Usually, I leave the bargains and airfare sales to our daily deals page while I opine on “weightier” matters, but – in this tough economy, I think a great airfare sale qualifies for Topic A.

And, this is a great sale from Southwest, but hurry – you must book today, tomorrow or Thursday (Nov. 11 through Nov. 13).

Travel is good from Dec. 2 through Feb. 11 – and fares may not be available during key travel dates (12/20 thrug 1/4) – but that still gives you plenty of room to travel to Grandma’s house or get your college kid home for the holidays.

Bonus Good News: Other airlines are matching Southwest – check here to see the other airlines now offering holiday sales.
