Flights to/from New York are on sale from Continental. Fares start at $150 round-trip.

Continental’s best deals among the routes I checked were the Daytona Beach and Bermuda routes. US Airways had lower fares for the Boston and Columbus routes, American beat Continental’s fare for the Houston route, and I found a lower fare for the Cleveland route from Continental itself. Since Continental has not listed travel date information, these fares could be competitive for your itinerary, however, so shop around and consider all your options before booking.

Through Monday, ATA is offering a domestic sale featuring New York and Washington, D.C. Fares start at $59 one-way or $118 round-trip.

ATA’s sale prices were the best available for most of the routes I checked. The only exception was the Nashville/New York route, in which United and US Airways both offered lower fares. This sale includes some competitive prices, but you should still compare fares before you book to ensure you get the best deal possible.
