It may still be early March, but rest assured that spring is in the air – airfare that is. Just have a look at the fantastic rates we've found on spring travel to popular US cities from $49 (one-way) and European capitals from $200 (one-way). Plus, explore exotic cities in Asia from $761 (round-trip), or hop aboard new, inexpensive routes bound for LA or the Colorado Rockies from $49 (one-way). Rates for most destinations are known to skyrocket and throngs of crowds to pour in once summer rolls around, so beat the seasonal rush and plan that dream vacation in springtime instead.

Southwest fare sale to/from 70+ US cities from $49 one-way

Just be sure to book at least 14 days in advance of travel, and no later than March 20, when this deal expires.
