Southwest Airlines Sale: Score Cheap Tickets Out Of Kansas City

KANSAS CITY, MO — Southwest Airlines just announced a 72-hour sale and tickets nationwide can be had for as low as $49. From Kansas City, you can score one-way tickets to more than two dozen cities for as low as $49. (See deals out of St. Louis here.)

The Southwest sale, launched Tuesday, includes short and long routes and the ticket prices generally reflect that — the shorter the trip, the cheaper the fare.

You can buy tickets starting Tuesday and must purchase them by the end of Thursday in the respective time zone of the departing city. The sale applies to travel between Nov. 28 and Dec. 19, as well as from Jan. 3 to Feb. 13.

As with past Southwest flash sales, you won’t be able to travel on Fridays or Saturdays. Some states have even more restrictions on which days you can travel, including Florida and Nevada.
