Southwest 4-Day Sale Flights From Logan Just Arrived

BOSTON, MA — Last month’s fatal accident dealt Southwest Airlines a financial blow, and the airline is looking to recoup its losses with a summer fare sale. Travelers from Logan Airport may find some deals on flights, starting as low as $49.

On April 17, a passenger aboard Southwest Flight 1380 from New York LaGuardia Airport to Dallas Love Field was killed when the engine exploded in-flight, sending shrapnel into the fuselage and shattering a window, which caused a rapid cabin depressurization.

In a recent earnings call last month, Southwest said bookings for flights have been depressed since the incident. Southwest Chairman and CEO Gary C. Kelly said the booking softness was “predictable” in the wake of the accident

The four-day “sale of the summer” promotion ends Friday and covers travel between June 5 and Oct. 31. Travelers are allowed to check up to two bags at no cost.

“These fares are so low you can’t afford to miss that summer vacation,” Ryan Green, vice president and chief marketing officer at Southwest Airlines, said in a statement.

Fares reflect one-way prices. Here are some examples of flights from Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport:

• Starting at $49: Baltimore/Washington, MD
