My Favorite Airline

Now don't laugh, but my favorite airline, hand's down, is Southwest Airlines. OK, go ahead and laugh if you like. Seriously, though, where else can you get one-way airfare between Chicago and Orlando for $59 ? That is hard to beat!

Sure it's a no frills airline, but I don't think that you'll ever have to worry about your reservations because of a chapter 11 filing either! They know how to take care of their customers and make money for their stockholders at the same time. That's a rare combination in this day and age!

Anyway, I think they're great and I fly with them every chance I get. You won't always get their best rates through most of the online services like Expedia or Orbitz. Instead, you will need to go to Southwest.com and book it there. You can also book rental cars and hotels there too.

So, I get their internet specials via email every week or two. I will post the basics of each of their specials here as often as I can. If you see something of interest you can go to their site and investigate further. Here are the specials from Sept 20th:
