Are you and your squeeze planning a honeymoon or a romantic getaway? Maybe you know of a couple getting ready to fly off to a gorgeous Caribbean island? If so, share with them the news of an outstanding airfare offer from American Airlines.
Here's the deal...
Travelers can fly to Bridgetown, Barbados at a base round-trip rate of $298 on trips finished on or before Feb. 15, 2012.
There are not many rules to follow other than giving at least a three day advance notice of travel. Trips are permitted seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. Travelers must stay at least any two nights. There is no maximum stay limit.
There are some year-end blackout dates to avoid: Dec. 15-24, 26-30 on southbound flights and Dec. 26-31 and Jan. 1-8 northbound.
Total ticket rates are $485.10, inclusive of all taxes, fees and surcharges. Round-trip rates during the high season (June-Sept.) to Barbados are typically $705.10!
American Airlines serves Barbados via its Miami hub.
Now for the not-so-good news: This sale rate has no ticket-by date which means it can expire at any time. Act immediately on this offer.

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 Web sites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc. Airlines can discontinue or pull a sale price without notice when the offer is deemed "sold out,"or when that rate does not have a "ticket-by"date.
