Southwest's $30-$60-$90 sale is 48 hours only
OK, I get a lot of airfare sales in my inbox. I'm sure you do too. I don't even look at all of them, so I can't say this one is the best. But it's certainly one I haven't seen from Southwest before and the price is right.
Here's the deal: One-way fares are based on the distance you're traveling. Travel up to 400 miles is $30 each way. For example, BWI to Boston or New York. (Take that Megabus.com. Well, not really, but it's close.) Travel between 400-650 miles is $60 = BWI to Fort Lauderdale or Milwaukee. Anything more than 750 miles is $90 = BWI to San Diego or Seattle.
You have to travel between Sept. 9 and Nov. 18. Great for a fall leaf-peeping trip. (I can't believe I said "leaf-peeping" and it's not even August yet. Groan.) Book now - sale only lasts 48 hours - through 11:59 p.m. Wednesday.

The SW website states that the prices are "as low as" $30, $60, and $90. I've looked at fares from SLC to BWI and Seattle for dates in September and October and have only seen a few "Wanna Get Away" fares (2-3) at $90, at inconvienent times. The rest were all well over $100 and up to $202. So much for a fare sale.
One note: The fares are not valid for travel on Fridays & Sundays. I didn't see that the first time around. -MDZ
