Airfare to a trio of the nation’s most popular vacation destinations are priced surprisingly low. Perhaps you can squeeze in a getaway before the year end, or plan one now for 2013. And there might not be a better time than now to buy a second ticket as a holiday gift for your favorite traveling companion.
- Denver, Colorado: Frontier Airlines offers a walk-up rate of $103.80 one-way (no advance purchase required). This rate is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability, on trips completed on or before March 6, 2013. The low rate is also valid on trips started on or after April 8 and through May 15, 2013. The big bonus feature of this deal — no blackout dates. Frontier serves Denver from Atlanta with two daily nonstop flights. Plan a ski trip to the Rockies!
- San Francisco, California: AirTran offers nonstop service to San Francisco at one-way rates of $109.80. Trips at this rate are permitted seven days a week (based on sale seat availability) through May 30, 2013. To qualify, give at least a one-week advance notice of travel. Several blackout dates apply: March 7-11, 14-18, 21-25; March 28-April 1; April 4-8, 12-14, 19-21; May 23, 24, 27, 2013.
- New York City-LaGuardia: One-way rates to the Big Apple of $126.80 require a 21-day or more advance notice of travel. This sale rate is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. There are no blackout dates to avoid. The last permitted day of travel at this rate is May 30, 2013 with AirTran and Oct. 2, 2013 with American Airlines or Delta Air Lines. All three carriers offer frequent daily nonstop flights from Atlanta.
These three airfare offers do not have a ticket-by date which indicates that they may vanish at anytime. Act quickly to make your purchase.
Sale airfares are always subject to change. Every seat on every flight is not offered at the lowest rate.
