Holiday weekend airfare from $59

Celebrate the start of the summer season with a quickie getaway out of town this weekend and over the Memorial Day holiday.

One airline, American, stands alone in offering deep discounts to its four nonstop destination from Atlanta -- all cool cities for a hot holiday weekend.

One-way rates to Chicago-O'Hare are $59 and $69 to Dallas-Fort Worth on any available flight starting on or after Wednesday, May 25 and through midnight, Tuesday, May 31.

A round-trip ticket purchase is required to two other nonstop destinations -- $118 to Miami and $138 to New York City-LaGuardia.

Factor in about $10 in taxes and fees on one-way tickets; from $20 on round-trip purchases.

These sale rates do not have a ticket-by date. Act fast!

Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. I recommend starting the search for available seats at Kayak.com vs. calling the 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.
