The prices and details in this post are only valid up to the latest update (see time-stamps above). Prices and availability can and will change eventually.
United has round-trip flights from Austin (AUS) to Miami (MIA) for $154, with a connection in Houston. Flights from August to December with Holiday blackouts. Fare is reversible. See the Flight Details section if this post for example dates.
Note: Philadelphia is on sale also. More details here: [Cheap Flights: Austin to/from Philadelphia $174 r/t – United].
To save the most money, be sure to make use of the travel coupon codes available at the bottom of this post. Booking your trip as Flight+Hotel package will probably save you more money than booking both separately.
Note: OTAs such as Orbitz and Priceline allow free cancellation before 10 PM CST the day after purchase. As deals sell-out or expire quickly, this policy allows you to “lock-in” the cheap fare while you sort out a plan. After the grace period, you will not be able to cancel without the regular penalty.
United, Delta, JetBlue and Virgin America offer free cancellation within the next 24-hours after purchase while American allows you to “Hold” a ticket for 24-hours. Keep in mind that once you pay for a ticket on AA.com you can’t cancel it without a change fee or penalty, even if was purchased less than 24-hours ago.
The Department of Transportation doesn’t enforce 24-hour free cancellation on tickets less than 7-days away from departure, so some airlines and OTAs will allow it while some will not. On Orbitz, you can easily see if your ticket allows a free cancellation, just look for “FREE Cancel” next to the price of the ticket.
I was able to pull this fare up on Priceline, and it should be available to most other booking sites such as Orbitz and Travelocity. (Example booking screenshot below)
