Biloxi’s back in play at $69 O/W
Friday, July 10, 2009
You can get back to Mississippi’s lovely Gulf Coast region on a budget once again with new, non-stop flight service from Atlanta.
Since AirTran eliminated its non-stop flights to Gulfport-Biloxi back in January, Delta saw a chance to increase airfares considerably. For instance, today Delta’s lowest one-way rate is $289. Yes, the carrier does have a round-trip rate of $218, but it requires a 21-day advance notice of travel and a weekend stay.
