United has announced a new domestic deal for travel from late June through early July. Fares start at $228 round-trip, and cities include Kahului, Las Vegas, New York, and San Francisco.

Northwest topped United for the New York/Los Angeles and Washington, D.C./Las Vegas routes; Alaska offered lower Los Angeles/Reno and Chicago/Kahului fares; and Virgin America beat United’s San Francisco/New York fare. Alaska and Virgin America both offered better prices for travel between Seattle and San Francisco. Skip this offer and shop around before you book.

Flights to Daytona Beach are on sale from US Airways. Fares start at $218 round-trip, and departures are available from Chicago, New York, Pittsburgh, and more.

US Airways offered the best prices for five of the six routes I checked, but only the New York fare was actually well-priced in this offer.
