Great Airfare Deals on Hundreds of Routes!
If you are looking to travel in the coming months, today is a great day to book!  Southwest just announced they are putting more than 70 cities and 1,300 routes on sale for three days, starting today. Of course, not to be outdone, United, American, Continental and several other carriers have all matched the sale with almost identical promotions of their own (some even lower).

Fares are starting at $49 one-way and rates are valid for travel until June 7th. When comparing airlines, be sure to compare relevant fees to make sure you are getting the best deal (see price comparison tip below).

Note: To get the special pricing, you will need to book by
Thursday, March 31, 2011 for  flights through June 7th.

How: Go to American‘s, Southwest‘s, and United’s sale and
    compare prices for the destination and dates of interest. Seats
    and availability are limited, so being flexible with your travel
    dates and times will likely help you find the lowest fares as you
   comparison shop.
When: Special fares are good for travel through June 7, 2011 with
    black out dates of April 21, 25 / May 26, 30, 31. You must book
    by Thursday, March 31, 2011 to get the special fare. Book as soon
    as possible for best travel dates and options.
Price comparison tip:  When comparing different carriers, be sure
    to add in relevant fees when trying to get the lowest overall cost. 
    Airline fees like checked baggage and food can quickly add-up if you
    aren’t careful! Download the FREE & handy  Ultimate Guide to
    Airline Fees  from Smarter Travel which quickly compares
   the various added fees of most U.S. carriers.
