Southwest Sale On Flights Out Of Tucson Ends Thursday

TUCSON, AZ — Southwest Airlines has launched a three-day sale and Arizona travelers can fly out of Tucson International Airport for pennies on the dollar. The fall fare sale, posted Tuesday morning, features flights nationwide and ends Thursday just before midnight.

One-way tickets out of many airports could be had for as little as $49 or $79, while many round-trip tickets could be had for $98.

Here are the deals out of Tucson International Airport:

• To San Jose: one-way starting at $79
• To San Diego: one-way starting at $49
• To Los Angeles: one-way starting at $49
• To Las Vegas: one-way starting at $59

As with all Southwest Airlines three-day sales, make sure you read the fine-print. First and foremost, you have to book your flight by 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on Thursday. The tickets are not refundable, so be sure they’re what you want. Certain seats and dates will not be available, including Labor Day weekend and the Thanksgiving holiday.

And you should probably prepare to fly during the week — Fridays and Sundays are mostly unavailable.

Moreover, travel within the continental U.S. is valid only from Aug. 20 through Dec. 5, 2019, and international travel is valid Aug. 20 through Dec. 11. Separate dates apply for flights to places like Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

The sale is meant to fill empty seats during slower travel periods, according to USA Today. The airline has a second large sale in early October.
