A hat trick of spectacular airfare bargains will put you on the finest ski slopes in the nation or to the sunny Atlantic beaches of Florida.

Travel one-way to Denver, Colo. at a rate of $110.80. This AirTran exclusive (no ticket-by date) is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. Give at least a one-week advance notice of travel. The final permitted day of travel is Sept. 28.

Another AirTran exclusive set to expire tonight at midnight is a one-way rate to Fort Lauderdale, Fla. of $61.80. Go as soon as this week as an advance purchase notice is not required. This low rate is valid only Mondays-Thursdays in each direction. All travel at this rate must be completed on or before March 22. This should be an easy deal to land as AirTran operates seven daily nonstop flights between Atlanta and Fort Lauderdale.

One-way rates of $138.60 to Salt Lake City, Utah require a two-week or more advance notice of travel. Trips are allowed any day of the week, based on sale seat availability. This United Airlines exclusive is valid on trips completed on or before Jan. 4, 2013. A nice plus: no blackout dates.  The catch?  This deal is expected to expire before the end of the day (no ticket-by date).  United serves Salt Lake City via its Denver hub.

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 does not have a "ticket-by" date or when the offer is deemed "sold out."
