Score cheap flights: Southwest's "Wanna Get Away" sale has select one-way Southwest flights starting at just $39, with travel valid from Feb. 12 to May 22. You'll want to book sooner rather than later though — your last chance to lock in this deal is Jan. 25 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
We're officially in the swing of the new year, and if a few weeks back at the grind has you ready for a vacation, Southwest has got you covered.
With their aptly named "Wanna Get Away" sale, Southwest is offering select one-way flights starting at just $39, for travel between Feb. 12 and May 22. Technically the promo is valid from Feb. 6, but you have to purchase your flights 21 days in advance, so if you book today, Jan. 22, the first available day is Feb. 12. Your last day to book is Thursday, Jan. 25 by 11:59 p.m. PT, so if you want to lock in a cheap flight, this is the time.
A $39 flight, even if one way, is a solid deal — even if you booked a two one-way flights to cover a round trip, it'd cost you under $85. So what's the catch? Certain seats and markets are limited, and this rate may apply to nonstop or connecting flights. And while you can travel from February to May, you are limited to traveling on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
If you're willing to work with those parameters, you can save a ton on your travel this spring. Again, just remember to book before Jan. 25 if you want to take advantage of this deal.
