While these are more sales from the airlines that are known to publicize them the most, at least the Southwest fare sale is better than it normally is. With fares starting at $49 one-way throughout much of the country and being bookable through December, this is a sale you don’t want to miss!
This great Southwest sale gives tickets from only $49 each way
Southwest Fare Sale From $49
The Southwest fare sale is structure in tiers and looks like this:
- $49
- $99
- $129
- $149
The great thing about Southwest sales is that the sale price results in lower points for award travel as well, since the award price is revenue based. Along with that, another great thing about Southwest is that you can cancel your reservations – paid or award – and rebook them at no additional cost in fees. So, if you have previously booked travel for this sale period, you need to look and see if your trip has dropped in price and rebook with these sale prices.

One of the routes I checked – Rochester to Baltimore – is a great option for many of my running friends who like to run the Baltimore Marathon and gives you an example of what is possible. When booked with points, it comes to a total of 4,546 points roundtrip! That is a great deal to be sure!
JetBlue Fare Sale
The JetBlue fare sale is a little less inspiring but still a nice option if you need summer travel and Southwest does not serve your airports. With the $49 starting price not touching a lot of airports, count on spending a little more than that and the sale schedule does not run as deep into the year as the Southwest sale. Still, it is a sale!
