**Update: From United to Virgin America and from Delta to JetBlue, nearly all big carriers have matched the Southwest and AirTran sales that have dropped round-trip fares to less than $100 on hundreds of short routes across the country.

Flights of 450 miles less are $35 each way while longer flights are more. Fares top out at $125 each way on flights of more than 1,500 miles. You must purchase by 11:59 p.m. PST October 20, 2011.

Southwest Airlines continues to “make the right call” by kicking-off a 72-hour sale with fares as low as $35 one-way! You certainly can’t throw a penalty flag on that play.

• Purchase one-way tickets for $35, $65, $95 or $125 based on length of travel.
• For travel up to 450 miles, fares are $35 one-way.
• For travel 451 to 1,000 miles, fares are $65 one-way.
• For travel 1,001 to 1,500 miles, fares are $95 one-way. For travel 1,501 or more miles, fares are $125 one-way.

These incredibly low fares are available for purchase through 11:59 p.m. PST October 20, 2011, for travel beginning Nov. 30 through Dec. 14, 2011 and Jan. 4 through Feb. 15, 2012.
