Book These Southwest Summer Flights by Friday

Looking to find a way out of your impending summer slump—for cheap, that is? From now until Friday, May 18, Southwest Airlines is running a baller sale on flights in June, July and the hellmouth known as August. 

And yes, while half of the destinations will also be scorching, isn’t it nice to sweat in a different environment from time to time? We believe so. Why not take in the glorious Sun Studios and Stax Records and Graceland in Memphis for $79? Do the swamp tour of your dreams in Lafitte, Louisiana, a 30-minute drive from New Orleans for just $49? Or participate in a fun little protest in DC as the demise of our nation continues into the face-melting totally-not-climate-change sunny season for just $99? Here are our top recommendations: 

• New Orleans: $49
• Memphis, $79
• Washington DC, $99
• Austin, Corpus Christi, and San Antonio: $49
• Boston: $69
• Vegas: $79
• Jacksonville, Florida: $99
• Denver: $99

There are more flights available over the $100 price point—including Oakland and Los Angeles, and though no international flights are listed, a quick search does show trips to Mexico City for $104 and Cancun for $119.
