Just plane crazy prices

There are still good value flights to be had, with a lot of major carriers continuing their offers until April, May or June, which is virtually unheard of.
According to a Chicago Herald Tribune report: A handful of major carriers and discount carriers have launched fare sales since Dec. 31. Others are expected to follow with sales of their own, or to at least match discounts offered by rivals on competitive routes.
Discount carrier AirTran Airways, a subsidiary of Orlando-based AirTran Holdings Inc, said Tuesday it was offering a nationwide sale with one-way fares starting as low as $39 and some good for travel through May 20.
"We are uncertain about the economy and we are trying to build business on the books for the winter and spring," AirTran spokesman Tad Hutcheson said.
Burlingame, Calif.-based Virgin America also announced a fare sale Tuesday for travel through June 10 to all of the cities the carrier serves. New York-based JetBlue Airways Corp. said it was offering a fare sale involving more than 40 destinations in the Northeast, Florida, California and the Caribbean. For most city pairs, travel must take place before April 1.
