Southwest is having yet another fare sale, although this one will stick around for a bit longer than other flash sales we’ve seen. From now through October 12th (Thursday) you can book flights starting at $49 one-way within the US
Or as low as $99 to Mexico, Central America or the Caribbean.
Flights are on sale between October 31st and March 2nd, though there are blackout dates (see below)
Because Southwest has award prices that are tied to the cost of revenue tickets, this means they effectively have an award sale as well. Here are some of the details:

Conclusion
The other thing to do (as Dan has pointed out before) with these Southwest fare sales is to check your existing bookings. Because of Southwest’s amazing cancellation policy, there is no penalty for changing your flight if the price goes down.
