Cheap Flights: Austin to Berlin $626 r/t – British Airways

British Airways and Oneworld partners have “Basic Economy” round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Berlin (TXL) starting at $626 with a connection. Flights are sparse from February to March. Expect prices to fluctuate by about +/- $20. “Regular Economy” is available for $55 more each-way.

Note: Carry-on bags are free in “Basic” International, but expect to pay about +$60 each-way to check a bag. If you’re planning to check a bag, it’s may be cheaper to upgrade into “Regular Economy”.

Note: This looks like an old fare bucket that was created last September. When we originally covered it, the price was $595 and the date range was from November to March. These seem to just be the few dates that are left.

Nonstop Flights: Austin to/from Chicago $103 r/t – Spirit Airlines

Spirit has round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Chicago (ORD) for $103, NONSTOP $52 each-way. Flights from mid-February to the first week of March. Departures on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Returns on any day except Friday or Saturday. Origin/Destination reversible.

Note: Spirit fares do not include a free carry-on bag. Only a small personal item, like a Jansport City Scout backpack is free. Checked bags cost +$30 each-way. You can avoid paying for seat selection if you accept the randomly assigned seat prior to boarding.

I’m currently using the Jansport Right Pack as my “personal item” when I fly Frontier. Which is slightly more than expensive than the Jansport City Scout because its fabric is Cordura instead of Polyester. Both have the same dimensions which are: 18″ x 13″ x 8.5″. There is half-an-inch of extra depth than what is officially allowed by Frontier, but it has never been a problem for me. The bag has a large main compartment, which makes it ideal for stuffing as much as you can into the limited amount of space.

Glitch Fare: Austin to Sao Paulo $475-$550 r/t – United / American Airlines

Update: We’re starting to see this fare show up on SkyScanner and Momondo, so there’s a good chance it’s not a glitch. Be careful about booking on sites that don’t offer a 24-hour free cancellation period. A lot of the sites on SkyScanner and Momondo don’t seem to follow the Department of Transporation guidelines on that matter.

United and American Airlines have flights on CheapOAir from Austin (AUS) to Sao Paulo, Brazil (SAO) for $475-$550 with a connection. Flights February until at least May.

Note: This doesn’t seem to price correctly on Google Flights but it does show up on the calendar. It will switch to $1320 on Google when you try to book it though.

Note: The last time we saw Sao Paulo for this price was on October 22, 2015.
Note: You should wait for your full confirmation code from the airline and also wait a full week after that before making any solid hotel accommodations. In short, make sure the airline has you in their system. A confirmation from CheapOAir is not good enough, you need the airline to provide a PNR, (the six character identifier that looks like this “TBQXYZ”). It may take about 8-hours for that to show up after booking. But if it takes longer, then there is probably a good chance that the ticket will not be honored, and your money will be refunded.

Cheap Flights: Austin to/from San Francisco $134 r/t – American Airlines

American Airlines has round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to San Francisco (SFO) for $134 with a connection. $67 each-way. Flights January to November. Weekends available. Origin/Destination reversible. Holiday Blackouts apply.

Note: This deal has lots of (FRI-SUN/MON) weekend availability, but it requires a stop. A fair trade in our opinion. Monday returns have better flight times.

Note: Carry-on bag is allowed for free, but seat selection has a fee. Upgrades into “Regular Economy” are available for +$30 each-way. You can avoid paying seat fees with the American Airlines credit-card perk, or by not selecting a seat and being randomly assigned your seat at the gate.
