Nonstop Flights: Austin to Cincinnati $137 r/t – Delta

Delta has round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Cincinnati (CVG) for $137, NONSTOP. A few weekend flights mid-February to mid-March and mid-week flights from April to May.

Note: Fare allows for a free carry-on bag, seat is randomly assigned for free after check-in. Upgrades into “Regular Economy” are available for +30 each-way.

Note: Allegiant has $84 flights with inferior, fee-encumbered fares that charge a $40 fee for carry-on bags, and additional fees for anything else. These will not be worthwhile due to their low service quality ratings.

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.

Cheap Flights: Austin to/from Calgary or Vancouver $266-$273 r/t – Air Canada / American / Delta / United

United, Delta, AA, and Air Canada, have round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Calgary or Vancouver (YYC/YVR) starting at $266 with a connection. Flights mid-January to June. A few weekends available. Origin/Destination reversible.

Note: Carry-on bag is allowed for free on all carriers. Seat selection is free on Star Alliance and Oneworld carriers, but has a fee on SkyTeam.

Note: Carrier availability will depend on the dates you select.

Note: Frontier may offer fares for a little cheaper, but those will be more expensive if you plan on taking a carry-on bag, eating, drinking, or picking a seat, due to their excessive fee structure. We avoid covering Frontier deals unless they are low enough to offset the cost of their fees, and their lack of flights per day.
