Flights to and from Chicago are on sale from American. Fares start at $80 round-trip for travel through early June.
American’s sale prices were the best available for two of the six routes I checked, including Boston and Toronto. AirTran and US Airways matched the former, while Northwest and US Airways matched the latter.

Northwest has announced a new domestic sale for travel through late August. Prices start at $358 round-trip, and New Orleans, Tampa, and Washington, D.C., are included.
This sale is spotty, as Northwest’s prices were among the best available for two routes and were beaten by three. The Fayetteville/Tampa and Wichita/Birmingham prices were competitive, but American, United, and US Airways matched the latter. AirTran topped Northwest for travel between Kansas City and Detroit, Continental offered a lower Lexington/New Orleans fare, and Frontier beat the sale fare for the Oklahoma City/Washington, D.C., route. Northwest’s offer is worth considering, but you’ll have to compare fares before booking to ensure you get the best deal for your route.

Not You Again!
Some things change, and some things don’t. Robert Mugabe, after almost five weeks of political hiatus, remains in power, while galloping inflation – touted now at about 200 000% – necessitated the issue of another new banknote, the third issue in a year. This time it was a Z$500 million bill, up 400 million from the last. Currently the rate of exchange is Z$52 million to £1 sterling. A letter I recently received from a friend in Harare told me that a brief trip to the supermarket to purchase 2 onions, 4 bread rolls, 1 packet of coffee, 2 litres of milk and a cucumber came to a total of Z$1.25 billion, which would have been Z$1.25 trillion had the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe not recently removed several zeros from the local currency. You may ask me how does a man who presides over such unimaginable economic lunacy survive in power, and the truth is I haven’t got a clue.
