Nonstop Flights: Dallas to/from Fort Lauderdale / Miami $107 r/t – American

[06/03/2015 @ 1:45 PM] Open this itinerary here: Priceline, Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, CheapTickets, Hotwire, BookingBuddy.
[10/28/2015 @ 2:27 PM] Price drop. New lowest price.

The prices and details in this post are accurate only up to the point of the last update to this post. If this post is several days old, then there is a good chance that prices and availability will have changed. This is one of AA’s sales where they like to remove it and re-add it every couple of days. If it’s not available today, try again tomorrow. Expect prices to fluctuate in a range of +/- $20 from today’s price.

American Airlines has round-trip flights from Dallas (DFW) to Miami (MIA) or Fort Lauderdale (FLL) starting at $107, NONSTOP. Fare is reversible. Cheapest flights are on TUE/WED/SAT from November to January. More availability on other days of the week for +$30. See the Flight Details section of this post for example booking dates.

Note: You may want to book this as two separate one-ways, it will cost around $100 total to get there and back, but it has better availability than the round-trip fares. Fort Lauderdale is also very close to Miami, and if you’re renting a car, it may make more sense to fly in/out of Fort Lauderdale rather than Miami if the discount fare isn’t available on the dates you want.

Orbitz has 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.

To save the most money, be sure to make use of the travel coupon codes available at the bottom of this post. Booking your trip as a Flight + Hotel package will probably save you more money than if you were to book separately. Packages on most OTAs such as Travelocity and Priceline tend to be cheaper than what the airlines usually offer, so be sure to compare the costs on several sites before committing.

Note: OTAs such as Orbitz and Priceline allow free cancellation before 10 PM CST the day after purchase. As deals sell-out or expire quickly, this policy allows you to “lock-in” the cheap fare while you sort out a plan. After the grace period, you will not be able to cancel without the regular penalty.

United, Delta, JetBlue and Virgin America offer free cancellation within the next 24-hours while American allows you to “Hold” a ticket for 24-hours. Keep in mind that once you pay for a ticket on AA.com you can’t cancel it without a change fee or penalty, even if it was purchased less than 24-hours ago.

Note that the DOT doesn’t enforce 24-hour free cancellation on tickets less than 7-days away from departure, so some airlines and OTAs allow it while some do not. On Orbitz, you can easily see if your ticket allows a free cancellation, just look for “FREE Cancel” next to the price of the ticket.
