Alaska Airlines is holding a one-day flash sale with one-way tickets for as low as $49 and round-trip fares for a little as $98. However, you better act fast because these sale prices will disappear Tuesday night at 11:59 pm Pacific time.
Some of the best deals include $49 one-way fares between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. That means a round-trip flight between Tinsel Town and Sin City is just $98.
Flights between Alaska's home base in Seattle and Spokane, Washington or Boise, Idaho are also both available at the $49 price point.
In addition, tickets for flights between Seattle and San Francisco are on sale for just $79 one-way or $158 round-trip. However, if choose to fly into and out of Oakland just across the Bay, the cost of a flight from Seattle goes down to $69.
Flights between Seattle and Los Angeles are also available for $79 one-way or $158 round-trip.
Oddly enough, we found Alaska offering prices even cheaper than the advertised sale fare. For instance, we found flights between LA and Vegas on September 5 and September 7 for just $44 one-way and $88 round-trip.
So it helps to look even beyond the official sale period.
Needless to say, there is some fine print for this sale.
All tickets must be purchased on June 26, for travel between September 12 and December 19, 2018. Sale prices are only available for flights on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays. All tickets must also be purchased at least 21 days ahead of travel.
In addition, sale prices are not available for flights between the 15th and 29th of November.
Alaska Airlines officially merged operations with Virgin America in April. The Seattle-based airline acquired Virgin America for $2.6 billion in 2016 and is working to firmly establish itself as the carrier of choice for the Western United States.
