Southwest Airlines is offering tickets for as low as $49 through Thursday for travel beginning later this month and running through spring.
The deal comes in the wake of the airline’s holiday travel collapse in the wake of the winter storm, which saw thousands of flights cancelled, along with passengers and their suitcases stranded for days.
Southwest has promised to compensate passengers and take steps to prevent a similar operational catastrophe from happening again.
Southwest Airlines $49 Fares
Southwest’s latest deals are available until 11:59 pm PST on Thursday. Fares as low as $49 one-way are available for flights between January 31 and May 17.
Blackout dates are February 16 and 20, with international travel and flights to San Juan, Puerto Rico also excluded from March 9 to April 10.
It is worth mentioning that in addition, the offers are only available on certain days for some routes, most of them on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
You can visit the airline’s website for full terms and conditions.
Was your Southwest flight canceled during?
Southwest has a web page for customers whose flights were canceled or severely delayed between December 24 and January 2.
According to the airline, travelers whose flights were canceled or delayed by more than three hours in that period are eligible for full refunds if they did not take a rebooked Southwest flight.
Those customers also qualify for 25,000 Rapid Rewards points, which must be claimed by March 31 through the airline’s portal.
In addition, Southwest will reimburse passengers for “reasonable” incidental expenses, including hotels, rental cars, other airline tickets, and food as a result of operational disruptions.
The airline issued guidance to investors last week that it expects the collapse to cost the company up to $825 million.
