Take advantage of great savings with a pair of airfare sales to many western destinations, including one of America's favorite cities -- San Francisco.
Through midnight, Thursday (3/17), AirTran's sale prices San Francisco at $149 each way for travel during the month of April. The deal is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. Delta Air Lines matches this sale rate on round-trip tickets and a Saturday night minimum stay. All other carriers match the one-way rate with connecting flight service.
Frontier Airlines is running another sale to the West with one-way rates to San Francisco priced at $154 on trips completed on or before May 18. This rate, valid Mondays-Thursdays, requires a ten-day advance purchase notice. Rates on other days start from $189. Buy tickets through March 24.
