• $314 R/T Sale Fares to Canada From United*
  United's latest sale features travel to cities in Canada like Montreal, Calgary, Vancouver, Halifax, and others. However, carriers like US Airways, Delta, and Northwest, among others, offer significant savings over United's prices.
• $49 O/W Domestic Sale Fares on Frontier*
  Frontier's latest promotion, a match of Southwest's sale, offers travel through spring. The lowest fares are often matched or beaten by Continental, Delta, Northwest, and Southwest. In some cases, the competition offers $84 in savings.
• $116 R/T American Sale Matches Southwest, United, and Others*
  Why does American's latest sale look so familiar? Because it's nearly identical to competing promotions from Southwest, United, and Frontier. Add it all up and you've got a major fare war. And that's a huge win for bargain hunters.
