No black out dates this time! This is nice since this schedule includes things like winter break and spring break. While prices may be higher at those times, at least Southwest isn’t blacking out those dates.

This time around, the cheapest mainland dates are not just on the West Coast but also from Atlanta to southeast cities. Starting at $49, there are some good city pair deals to find!

    • That is a longer-haul so will cost more than the base $49 fare. That price is for shorter routes like southern California and into Nevada and Arizona. On the eastern part, it is Atlanta to Nashville and SC.
