[07/22/2015 @ 9:09 AM] PDX and PHL have very little availability left. Updated example dates.
[07/23/2015 @ 10:29 AM] Most Saturday departures are gone. Flights are mostly on TUE/WED now.
[07/30/2015 @ 12:23 PM] This is an old post. Most of these fares are now featured in their own post. Removing from deal list.
American Airlines has put round-trip flights from Dallas (DFW) to a lot of major cities (see list below) on sale for $125, NONSTOP. Cheapest flights on TUE-WED+SAT, with FRI costing about +$20 more, August to November. Slightly higher priced flights of $157 are available on most days of the week until mid-2016 (for some destinations). Holiday blackouts apply. No New Years, Christmas or Thanksgiving.
Example calendar will be using New York as the destination, but all other destinations seem to share similar dates.
List of participating destinations:
- $125-$157 New York (LGA)
- $125-$157 Washington (BWI)
- $125-$157 Portland (PDX) – Limited availability TUE-WED+SAT Oct-Nov. Lots of availability if you stay 14-days TUE/WED.
- $125-$157 San Diego (SAN) – Low availability, but UA is matching with-stops.
- $125-$157 Los Angeles (LAX)
- $125-$157 Detroit (DTW) – Cheapest flights only on TUE-WED Aug-Nov.
$125-$157 Philadelphia (PHL)– Basically sold out. Hardly any days left.
Other sales worth mentioning:
- [Nonstop Flights: Dallas to/from Fort Lauderdale / Miami / Orlando $107 r/t – American]
- [Nonstop Flights: Dallas to/from Boston $127 r/t – JetBlue / AA / UA]
- [Nonstop Flights: Dallas to/from Tampa, FL $97 r/t – American]
I was able to pull up most of these fares on Priceline, and they should be available on other major OTAs. (Example screenshot below).
To save the most money, be sure to make use of the travel coupon codes available at the bottom of this post.
Note: OTAs such as Orbitz 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 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.
