This sale is about on par with what we’ve seen in the past. There are a lot of crappy $15/$20 discounts in the list, so we’re focusing on the discounts that are greater than $25. They’re at the top of the list with a star. Watch out for websites and blogs that are pairing this deal with one-way Spirit/Frontier trash fares for click-bait titles like “Free flights”. In all of those cases you’re just saving “$x” from the coupon on a one-way flight you’ll want to avoid. You can usually get a better value by using the discount on an airline that doesn’t charge fees for bag or seat selection.
Anyways, the full list is on our website, expect it to fluctuate with with new additions and some deletions in the next few days before the sale ends.
