Celebrating its 40th birthday, Southwest Airlines started running a promotion that�s sure to turn a lot of heads.
Fares start at $40 for one-way trips up to 450 miles, $80 for trips from 451 to 1,250 miles and $120 for trips over 1,251 miles.
The tickets do come with some conditions � you have to travel between Aug. 23 and Nov. 16 and you can�t travel on Fridays or Saturdays.
There are also a handful of blackout dates: Sept. 1, Sept. 5, Sept. 6 and Oct. 10.
Still, a cross-country trip for $120 is nothing to sneeze at, and there are plenty of people looking to get in on the deal. At the moment, Southwest�s Web page is lagging due to the thousands of travelers trying to get in on the sale, but don�t be discouraged. You�ll have to act fast to take advantage of the sale� the offer�s only good until Thursday.

Israel-New York for $120??? I’ll fly round-trip at that price. Beats lowering the price on cottage cheese.
The moon is also more than 1251 miles. But Southwest doesn’t go there either.
