The Deal

It's no newsflash that flying got a lot more expensive this year. But several good fare sales on now will stretch your travel budget further than you might have expected. You'll certainly save the most by staying local – and booking AirTran's fare sale from $66 each-way – but neighboring Canada and Mexico are also affordable, from $256 round-trip, and new sales to South America will get you to Brazil and Argentina from just $440 one-way.

Sweeping air sale to popular US cities through Nov from $66 one-way
AirTran Airways has just announced a major fare sale, slashing prices on travel to dozens of US cities to as low as $66 one-way, when booking through Travelocity. Jet off to San Francisco, New York, Boston, Miami, and many more top destinations for travel during the peak summer travel period and well into fall (through November 12). This sale requires a 14-day advance purchase and expires on July 29.

Labor Day flights across the US, Mexico & Canada from $115 round-trip
Plan to make the last hurrah of summer one to remember with these specially discounted airfares for travel over Labor Day’s long holiday weekend on Orbitz. Look for round-trip flight deals like: Houston-Austin $115; Denver–Cancun $334; Orlando-Detroit $230; Seattle–Vancouver $256; and more. Best of all, these fares are inclusive of all taxes and fees, so the price you see is the price you pay. Just be sure to book fast – the best deals for this popular travel weekend will sell out fast.

Los Cabos flights on US Airways from $328 round-trip
US Airways has just posted a blowout sale on fares to sunny Los Cabos from $348 round-trip. Look for round-trip fares via Sacramento ($328), Las Vegas ($356), Portland ($366), and more. No expiry date has been posted for this promotion, so it could disappear at any time.

Fall flights to Rio de Janeiro on United from $440 one-way
United has just announced special savings on airfare to Rio, with low rates available for travel from Boston, New York, San Francisco, and more from just $440 one-way. Sale fares are valid for travel September 2 through November 17, 2008; this deal expires July 28.
