Southwest Is Offering Flights That Are Cheaper Than Your Groceries
If you're lucky that is...
Southwest Airlines just announced one of their $49 flight sale! Get ready to book some cheap trips!
The sale runs through June 9, but you have to wait until August to actually travel. Sorry, no summer getaways for you!
Also, if you wanted to go somewhere fun for $49, you're probably out of luck. From here at Dose, in Chicago, one of the best destinations we have available is Pittsburgh...
Other wonderful destinations include Cleveland, Ohio; Flint, Michigan; and Omaha, Nebraska. Woo-hoo! Also, the $49 rate is only available if you travel on a Tuesday or a Wednesday—you know those super-popular travel days?
A flight to New York City from Chicago is listed as $99, which would be an awesome deal if a flight to New York City during the week wasn't normally listed at $94...
What gives, Southwest?
So yes, flights for $49 definitely exist, but good luck scoring one on a day you want to travel—or a location you actually want to visit.
