Holiday season flights are on sale from Southwest. Fares start at $39 one-way or $78 round-trip, and destinations include Chicago, Las Vegas, and Denver.

Southwest’s sale fares were the best available for every route I checked, though the Chicago/Nashville, Dallas/San Antonio, and Los Angeles/Las Vegas fares were matched by other airlines. The lowest fares on some popular travel dates for certain routes are already sold out, but if you’re flexible with your dates, you will probably be able to snag a good deal.

American is offering sale fares to ski destinations around the U.S. Fares start at $256 round-trip, and destinations include Vail, Jackson Hole, and Steamboat Springs.

American’s sale fares were the best available for four of the seven routes I checked. I found lower prices from American itself for the Boston/Steamboat Springs, New York/Gunnison, and Washington/Jackson Hole routes. United also had better fares for the Boston and New York routes, and Northwest matched American’s lower Boston fare as well. You’ll likely find a competitive fare from American, but be sure you compare fares before you book to be certain you’re getting a good deal.

I found lower fares for each of the routes I checked, from airlines including American, Continental, United, US Airways, Avianca, Lacsa, Mexicana, Taca, and Delta itself. Since the travel period for this sale doesn’t begin until spring, be sure to track prices for several weeks (or months) to ensure you get the best price before you book.

Through Thursday, AirTran is offering sale fares starting at $39 one-way or $78 round-trip. Destinations include Los Angeles, New York, and Orlando.

AirTran’s sale is spotty. The best deals among those I checked were for the Atlanta/Los Angeles, Boston/Philadelphia, and New York/St. Louis routes, though Continental matched the Boston/Philadelphia fare. I found lower fares, however, for the other routes I checked. AirTran itself and US Airways offered lower prices for the Baltimore/Ft. Lauderdale route, while USA 3000 beat AirTran’s price for travel between Chicago and Orlando. Plus, Continental beat AirTran’s Dallas/New York fare.
