BUDGET TRAVELER

For the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 06/18/08

With typical domestic airfares hovering at $300 to $500 minimums, every AirTran sale becomes more and more important for budget seekers. AirTran's latest sale will last through midnight, July 1 and brings great low, one-way rates valid on trips taken through November 5.

The one caveat of the sale is that the lowest rates, the ones shown here, are valid only on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. But there's good news with this latest sale! Decent discounts are also available for travel on the most popular days of the week — Fridays and Sundays.
