Have you made plans to celebrate the long Memorial Day weekend? Kick off the start of summer with a getaway and at discounted airfare rates introduced by Delta Air Lines. Most other carriers are already matching the new sale.
The round-trip rates have not been cut substantially, but the sale does provide the opportunity to save to destinations that are rarely offered at a discount price.
On the plus side, the rules are simple. Trips can be taken any day starting on Thursday, May 26. Trips must be finished on or before Tuesday, May 31.
Here are some sample round-trip rates (factor in about $40 for extra taxes and fees):
- $202 Washington, D.C.
- $232 Cincinnati
- $262 Bangor, Maine
- $270 Des Moines, Iowa
- $277 Louisville, Ky.
- $286 Colorado Springs
- $288 Lubbock, Texas
- $290 Knoxville, Tenn.
- $291 Palm Springs, Calif.
- $296 Rapid City, S.D.
- $317 Little Rock, Ark.
- $322 Traverse City, Mich.
- $323 Oklahoma City, Okla.
- $328 Redmond-Bend, Ore.
- $360 San Diego
- $416 Portland, Ore.
Buy tickets through midnight, Monday, May 16.
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.
