DOMESTIC FARE ALERT!
THE BEST DOMESTIC FARES WE'RE SEEING THIS WEEKEND (AIRPORTS AROUND OUR AREA)
Like everybody else, we're seeing price increases across the board on domestic and international flights. However, in tracking sales, we're predicting a big sale in the coming days on international - especially Europe - flights for fall. Keep your eyes open for emails the next few days. When it hits, things will happen fast!
This is a list of the best current fares from a few of our airports this week. Some are from the big carriers, most from discount airlines this week. Most dates available are in the next two months (select). Almost all discounted flights are non-stop!
*Domestic Fares Notes: We sometimes 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.

BOOKING FLIGHTS: 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 usually 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 seems to be preferable, especially when problems occur (such as flight changes, delays, booking problems, etc).
