A winter escape to Hawaii, Florida, and other warm-weather destinations might be more affordable than you think right now, thanks to American Airlines' latest flight deals.
“Ring in the new year with winter flights from $99 one way,” the airline shared about the sale in a promotional email. “Whether you want to explore a bustling city, take in the stunning views of the countryside, or lounge by the beach in Florida, we've got you covered.”
The sale offers discounted flights while supplies last, valid for travel between January 7 and March 5, 2025, excluding blackout dates on February 13, 14, and 17. No promo code is needed, but travelers must book at least seven days in advance to find these promotional fares.
While the airline advertises fares starting at $99, including government taxes and fees, Travel + Leisure uncovered several deals this winter for even less. Here’s a look at some of the best one-way tickets we found:
- Dallas (DFW) to/from Austin (AUS): $69
- Newark (EWR) to/from Fort Lauderdale (FLL): $74
- Seattle (SEA) to/from Las Vegas (LAS): $74
- Miami (MIA) to/from New Orleans (MSY): $95
- Denver (DEN) to/from Kauai (LIH): $158
- Boston (BOS) to/from Key West (EYW): $99
- Portland (PDX) to/from Honolulu (HNL): $108
- Denver (DEN) to/from Kauai (LIH): $158
These flights are available in American’s basic economy class, which allows for a personal item and carry-on bag. However, there are additional surcharges for choosing a seat assignment and modifying reservations.
However, basic economy passengers are some of the last to board flights, and the airline is piloting a system to ensure they board in the correct group. At airports like Albuquerque, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C., those attempting to board too early will hear an alert when scanning their boarding pass.
