This week our favorite fee-free airline, Southwest, launched a fare sale that includes holiday travel. The Winter special offers one-way tickets for $49-109 (Monday-Thursday and Saturday) or $59-159 (Friday and Sunday). You must book your ticket by midnight tonight (Nov. 13) and travel between Dec. 2, 2008, and Feb. 11, 2009.
That time period frames the holidays just perfectly, so if you were skipping the family gathering this year because of escalated airfare, this may be an opportunity to reconsider. And that ski trip you were on the fence about? Seems like you may be able to afford it, after all.

perfect for my sister coming in Jan!!
1Ok. So I went there, selected travel dates that all coincided with their "restrictions" and the cheapest selection was $183!!! (For a one way ticket) I thought it was supposed to be between $49 and $109. Bummer.
2pretty cool. but i hate flying s.w.!
3I had the same problem, syako. I can't seem to find a one-way under $249
4my sister is coming the first week of Jan and there were plenty of the $49 rates, the more in the afternoon the more expensive it looked like. Try checking on different days maybe
5I did, Renees3, but I need Dec 30 - Jan 2. I'm very much doubting I'm going to come in under $500.
6Boo Southwest!
7I hate flying Southwest!
8southwest def isn't posh, but it's so much cheaper than other options (for where we live and where we go) that we always fly it. husband and I are flying round-trip for christmas for just over $600, which I didn't think was bad for the holidays.
9($600 total, not each)
10someone i know was talking about this the other day and that's just amazing. too bad they don't have easy flights for me to go to the places that i'm planning to travel but i guess that's the sacrifice that i'd have to make for a good deal.
