Southwest Airlines has unveiled its latest set of airfare deals with one-way tickets starting at just $42 for this fall and winter.

The latest sale, which ends Thursday, August 22, at 11:59 p.m. PT, offers discounted one-way fares nationwide, according to the airline. While no promo code is needed, a 21-day advance purchase is necessary to take advantage of the sale fares.

However, this Southwest sale specifically excludes all California travel. Although the discounted fares are generally available over the next six months, there are several blackout dates to be aware of:

  • Continental U.S. flights are valid between Sept. 10 and March 5, but excluded from Nov. 21 to 25 and Dec. 18 to Jan. 7

  • Flights to Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and international destinations are valid between Sep. 10 and Feb. 10, but excluded from Nov. 21 to 25 and Dec. 18 to Jan. 7

  • Flights from Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and international destinations are valid between Sep. 10 and Feb. 10, but excluded from Nov. 29 to Dec. 3 and Dec. 18 to Jan. 7

  • Interisland Hawaii flights are valid between Sep. 10 and Feb. 10, but excluded from Dec. 18 to Jan. 7

The same flights can also be booked using Rapid Rewards points, starting at just 3,800 points. However, domestic redemptions will require an additional $5.60 in taxes and fees for a one-way ticket.

Travelers without set plans can use Southwest’s Low Fare Calendar to find the best deals in a calendar view. Travel + Leisure found these one-way tickets over the next few months:

  • Jacksonville (JAX) to/from Atlanta (ATL): $42 or 2,075 points

  • New York (LGA) to/from Nashville (BNA): $46 or 2,385 points

  • Chicago (MDW) to/from Pittsburgh (PIT): $47 or 2,462 points

  • Baltimore (BWI) to/from Charlotte (CLT): $59 or 3,389 points

  • Denver (DEN) to/from Montrose/Telluride (MTJ): $59 or 3,389 points

All of these discounted tickets are offered in Southwest’s “Wanna Get Away” fare class, which includes two free checked bags, along with free changes and cancellations. However, with the airline moving away from its open-boarding policy, assigned seating will be introduced in the future.
