Southwest has round-trip flights from Houston (HOU) to Chicago or Atlanta (MDW/ATL) starting at $100, NONSTOP. $50-$55 each-way. Flights from June to September, mostly on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Weekends available in August and September. Origin/Destination reversible.

Note: Southwest doesn’t charge a change fee or a cancellation fee and allows for 2 checked bags for free.

Note: United and AA tend to match Southwest fares with inferior “Basic Economy” fares that have bag fees and other various restrictions. Those will not be worth it unless you can avoid the bag fees and don’t mind assigned random seating.

Note: You can save an additional $100 if you purchase your Flight+Hotel together as a package on Southwest Vacations and use the GETAWAY coupon code. Before you commit, always compare the prices of the individual Flights and Hotel with other hotel booking sites like Hotels.com or Tripadvisor.

  • Chicago – Example Dates: (BookingBuddy / Southwest) May 29 – Jun 05 / JuL 21 – JuL 24 / etc… / Aug 25 – Aug 27 / Other dates: Use the Fare Calendar on Southwest. There are more dates available than the ones we list here, experiment on your own.

  • Tips: Use Tripadvisor to create a Hotel “short list”. First, plug in your dates and destination. Then select “Sort by Traveler Ranked”. Finally, select the “Traveler Ranking” filter to show “only 4* and up”. Use this resulting “short list” of hotels to find the cheapest one with a high ranking.
  • Tips: Hotel rates for Weekend dates are usually higher than the rates for Sunday through Thursday. Tripadvisor has a color-coded date calendar, red when the average hotel price for that day is more expensive, green for less expensive. You can use this to get an overview of what dates in the month are at a discount.
  • Tips: Different booking websites will often have differing routes, prices, and availability. Before you finalize your purchase, do a quick check on BookingBuddy, Skyscanner, and Kayak to see if any other site or airline is offering a better deal.
