Looking for a winter escape? JetBlue and Southwest have you covered, with fares as low as $44 one-way.

The great part about these low fares is that they're not super restrictive. Southwest is particularly flexible, allowing all passengers a free carry-on, two free checked bags and fee-free cancellations. JetBlue allows each passenger a free personal item and carry-on, though it does charge a fee for cancellations on Blue Basic and Blue reservations.

This sale is available on various U.S. routes, so head to each airline's respective website to check which routes are available from your airport.
