Nice deal! Here's some info on the taxes:

Fares do not include federal excise tax of $3.70 per takeoff and landing, airport-assessed passenger facility charges (PFC) of up to $9, and government-imposed September 11th Security Fee of up to $5 one-way.

with the $39 flight the total airfare comes to $72.56 round trip but the taxes add up to another $48.24 so it totals about $120

@caniac45, @oo7slice: Thanks for the added info! That's still a great deal for a round trip flight (if possible)

I went through the steps to do a round-trip flight and it came to 99 dollars and change. It was from LAX to Sacramento, traveling on consecutive thursdays, so it might be more expensive going a longer distance, but that's the price the site gave me.

@dupes: Did you use the links at the bottom? Also, you have to travel from March 15 to May 25, 2010. And certain times are higher priced as well.

I live outside of Denver. The only place to visit with this fair that seemed remotly interesting was Lubbock, Texas.

That's right, Lubbock, Texas was for once the most exciting place.

THANKS! I was planning on driving from the SF area down to Disneyland during spring break, but this made it about $100/person to fly down and save myself kids in a car for 8 hours there and 8 hours back.... YAY!

From $39 means not every destination and not every flight. Plus that's the base fare, not what it will really cost.

Just booked NYC to RDU ... $39 fare + segment fee + passenger facility fee + security fee = $60.40 per person.

Fares from RDU to NYC when we needed to travel totaled $120 (fare + taxes and fees) per person on Southwest, but we could fly Delta for total fare of $69 per person.

So all in all ... it's a still a good deal if you can get it, but (as always) it pays to look around for the best deal.

Just booked 4 of us from Reno to Orange County on $39 fares....I have never seen it this low to So Cal from here.

FAIL!!! Suck you in with $39 advertisements and end up paying $120 RT? I'm from Dallas so it's even worse because of the lame-brained half-witted Write Amendment. If I wanted to fly to NYC, DEN, SFO, SJC, ANYWHERE outside the bordering states, I'd pay $240.

$240 = FAIL

@yeller: Well... It does say ONE WAY. Also, look at my options from Providence, Pittsburgh, Philladelphia, or Baltimore. It's still a good value IF you want/need to fly to the places near you. I suppose I should have put Southwest's title "Travel Near with your dear for $39." The key there is Near, I don't think there is any deception there.

Remember, bags fly free on Southwest! Also unlimited free snacks and drinks on board. I've been flying Southwest for a number of years now and consistently find their staff to be extremely friendly and willing to go the extra mile to help.

These deals are never any good for people living in Orlando. The only places I could go are:
- Ft Lauderdale (the 3hr drive would be faster)
- Birmingham, AL (no thanks)

THANKS !
Just bought a ticket for my eldest sister to come visit me, whom I have only seen twice in the last 10 or so years, and during less than enjoyable circumstances.

Ticket cost was less than the fuel to make the ~22+ hr. drive, and I got her a non-stop flight that will only take 2-1/2 hours vs. a ~22 hr road trip :)

Just a heads up:

"Sorry, this special offer is either no longer valid or not available. Please view our current specials or book your travel on southwest.com. "

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
