Summer can be one of the most expensive times to travel in the US, especially around Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day holidays. It’s common for airlines to hike up their prices by as much as $400 during the summer months, and oftentimes you have no choice but to pay. Luckily, Southwest has an alternative. Their “Summer of $69” sale includes peak summer travel to and from dozens of major U.S. airports. Despite its name, you can actually find flights for even cheaper than $69 — as low as $55, actually.
