Virgin America has announced a new domestic deal with sale fares starting at $49 one-way or $98 round-trip. Destinations include Las Vegas, San Diego, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Virgin America’s sale fares were among the best available for travel on the San Francisco/San Diego, San Francisco/Las Vegas, and Seattle/San Francisco routes, although other airlines, including Alaska, American, United, and US Airways matched. However, I found lower fares for the remaining routes, from Virgin America itself and from Alaska, American, Northwest, Spirit, United, and US Airways. This deal is worth a look, but you should still compare fares before booking to ensure you get the best price.
