Southwest Launches a Doozy of a Nationwide Sale

Do you know what you're doing in June? We don't either because we enjoy the thrill of last-minute jetting, but if Southwest Airlines' massive fare sale has anything to say about it, we may end up baking under the early summer sun in Florida.

Having just launched one of their biggest airfare sales ever this morning, Southwest is aiming for full flights and happy passengers through early summer with their one-way deals. According to the Star-Telegram, this blowout is unprecedented for the airline as it coveres nationwide destinations, continues through the peak travel period of June, and it is the airline's "first sale of the year to include cities in Florida, which suggests that leisure travel to beach destinations is slipping."

It's also noteworthy that this is Southwest's fifth fare sale so far this year, and February hasn't even finished. In time like these, however, too many sales are still never enough and so if this deal doesn't get the masses booking, then at least it will have many supercharging their trip plans for late summer; the "staycation" needs to die.
