By plane across America for $ 30 and less
Low fuel prices and competition will allow attentive and inquisitive Americans to spend on flights a little more than on a taxi ride to the airport.
A large number of airlines offer ultra-low fares - in some cases up to $ 19. The main thing is to guess the time, plan the route and read everything written in small print.
A good example: quite recently, in early February, Frontier offered one-way flights between Chicago and Pittsburgh and between Las Vegas and Colorado Springs for the same $ 19, and between Atlanta and Pittsburgh and Atlanta and Washington DC for slightly less modest $ 29 that is still cheaper even spending the night in a mediocre motel! True, it was not without mass restrictions, including on the date for which such proposals were valid. And some flights were offered only to members who pay $ 49,99 per year.
At the same time, Spirit held a promotion with a discount in 30% for holders of a promotional code - some flights that already cost an attractive $ 49, came at a discount and were offered for $ 23. Again, this price did not take into account all sorts of exactions and margins for everything that is possible - from pads to a convenient place. An unexpected exception was the JetBlue promotion, which followed the example of competitors and offered tickets for flights to more than a dozen cities at $ 29, but including taxes and airport taxes.
About taxes, markups and restrictions
So far, none of the American low-cost airlines can afford stable low ticket prices, so when choosing and comparing attractive offers, pay attention to additional services that can easily increase the price of a ticket by several tens of dollars.
Despite all this, February is a wonderful month for those who need to travel as cheaply as possible. According to Hopper.com, this month the average price for a regular round-trip ticket is just $ 215. Less air transport cost only in January of this year - $ 210.
The main reasons for such a welcome phenomenon are the lowest fuel prices from 2004, high competition, as well as a change in the operating paradigm of airlines: they began to offer ultra-low base prices, gaining profit from fees for additional (previously standard) services.
