We all follow those people on Instagram who are somehow always on vacation. We don't know their life story, but we'd be willing to bet they didn't pay full price for that excursion — they just planned strategically. We're keeping track of the best flight, train, luggage, and hotel deals below to help you do the same. Now get outta here.

Booking a spring or fall trip with Southwest could save you a big chunk of money. Tons of one-way fares are currently sitting below $59, and if you're lucky, you might just be able to schedule the trip there and back through the promotion. The deal ends on April 20, so solidify those plans quickly.
