Today's top travel deal is short and very sweet.
A one-way airfare of $79 to Salt Lake City, Utah is up for grabs on trips taken as soon as next week and through Feb. 22, 2012.
So take a quick break today to book this great offer for your summer vacations (Zion & Bryce Canyon National Parks are a 4.5 hour drive from SLC); colorful autumn getaways to Grand Teton National Park (5.5 hour drive) or Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's on the slopes of a dozen north Utah ski resorts -- seven are less than an hour from the Salt Lake City International Airport.
To qualify for the $79 rate, give at least a one week advance notice of travel. This low rate is valid seven days a week, based on sale seat availability. There are no blackout dates to avoid.
Continental serves Salt Lake City via its Houston hub.
This special rate has no ticket-by date. Act fast as it is bound to vanish before the end of the day.
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.
