$70 to Boston

Round-trip airfares to Boston during non-sale periods are inching up to the $300-plus mark.  But the cost is slashed by USAirways in a one-day offer (Jan. 16) of $70 one-way to Beantown. 

The one-way bargain rate is, however, valid only on the following dates:

January 31
February 1-16, 19, 21-23, 25
March 1, 5-8, 12-16, 20-24, 26-29
April 2-4, 7, 8, 10-12, 17, 18, 21, 24, 25, 28
May 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 12, 15, 16, 19, 21-23

USAirways serves Boston with a flight connection in either Charlotte or Philadelphia.

One-way tickets, inclusive of all taxes and fees is $84.60.

Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate.  Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act swiftly to make your purchase. 

I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling an airline directly.  You can also search for the sale at travel Web sites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc.  Airlines can discontinue or pull a sale price without notice when the offer does not have a "ticket-by" date or when the offer is deemed "sold out."
