Southwest Airlines has announced available for a limited time. Travelers can add another flight sale to their radar, with Southwest offering flights as low as $39.
*Restrictions, exclusions, and blackout dates apply. 21- day advance purchase required. Seats and days limited. Select markets. Book 4/2-4/11.
Travelers can find deals as low as $39 per one-way flight in the Wanna Get Away class or flights as low as $59 per one-way in the Wanna Get Away Plus class. (There are four classes on Southwest flights—Wanna Get Away, Wanna Get Away Plus, Anytime, and Business Select.)
Those extra $10 in the Wanna Get Away Plus class allow travelers a transferable flight credit and a same-day change (if needed). Rapid Rewards Members can also earn 8x Rapid Rewards points on their travel.
Note that a 21-day advance purchase is required, and fares are nonrefundable. Additionally, blackout dates apply, and sale fares are not available in all markets that Southwest serves. Prices don’t include government taxes and fees. However, those fees are usually $5.60 per one-way flight (and not hundreds of dollars like they are on other airlines).

Lufthansa is taking off with its all-new first and business class seats ahead of the busy summer season. On May 1, the first Allegris premium cabins will start flying in the sky on select Lufthansa long-haul routes. The German airline confirmed that its first route with the Allegris product will fly between Munich and Vancouver on an Airbus A350-900 aircraft. As more Airbus A350s get delivered soon to Lufthansa’s fleet, travelers will be able to experience Allegris on the carrier’s routes from Germany to Toronto, Chicago, and Montreal throughout the summer. The new Allegris seat was first announced in 2017, which promised a sleek new experience for passengers sitting up front. Onboard this Airbus A350, there will be three first-class suites equipped with separate bed and dining areas, marking Lufthansa’s first-ever double bed option designed for two passengers. “Every guest has their own understanding of premium, which is why we focus on maximum individuality and exclusivity,” CEO of Lufthansa, Jens Ritter, said in a statement about the new cabin. “The First Class Suite Plus conveys the feeling of privacy and individuality similar to a hotel room – only at an altitude of eleven kilometers.”
