We're seeing some big price drops on cross-country flights today. Fly on "full-service" airlines like American, Delta, and United, from coast-to-coast for as little as $164 roundtrip.

These excellent fares aren't limited to major airports. We're seeing some especially great deals flying between secondary cities on both coasts. Flying from Sacramento to West Palm Beach may be quicker and cheaper overall than a flight from San Fran to Miami depending on exactly where you'd like to end up and/or your home location.

Other airlines like JetBlueSouthwest, or Alaska Airlines may be competing with the Big 3 on some routes so make sure to compare to find the best deal.
