What Can You Buy For $99 Or Less?

Southwest Airlines today announced a special fare of $99 or less each way between any two published destinations on its expansive route map. In addition, the carrier is offering fares as low as $29 each way between select cities. "Think how much you've spent on your children's Pokemon cards, and you've probably spent more than the $99 it will cost to fly to any city on our route system," says Joyce Rogge, Southwest's vice president of marketing. "You work hard for your money, so you deserve a break." For example, a Southwest Customer can travel between Baltimore and Los Angeles, Phoenix, Reno/Tahoe, or Oakland for $99 each way, which represents a savings of almost $100 each way. From Long Island's MacArthur Airport, the $99 each way fare is good for travel to Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, or Phoenix at a savings of $86 each way. From Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville, Customers can travel for $99 each way to San Diego, Los Angeles, Oakland, or Seattle, at a savings of over $150 each way. From Kansas City, a Customer can fly to either Tampa or Orlando for as low as $79 each way, a savings of $39. The offer is good for roundtrip travel only, and an overnight stay is required. Seats are limited and will not be available on some flights that operate during peak travel times, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break holidays. Tickets must be purchased by Nov. 2, 1999, and the first date of travel is Oct. 7, 1999. Travel must be completed by March 31, 2000.

Fares are subject to change until ticketed, and any change in itinerary may result in an increase in fare. Fares do not include airport taxes of up to $12 roundtrip or a federal excise tax of up to $2.50 per segment.
