Southwest Airlines
Southwest Airlines is known for having lower fares than most airlines. Despite the
brand name, Southwest flies to over 50 cities in the United States, including
destinations on the East Coast, the Southern United States, the Northwest and
Midwest. When conducting a search on a
discount airfare website, results for
Southwest's flights will not appear-you can only access Southwest's flights
directly from their website. You can also purchase
airline tickets from Southwest
over the phone, but the best method is to use the internet. That is because for
every four flights you purchase on the website, you will receive a fifth ticket in
the mail that is redeemable for a free flight to any Southwest destination.
Southwest's fares are less expensive because there is no assigned seating, no
business or first class, and they only use one type of jet. One special feature
they offer is not charging their customers for changing flight reservations
(on full fare tickets only). Other airlines can charge up to $100 for this
service. To find cheap airfare with Southwest over the phone,
