are the best flights are already gone, tho.
