Call it a fluke or a mistake, but budget travelers should jump on a today-only opportunity from American Airlines. Travel for just $116.60 each way to the following cities:
- Boston
- Colorado Springs, Colo.
- Kansas City, Mo.
- Las Vegas
- Little Rock, Ark.

To qualify for this great bargain, give at least a one-week advance purchase notice. Sale rates are not valid for travel on Sundays.
All travel must be finished on or before June 22, 2013.
There are a number of restricted dates on which this offer is not valid: Aug. 5, 6, 12, 19, 31; Nov. 16, 17, 20, 21, 24-26; Dec. 19-23, 26, 28-30; Jan. 2, 5, 6.
American serves these destinations with one flight connection in either Chicago-O'Hare or Dallas-Fort Worth.
Since this deal has no ticket-by date, American Airlines can discontinue or pull this sale without notice or when the offer is deemed "sold out." 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 websites such as Expedia or Travelocity, etc.
