Southwest is that barista with kind eyes, who asks you how you are in a way that adds a silent "really" to the question. They have a reputation for being beloved, known for putting work in to make their customers' experience better, and for giving us a lot of discounts. And now they're back with one of their biggest breaks of the year, a 3-day sale with one-way tickets starting at $39.

All year Southwest has waited patiently beside the metaphoric espresso machine as you've tried to decide your order. Turks and Cacois at the end of July? Mmm, better not splurge. A trip to see the cousins in Denver? Family-tose intolerant. But this winter sale is the oat milk you've been waiting for them to add to the menu, the oat milk that will expire at 11:59pm on October 24 of this year (that's when the sale ends, to be clear).

You need to book the tickets on the airline's website. Select your departure city from the dropdown menu and peruse your options. FYI, the cheapest deals are mainly flights within Hawaii. A flight from Hilo to Honolulu is $39, for example. Now check out the list of our favorite deals below:
