Will Southwest Airlines Have a Summer Sale For Flights From Chicago?

Hi!
I am trying to plan an August trip to Las Vegas, but the fares seem very high. Do you think there will be a sale from Southwest for the summer months? Approximately when do you think the sale would be announced? Thanks for any advice!

Where are you flying from? What were you expecting to pay? What fares are you seeing?

Impossible to answer your question constructively without knowing a little more about your situation.
Doesn't her post state she is flying from Chicago ?
Edit to say post Title !


Southwest's anniversary is in June. For the past 3 years they have had a sale on June 9,10, or 11 for $49/$99/$139 (or similar), depending on the distance you fly. When this happens book FAST, especially in big cities like Chicago.

Aside from that, sales can happen any time - I ususally check 3-4-5 times a day, every day.

Subscribe to e-mails. Last week many of us got a 20% off coupon in e-mail. I used it to book DAL-LAS for $98 one way (although $98 was already their regular price the previous week).

Subscribe to Ding! Last week I got a Ding fare for DAL-CLT-DAL for $70 one-way, regular price $272 one way. Las Vegas Ding fares are rare nowadays, but you never know.

And, you can book a fare and if it goes down later, you can change your reservation (or cancel and rebook). The extra funds are good for 1 year - be sure to save your old confirmation number and use the ticketless travel funds on a future trip.

No, but the title now does.

Ignoring the ultra-frugal Spirit Airlines at $248 before the fees start to pile up, I see United flying from ORD to LAS for $315 roundtrip in July.

Not sure what the OP was hoping to pay, but that looks to me like a fair price.
Thanks for the advice. The lowest roundtrip from Chicago (Midway) for my dates in August were about $364. I was hoping to get it closer to $300. I guess I'll just keep checking the fares every day. I do subscribe to Ding, but I haven't seen a Chicago-Las Vegas Ding fare in a long time!
