In many parts of the United States, school started yesterday or today, signaling the end of summer and a great time to start thinking about vacationing over upcoming school breaks. An annual lull in bookings for airlines began over Labor Day weekend, making this week chock-full of incredible price drops and sales from top carriers. If you are looking to book a trip over Thanksgiving, today might be your best option.
Incredible Coast to Coast Fares
Fan favorite, Virgin America, launched a great one-day sale on Tuesday, and then decided to extend it until midnight tonight. Other carriers, including Delta and United have swooped in to beat or match Virgin America on many of these popular routes. The cross-country fares are some of the best we’ve seen in over a year and will be gone by midnight, so book ASAP.
