A trio of discount airlines led by Southwest on Tuesday rolled out some of the lowest fares seen in years.

Southwest (LUV) is offering one-way fares of $30 on routes up to 400 miles, $60 on flights up to 750 miles and $90 on longer routes. The prices, which don't include taxes and fees, are good for travel between Sept. 9 and Nov. 18.

Discounters AirTran (AAI) and Frontier announced fares almost as low, and the rest of the USA's big airlines quickly matched the new fares.
