Southwest Airlines Offers Summer Fare Sale

Southwest Airlines announced a rare summer fare sale for those that are looking to get away.

The airline is offering one-way fares of $49, $79, $99, $129 and $149 depending on flight distance. The four day “Sale of the Summer” ends Friday and covers travel between the dates of June 5th and October 31st.

Travelers should note there are some stipulations to the sale pricing. The cheapest fares are available for travel only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and only on nonstop flights. Travelers departing out of Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport will find very few fare sales fares to the East Coast because Southwest does not fly nonstop to most cities except Baltimore.


Examples of one-way sale fares from Phoenix:

  • $49: San Diego, Albuquerque, Las Vegas, Los Angeles
  • $79: Denver, San Francisco, Oakland, Salt Lake City
  • $99: Dallas, San Antonio
  • $129: Chicago, Minneapolis
  • $149: Nashville, Louisville, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Pittsburgh

Travelers should use Southwest’s low fare calendar to find dates with availability.
