Alaska Airlines launched a two-day fare sale on Tuesday with one-way tickets for as little as $39.
The Seattle, Washington-based carrier will make discount tickets available in both its traditional Main fare economy cabin as well as in its newly launched Saver fare, which is a less restrictive form of the basic economy product offered by American, Delta, and United.
Even though the sale is nationwide, some of the best deals to be had are out of Los Angeles. For example, Saver fare one-way flights to Las Vegas and San Jose are available for just $39, while traditional Main fare tickets are available for $69. A flight from LA to San Francisco is only slightly more expensive at $49 with the Saver fare and $79 with the Main fare.
In addition, tickets must be purchased 21 days ahead of travel.

Alaska's Saver fare and other basic economy tickets are discount fare classes within an airline's economy cabin. As a result, the in-flight service and experience will be the same for Saver fare as it will be for someone who purchased a pricier Main fare ticket. This means passengers who go the Saver route will sit in the same seats, enjoy the same in-flight perks, and amenities as everyone else in coach.
Saver fare tickets are neither changeable nor cancelable, nor will they be eligible for upgrades. Those traveling on Saver fare tickets will also board last. And while you will be able to pre-select your seat, it will have to be at the back of the plane.
