Update: I applied to Virgin for the status match and sent a scan of my companion pass card, and I received an email message today that it was approved. Elevate Gold (highest elite level) through June 30, 2013 (with extension challenge).

2-day sale on Virgin America for its new LUV field Dallas service. $79 to SFO, LAX, DCA, and LGA!!
Presumably Southwest will match these fares, but VX has a much nicer in-flight experience. For one thing, your knees fit.
Edited to add: Southwest has undercut the VX fares by several dollars over a longer time frame, starting September 9. Now that's what I like see in a fare war: calling and raising.

JetBlue has a 2-day sale today and tomorrow. No sign of a match by Southwest, but I expect to see that later today.

JetBlue has $49 fares LGB to SFO and OAK today and tomorrow:
http://www.jetblue.com/deals/get-the-fall-rolling/
Southwest has not matched. I doubt they will, given that this fare includes the $5.60 security fee.

Not a sale but instead a promo on VX. Marriott teaming up with VX to offer 10% off flights for travel 9/3/14 to 2/11/15 (Blackout dates apply). Maybe good to take a look if you are comparing WN & VX fares for any upcoming travel during this time. Hope this helps someone!
