Southwest cuts Las Vegas flight fares
Southwest Airlines, the biggest carrier of Las Vegas-bound passengers, is doing its part to goose bookings for early 2009.
The airline this morning announced it would knock 50 percent off the lowest fare to Las Vegas for people who book before Dec. 31 and travel between Jan. 13 and March 11.
Roundtrip fares available include $69 roundtrip from Phoenix, $149 from Philadelphia, $159 from Dallas and $169 from Orlando.
The fares are available at www.southwest.com/lasvegas under the code "lasvegas."
Travel to Las Vegas by air was down nearly 15 percent in November and hotels are reducing rates to fill rooms.
