Southwest is presently running a discount to a number of beach destinations like Mexico, the Caribbean, and Florida, with one-way flights starting at just $69. Calling all Southwest lovers and even those of you who think you are above the low-cost carrier airline (tsk tsk).

To search the "Low Fare Calendar" after discovering a flight that works for you, just click "choose dates" once you've done that.
In this instance, the "Wanna Get Away" pricing allowed me to discover both legs of the STL-RSW journey for $69 each, so I booked a round-trip as usual.
If not, purchase two separate one-way tickets.
Members of Rapid Rewards can also book this deal using points.
You can use our new Awards vs. Cash Calculator to see whether a bargain is a better value in cash or points. RR points are presently valued at 1.5 cents each.
There is another announced bargain that runs until December 30 with flights as low as $59 one-way, but when we looked, we didn't come across any egregious discounts.
Your results may vary.
