There are some international options, too. Southwest flies to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Here are some of the low-cost fares available through Southwest's winter sale:

- As low as $119 between Houston-Belize

The fare sale probably won't help you score a cheap long weekend or shave your holiday travel costs
Southwest rolled out flights to Hawaii in March - with one-way fares as low as $49. But there aren't any deals in the winter sale this time around to go from the mainland US to Hawaii, only options to travel within the island.

The fare sale also doesn't do much for people hoping to score a cheap long-weekend. The fares don't apply to Friday or Sunday tickets for continental US travel, unless otherwise specified.
And for hot spots like Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale, and Las Vegas, travelers can only go to and from those cities from Sunday through Wednesday. Travel to Mexico is only valid from Sundays to Wednesdays, while travel from Mexico can only be booked on Tuesdays to Fridays.
Otherwise, tickets must be booked between November 13, 2019 through Feb. 12, 2020.
There are plenty of stipulations within those dates. Matching with Thanksgiving and Christmas travel, continental US fares are blacked out from November 22 to Dec. 3, 2019 and from Dec. 19, 2019 to Jan. 5, 2020.
