Get ready to check off one of those bucket list destinations when you act on an amazing offer from USAirways to Alaska!

The airline has reduced the round-trip rate to just $380 for travel finished on or before Oct. 4, 2014.

Here’s how to land this deal: Give at least a 21-day advance purchase notice. This rate is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. Stay at least any three nights.

That’s it. There are no blackout dates - and there is no ticket-by date which means that this deal is fleeting and could vanish at any moment.

USAirways serves Anchorage with one stop service in Phoenix, Az.

Get going on this budget-friendly offer!

Once you are ticketed to the Great State, consider the purchase of an Alaska TourSaver - an easy-to-use coupon book to discover Alaska and save hundreds of dollars. The book is packed with numerous two-for-one offers, and deals on cruises, flightseeing, lodging, restaurants, and land/rail tours. The booklet retails for $99.95; http://www.toursaver.com. Wouldn't this airfare deal and the book make a perfect gift for your favorite traveler?

Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate. On some departures or days there may be few or no tickets available at the lowest price. Since only a limited supply of seats is available, act quickly 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 websites such as Expedia, Orbitz 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.”
