UPDATES:
We're starting to see a few more sales on domestic flights, with SEVERAL routes from American in the mid-$200s roundtrip, and a few under $200.
Here are the recent updates on the best fares in the Central U.S. Region.
Prices are fluctuating some, dates are fluctuating - but some great deals are still alive.
Book fast if you find dates that work for you!
Good luck! As always, we hope you find a travel adventure in here somewhere.
*Plan for luggage fees when you travel with the discount carriers.
*Domestic Fares Notes: We often put fares in here from the “discount carriers:” JetBlue, Spirit, Allegiant, etc. We typically advise people to plan for luggage fees (if you don’t pack REALLY light), and try not to use these flights for critical trips (like family weddings). We’ve taken lots of successful flights with the discount carriers - and have had overwhelmingly good results. But, when a flight gets cancelled - you’re going to be waiting a full day or more for another one. That can be a deal breaker on a lot of trips.

Adventure Fares recommends starting your fare search with easy-to-use search engines (like Google Flights) to locate the flight you’re wanting, dates and details. Then, after finding the flight details, we recommend booking the actual flights direct with the airlines. We also sometimes use travel services like Momondo.com, expedia.com, travelocity.com - and others. Booking with airlines directly is typically preferable, especially when problems occur (such as flight changes, delays, booking problems, etc).
Emails get lost, deleted, dropped into the wrong folder sometimes. Any time you need to find the most recent Fare Alerts - this is where you'll need to check.
