If you’re like me, sometimes you just want to get away. The “Where” isn’t super important — as long as there’s a deal to be had. With the USA Today reporting that summer airfare is on the rise and likely to go up further, it’s important now more than ever to have the most possible information available to you to make an informed decision about travel. While Fly.com’s Fare Experts have recognized the rise, we have still managed to sift through the lackluster airline sales and unadvertised price drops to find some of the best fares around.
Just this past week, we uncovered:
- $154-$156 — St. Louis to Orlando (Roundtrip incl. tax) (Usually well over $200!)
- 3 Roundtrip flights for under $130 (plus, great Orlando fares)
- $355 — Washington, D.C. to Lima, Peru (Roundtrip incl. tax) (Next best fare in the market is $900!)
For more of the same high-quality flight deals and easy-to-use Low Fare Calendars, I put together a list of four different ways to stay in the know using Fly.com and other tools.
1. Follow @Fly_com and Your City’s Fare Alert Feed on Twitter

3. Sign up for Travelzoo Top 20 and Newsflash
Our parent company Travelzoo got into the travel business more than a decade ago. Their tireless pursuit of the ultimate travel bargain has made them one of the most-trusted deal publishers on the planet. Each Wednesday they send out a Top 20 deals newsletter with hand-picked offers to more than 25 million subscribers worldwide. The discounts don’t only come on Wednesday, though. The deal experts will publish a Newsflash email alert any time an offer is worthy enough to interrupt your busy day (like the $150 fare from NYC to Sweden I booked last year!). Fly.com is featured in both email products, but only the best of the best make it, so pay close attention.
It is FREE to subscribe and most deals are exclusively available for those who sign up.
