    $100 Cross-country Airfares are Back

    Filed under: Airfare Sales, Holiday Travel — Rick Seaney @ 6:10 pm

    Update: Delta Jumped in Yesterday (while some others sales are expiring, but I look for them torevive them with shorter advance purchase)

    I bought my Thanksgiving tickets back in June, because I expected oil to be at $200 a barrel by now - the possibility of cheap flights for the holidays never crossed my mind.

    And believe me, I never would have believed cross-counry flights for about $100 one-way would be available as late as Nov. 11th!

    Things got off to a rousing start this morning, with Southwest’s 3-day winter sale - and take a look at these other holiday sales:

    I did some analysis of Southwest’s winter sale, and saw extensive matching by legacy airlines, including the following:

    • American, Dallas/Ft. Worth - matched on 57 routes
    • Continental, Houston - matched on 56 routes
    • United, Denver - matched on 42 routes

    Earlier this year, I heard about some travelers who’d started doing the math - on flying vs. driving. If they (or you) opted to hit the road - take another look at the airfares. You may be in for a terrific surprise.

    1. Hi Rick,
      The $100 fares include Hawaii this time. We just added United to that list today. This is the best price we’ve seen in years. http://beatofhawaii.com/lax-to-honolulu-223-rt-all-inclusive-and-more-deals/

      Aloha, Jeff
