You Have 24 Hours to Book One of Southwest’s $39 Birthday Flights

southwest hero

Best news: Southwest Airlines is turning the big 4-6 this year, and to celebrate, it's offering tickets as low as $39 one-way. More like happy birthday to us.

While most of the cheapest flights are domestic, there are some awesome fares to places you’ve always wanted to go: Mexico City, Cabo, Belize, the Bahamas and more. You can view the whole list on Southwest’s site. 

The catch, you ask? Well, there are a couple—and they’re timely—so read quickly.

First, you have to make your reservations by 11:59 p.m. on June 15 in the time zone of your departure city. The second is that the sale prices are only for flights departing Monday through Thursday between August 22 and December 16. And the third, sadly, is that no, your flight home for Thanksgiving will not be part of the sale since blackout days apply.

Hey, we’re not complaining. Instead, we’re heading to Cuba for $99. Wonder what the airline will do when it turns 50. Hope we’re invited…
