You Have 48 Hours to Take Advantage of Southwest's $42 Flights

Southwest Airlines is currently offering flights for as little as $42 one way as part of a huge fall sale. But if you want to take advantage of the budget-friendly fares, you better move fast.

The promotion ends Thursday night, and seats are selling out quickly. However, we did spot some tickets still available for $47 from Burbank to Salt Lake City, $49 from Portland to San Fransisco, $49 from Dallas to New Orleans and $58 from Boston to Atlanta.

So if you were looking to escape for a three-day weekend, this is a pretty great excuse. Seriously, with flights from New York to Chicago starting at $64, you really have no reason not to go. Make haste!
