Flights between cities in the Western U.S. and Seattle are on sale from Alaska. Fares start at $69 one-way or $138 round-trip for travel through the end of October.
Alaska’s sale prices were among the best available for the Los Angeles and San Francisco routes, although United, Virgin America, and US Airways matched the former, and United and Virgin America matched the latter. US Airways beat Alaska’s Palm Springs and Tucson fares, Virgin America topped Alaska for travel on the Las Vegas and San Diego routes, and JetBlue also had a lower Las Vegas fare. Since Alaska is facing competition for every route, you should shop around before booking to ensure you get the best price.

Summer and fall flights from New York to Europe are on sale from Delta. Fares start at $858 round-trip, and cities include London, Paris, Rome, and Bucharest.
Delta’s deal is worth considering, particularly for travel to destinations in Eastern Europe such as Bucharest or Romania. Note that Delta’s recently announced fee for a second checked bag does not apply to flights to Europe so you can still check two bags free of charge. A third bag, however, costs $150.

San Antonio is featured in US Airways’ latest offer. Fares start at $158 round-trip, and departures are available from Detroit, New York, Tampa, and more.
Although US Airways’ fares were competitive for every route I checked, other airlines, including AirTran, American, Midwest, Northwest, and United, matched many of the sale prices. Consider this deal but be sure to do a quick fare comparison before you book.

JetBlue is offering 10 percent off one-way flights from early September through October. The discount can be combined for 20 percent off for round-trip itineraries.
This discount is worth investigating if you’re planning to fly this fall. Don’t be seduced by the idea of 10 to 20 percent off and book a flight with JetBlue before comparing fares from other airlines as well. After all, a 10 percent discount won’t make up for a much cheaper fare offered by another airline.
