Southwest Fare Sale As Low as $59 (book by Thursday)

Most airline fare sales are mostly marketing. The prices offered aren’t anything out of the ordinary; you can often find the same prices before or after the sale is over, and sometimes the fare sale doesn’t provide much of a discount or incentive to book.

But this recently announced fare sale from Southwest is somewhat different and is definitely worth checking out.

Southwest Change and Cancellation Policy

Remember that Southwest has one of the best change and cancellation policies of any airline. There are no change or cancellation fees, so you can cancel at any time. The other side of that is that if you have any existing flights during the fare sale period, you can change with no fees. Given the 50% off fare sale, any flight you may have previously booked is likely to be at a lower cost right now.
