Southwest Airlines kicks off fall/winter fare sale

Travel demand and fares typically tumble during the slower fall and winter months, and this year is no exception– some relatively low fares are starting to trickle out for cool weather trips.

Today, Southwest Airlines kicked off a "dead weeks" fare sale, and I expect other airlines to start matching these low fares in the next 24-48 hours.

So if you felt priced out of peak summer season-- or just stayed away due to the record crowds, take a look at what Southwest has on offer during the "dead weeks" between Thanksgiving and Christmas, and into the cold, dark early winter months.
