After months of sky-high airfares, some carriers are finally offering a break to customers. Timing is key. After all, we are slowly moving from the busy summer season to the less hectic fall travel period, which is why airfare sales are popping up with more frequency.
If you have been holding off on flying because your budget simply can’t take the hit, you will be pleased to know that help is in sight. Right now a number of airlines have slashed fares to as low as $66 one-way. Even flights to Canada and Mexico are reasonably priced. But as always the deals are being offered for a limited time so it’s best to book early.
