The Cheapest Fall & Winter Airfares In 13 Years, No Tricks Just Treats!

On the weekend eve of Halloween, the travel goblins have placed a spell on the folks at Southwest Airlines.

They're offering thousands of spooky airfares loaded with no tricks, but plenty of treats for the traveling public.

Today, Southwest Airlines kicked off a system-wide blowout sale with airfares as low as $25 one-way for short-haul flights and coast to coast for as little as $100 one-way, or $200 roundtrip.

Customers can purchase one-way travel for $25, $50, $75, or $100 based on length of trip. For travel up to 375 miles, fares are $25 one-way. For travel between 375 and 549 miles, fares are $50 one-way. For travel between 550 and 999 miles, fares are $75 one-way. Lastly, for travel more than 1,000 miles, fares are just $100 one-way.

The last time Southwest Airlines offered airfares as low as $25 one-way was 13 years ago. This occurred during July 1996 for their 25th anniversary sale.

The first travel season is December 2 thru December 16, 2009 which is the two off peak travel weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas. The second travel period is between January 5 and February 10, 2010 . What a way to kick off the 2010 travel season with the same low airfares.

Tickets must be purchased no later than 11:59 pm Pacific Time on October 29, 2009. Travel is valid every day of the week except Sundays.

Southwest Airlines now serves 65 U.S. cities in 33 states and offers 3,300 daily flights, giving most of America the opportunity to fly a few hundred miles or 2,500 miles at prices so low it exceeds travel expectations even for the most frugal traveler.

This is the second time this year Southwest Airlines has sent a salvo of cheap airfares across America. On Tuesday, July 7, 2009, Southwest Airlines offered a two day sale on short-haul flights for $30 one-way and coast to coast for $80 one-way.

The demand for this Southwest Airlines airfare sale was so strong that it actually put their website in a shutdown mode for over an hour.

With the competition so fierce today to lure air travelers, we expect that by 10:00 am Central, that American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Northwest Airlines, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, US Airways and Alaska Airlines to respond and quickly match these new low airfares.

We also expect low-cost carriers such as AirTran Airways, jetBlue Airways, Virgin America and Frontier Airlines will be forced to reduce their airfares to match the new low fares of Southwest Airlines.

When you need a ghostbuster of an airfare travel deal, "Who ya gonna call?" Southwest Airlines.
