Southwest Airlines has extended its 72-hour fare sale after “high customer demand” caused problems with its website.
The sale, which began Tuesday and was slated to end at 11:59 p.m. Thursday, will now continue through Friday, the airline said in a message on its website.
“We apologize for any difficulties you may be experiencing on Southwest.com in connection with high Customer demand,” the message read. “You may also experience higher than normal hold times via our reservation call centers. Please know we are working to fix the issue as soon as possible. The sale has been extended through Friday 6/5 to give you extra time to book.”
The sale includes flights from Aug. 24 through Dec. 16. and offers one-way tickets as low as $49.
Destinations involved in the sale include Los Angeles, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Memphis, Denver, Boston, Minneapolis and Orlando, among many others.
The airline did a similar deal last year when it offered winter discounts at similar rates. Also last year, Frontier Airlines offered discounted one-way tickets for as low as $29.
