So I arrive at work on a Tuesday afternoon after a hectic weekend, where Billy’s opened on a rare Sunday afternoon to host a Red bull function which featured an awesome South African duo called Goldfish, to the news that i was going diving with sharks the following Saturday! What, where and how??? Apparently there was an incentive for us waitresses… whoever sold the most Vodka Red bulls would win a shark dive… oh cool!

American’s latest offer competes with a similar deal from Southwest. Fares start at $98 round-trip, and destinations include Las Vegas, Denver, and Washington, D.C.

The best deals I found were for the Baltimore/New Orleans and Chicago/Indianapolis routes, though Southwest has the same price for the former, while Northwest and United matched American’s fare for the latter. Other airlines, including Continental, Frontier, Northwest, Southwest, United, US Airways, and American itself, beat the sale fares for the remaining routes. American may have a competitive fare for your route, but you’ll have to compare fares with several carriers to be sure.
