Southwest just announced a “Click n Save” aka “Dead Season Sale” from select cities for as low as $49 each way (before taxes). When you add up the taxes and charges there are some decent fares, including Los Angeles (LAX) to San Francisco (SFO) for $119 (see below).

Travel is good from December 2 through March 9, 2010. Unfortunately, this won’t help during Thanksgiving. Nor Christmas for that matter, since December 18 – January 4 is blacked out. However, for most of January and February there are low fares. Call this the “Ski Trip/Valentine’s Day Travel” sale if you want!

Additional details include…

• 14-day advance purchase required.
• Purchase by November 23, 2009, 11:59 pm Pacific Time.
• Travel valid every day except Fridays & Sundays.
• Blackout Dates Apply: December 18 – January 4, 2010.

In an effort to fill-up planes during the “pre” and “post-holiday” travel downtime, Southwest Airlines is having a 3-day fare sale for travel between December 2 – December 16, and January 5 – February 10. Sundays don’t qualify. Tickets must be purchased by midnight on October 29.

Dubbed the “4th quarter sale”, one-way ticket prices start at…

$25 for travel up to 374 miles
$50 (375 – 549 miles)
$75 (550 – 999 miles)
$100 (1,000+ miles)

The key is to find cities just below the next mileage interval to land an immense deal! For example, Los Angeles (LAX) to San Francisco (SFO) is just below 375 miles and qualifies for the $25 each-way fare! Additional $25 routes are…

Los Angeles (LAX) to Phoenix (PHX)
Los Angeles (LAX) to Las Vegas (LAS)
Boston (BOS) to Baltimore (BWI)
Chicago (MDW) to Minneapolis (MSP)
Phoenix (PHX) to El Paso (ELP)

Be mindful of the different airports in your area and their respective flying distances to your final destination. For example, LAX to Reno (RNO) is $50, whereas Burbank (BUR) to Reno is only $25. So, be strategic with your itinerary!
