That’s right, we’re starting out with a big one. Up for auction are two, round-trip, Southwest Airline ticket vouchers. They can be used to fly anywhere Southwest Airlines flies in the Continental United States. There are no blackout dates on these vouchers, the only real restriction is that they must be used by June 30, 2013.
Special thanks to prize donor Southwest Airlines and DISDad James Goodman a/k/a @swabikedude on Twitter.
