Domestic flights through early March are on sale from Delta. Fares start at $118 round-trip, and featured destinations include Las Vegas, New York, Cincinnati, and Salt Lake City.

Delta’s fares were the best available for four of the six routes I checked, though many major and low-fare carriers have similar fares. JetBlue beat Delta’s Chicago/Salt Lake City fare, and Northwest had a lower price for travel between Cincinnati and Las Vegas. Overall, this sale has competitive prices, but it’s still a good idea to compare fares before you book.

All vacations include round-trip airfare and a four-night stay at an Aruba hotel, except for the Liberty Travel offer, which includes five nights’ accommodations. With the exception of the Liberty Travel deal, which only includes hotel taxes, packages include additional taxes and fees for airfare and hotel.
