Florida Flights Earn Double Southwest Points

Double frequent flyer credits for Florida flights during the year's coldest months? Improbable. You'd expect those flights to be full of shivering sun-seekers from colder parts of the country, with no extra incentive required.

But

Southwest

is indeed offering members of its Rapid Rewards program double credits for flights to or from

Ft. Lauderdale

,

Ft. Myers/Naples

,

Jacksonville

,

Orlando

,

Tampa Bay

, and

West Palm Beach

between January 4 and March 9, 2010.

To earn the bonus credits, registration is required, and must be completed by January 31, 2010. So even if you don't plan to travel until February or early March, be sure to take a moment to register before the deadline.

Potentially making a good deal even better, Southwest has an

airfare sale

in place for many flights booked by January 4, 2010, and completed by early March.

Summery weather, low fares, and bonus frequent flyer points … what are you waiting for, free sunscreen?
