To qualify, give at least a ten day advance notice of travel. Several blackout dates apply: Dec. 18, 21-23, 25-30; Jan. 1-3; Feb. 18, 19, 21, 26; March 5, 12.
Hurry to purchase tickets as the Miami offer does not have a ticket-by date.
Sale fares listed here are subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly to make your purchase. I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly. You can also search for the sale at travel Web sites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc. Airlines can discontinue or pull a sale price without notice when the offer is deemed "sold out," or when that rate does not have a "ticket-by" date.
