Southwest Airlines is having a “California Super Sale” for tickets to fly within the Golden State for as low as $39 one-way. 

But these cheap tickets come with some restrictions: Southwest’s super-savings deal expires at the end of the day on Wednesday, August 22 at 11:59 p.m and those $39 fares are only available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays within the promotion calendar. 

Domestic travel booked under the plan is valid from September 11, 2018 through February 13, 2019. 

Using the slogan, “Don’t Wait, Golden State,” Southwest Airlines’ flight page features $39 one-way fares connecting travelers to cities all over California. The deal includes flights that depart from Southwest terminals in Los Angeles, San Diego, Burbank, Orange County/Santa Ana, Long Beach, Ontario/LA, Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose. The $39 one-way fare does not include government taxes and fees. 

Flight deals under this promotion were first made available to the public on Tuesday, August 21. 

While the $39 flights are offered on Tuesday and Wednesdays within the valid travel days, a search through the Southwest Airlines website found most other one-way fares during the week and weekend of the promotion were between $61 and $109.
