Is a trip to Alaska on your Travel Bucket List? Get ready to make that destination a reality.
A spot sale from American Airlines offers one-way rates of $224 to Anchorage for trips finished on or before April 18, 2014.
To qualify, give at least a one-week advance notice of travel. There are no summer blackout dates to avoid, although you’ll need to be date-flexible when searching for available seats during the peak months of July and August.
This offer has no ticket-by date which indicates that the deal could vanish at anytime. Make haste with your ticket purchases.
American serves Anchorage with one flight connection in Dallas-Fort Worth.
To compliment the savings, consider the purchase of a Great Alaska TourSaver, a travel discount book with 130 buy-one-get-one Alaska travel deals for glacier cruises, train trips, lodging and more. Travelers save hundreds if not more than a thousand dollars with the TourSaver. Using just one or two coupons justifies the cost of the book.
Ride a luxury train to Denali National Park, take a Kenai Fjords glacier cruise, fly over Mt. McKinley, land on a glacier, watch eagles, moose and bears in the wild or go halibut fishing - all on a buy-one-get-one free basis.
There’s a 7-day money-back guarantee if you’re not satisfied with the many offerings.
The booklet retails for $99.95. For more detailed information, or to purchase TourSaver, visit www.toursaver.com.

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 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.”
