Southwest Airline Flights & Fares

Recently, southwest airlines have announced their new flight schedule and fares from Philadelphia from May 9 2004. Now customers can easily purchase tickets for the new service with airfares starting from as low as $29 one way.

Even the most expensive airfare offered by the Southwest airlines to and from Philadelphia is quite inexpensive. In the beginning these airfares started at a mere $49 one way to Providence and they top out at only $299 one way for cross country flights to Las Vegas, Phoenix and the west coast. You are not required for an advance purchase or overnight stay on these unrestricted fares.

Southwest airlines is quite popular for its low fare leadership and the legacy carriers that serve Philadelphia are charging up to a whopping $497 one way for an unrestricted ticket to Providence (Boston area) as compared to southwest’s meager $49 one way unrestricted fare to Providence. In the same way, the walk up fare of the southwest between Philadelphia and Chicago midway is only $99 one way.

In case you purchase at least 14 days in advance of your departure and within one day of making reservations, southwest offers a non refundable fare between Philadelphia and Chicago for only $79 one way as compared to its competitors who charge $123 each way. Therefore you can easily find a comparable savings across the board.
