Southwest Airlines is offering NONSTOP flights from Dallas (DAL) to Chicago (MDW) for $82 round-trip ($41 each way). Flights are available midweek, May to June. Fare is reversible.

This fare is often matched by United and American via DFW and ORD. As of the time of this writing, United is matching this sale.

This is one of the longest running deals due to the added competition coming from Southwest since the lifting of the Wright Amendment last year. This deal has been around forever now and the price has fluctuated from the $80 to $115.
