This may sound impossibly cheap, but I kid you not! Airlines are aware that consumers are in need of good deals, and many are competing to offer the most appealingly affordable airfares. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can airlines offer such low fares?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Offering fares at such incredibly low prices may seem like bad business sense on their part. However, it allows them to gain publicity and generate buzz, and also to sell seats during periods when few people tend to travel&#8211;so it ends up benefiting them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southwest\u2019s twice-a-year fare sales: get in on the action<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Southwest offers twice-a-year fare sales each June and October<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, wherein round-trip fares fall below $100 on many of its shorter flights. The most recent sale had one-way flights starting at $49, with the price rising to $79 \/ $99 \/ $129 for longer flights (the price was primarily based on flight distance). <strong>During these sales, flights can also go<\/strong><\/span><strong><i> lower<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong> than $49 one-way;<\/strong> in the most recent sale, for instance, flights from Los Angeles to Albuquerque were available for $45 each way. Amazingly, here are also some international flights&#8211;starting at the only marginally higher price of $59.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These Southwest sales require that bargain hunters not dilly-dally, because they run for a short time, buyers compete for deals, and the sales are incredibly popular&#8211;June 2015\u2019s sale was so popular that the Southwest website actually crashed and they were forced to extend the sale by another 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While some fares have not been as low during recent sales as in preceding years, Southwest is still at the top of the list when it comes to the availability of fares as low as $49.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also worth looking into&#8211;other airlines matching (or beating) these sales<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Southwest is the airline best known for its sales\u2019 incredibly low prices, many other airlines recognize the high demand for these ultra low-cost flights and, accordingly, have decided to match or beat Southwest\u2019s sales. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, as recently as October 2017, popular airline JetBlue was offering $49 fares in a sale comparable to the ones Southwest is well-known for. For a period of two-days, you could find one-way JetBlue tickets starting at $49 to locations throughout the U.S., Caribbean, and South America. Impressive examples included $49 flights from Oakland to Long Beach, CA; $69 flights from Ft. Lauderdale to Turks and Caicos; and $74 flights from Florida to Barbados. All these examples are representative of the kind of deals you can find if you keep an eye out for these kinds of huge fare sales. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the periods when Southwest offers its sales (twice a year&#8211;June and October), it\u2019s worth checking out those sales as well as other airlines\u2019 offerings to ensure you\u2019re getting the best possible deal on the market. Rather than manually checking each airline\u2019s website, however, you\u2019re better off using a flight search tool. These tools are designed to search a broader array of options in greater depth than any person could reasonably do&#8211;in seconds, every flight option out there for weeks or months at a time is available at the click of a mouse. (Pretty amazing!)<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The best flight tool to use?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s one great flight search tool. Whatever your flight and travel needs may be, <\/span><b>this form allows you to search for the cheapest, best value deals for flights<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With unparalleled and comprehensive coverage, you\u2019ll find the internet\u2019s most affordable flights to and from virtually anywhere on the globe. It\u2019s worth a try if you\u2019re committed to flying affordably and not wasting a penny on your next trip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u21d3 Search and find the best offers to your next trip!<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"height: 650px; width: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.save70.com\/travel-form-widget.php?utm_source=49dollar-blog-page\" width=\"650\" height=\"650\" frameborder=\"0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travel is a wonderful opportunity to relax, have new and eye-opening experiences, and take a break from the day-to-day of our lives.
