To those of you who follow this blog, this will be old news. Chicago flight prices have been under $100 since last year. This post is both an update and a notification on this route.

United has round-trip flights from Dallas (DFW) to Chicago (ORD) for $71, NONSTOP. $35 each way. Cheapest flights TUE/WED/SAT from April to June. Fare is reversible. Holiday Blackouts apply. Southwest is also matching this price.

  • Note: This sale often gets matched by the other major airlines, sometimes for a cheaper price. Before you finalize your purchase, you may want to check your dates on BookingBuddy to see if any of the other airlines are offering a better deal.

If you plan on booking a hotel, use our travel coupon codes to save up to 15% to 20% off. Alternatively, you may be able to save the most money by booking your trip as a Flight + Hotel package on Priceline, Orbitz, or Travelocity.

If you want to see other deals that are still bookable you should check out the “Bookable Deals” page on our site. It filters out deals that have expired, or have low availability.

Orbitz and CheapTickets have a search tool that looks for flights 3-days before and after the dates you’ve selected, you should use it if you have a general idea of when you want to travel, but want to see other prices for other dates close to the ones you’ve selected.

Note: OTAs such as Orbitz, Travelocity and Priceline allow free cancellation without penalty before 10 PM central time the day after you purchase. As deals sell-out or expire quickly, this policy will allow you to “lock-in” the cheap fare while you sort out a plan. Just keep in mind that after 10 PM the next day, you will not be able to cancel without the regular penalty. On Travelocity, you can easily see if your ticket allows a free cancellation, just look for “Free Cancellation within 24 hours” next to the checkout button.

Most airlines also offer 24-hour free cancellation with varying policies. For example American Airlines allows you to “Hold” a ticket before payment for 24-hours but once you pay for it you can’t cancel without a change fee or penalty, even if it was purchased less than 24-hours ago.
