Southwest and Alaska Airlines have just posted round-trip flights to various destinations in the USA at a discount today for $109-$190, Nonstop or with a connection. Dates vary, use the linked calendar. Cheapest fares are mostly midweek. Most fares are reversible.
(Updated: American and United now matching, list updated with their fares.)
Notes: Most destinations have flights between September to February available. The exact ranges for each destination will vary. Use the Google calendar view to get an idea of what dates work.
Flights to smaller airports may require a long connection or two stops. When you begin your search, modify your filter to remove fares that have more than one connection, some of those smaller airports ONLY have flights with bad routing.
American, Delta, and United almost always end up matching and in some cases, beating, these Southwest sales when they see them. It took them about 19-hours to match the previous sale.
WE EXPECT PRICES TO DIP MORE WHEN THOSE AIRLINES MATCH, BUT THESE PRICES ARE GOOD, EVEN BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.
