Denver - Spokane $29 Roundtrip for Fall Travel
Get spooky in Spokane on Halloween with this ultra-low fare on Frontier. Fly on a few scattered Tuesdays and Thursdays through mid-November, nonstop, from Denver to Spokane for just $29 roundtrip. This price drop is part of Frontier's latest penny fare sale and is the lowest price you'll ever see for a domestic flight. I found a flight departing Denver DEN on Halloween, Thursday, October 31, returning from Spokane GEG on Tuesday, November 5. Wear your costume onboard since any bag larger than a small personal item will cost an additional $30-$40 each way.

Chicago - Minneapolis $87 Roundtrip for Fall Travel
Flights between these two midwestern metropolises are regularly less than $100 roundtrip once again thanks to Sun Country Airlines. But you don't need to fly the ultra-low-cost carrier for a great price. Fly nonstop on American Airlines from Chicago to Minneapolis for $87 roundtrip on several travel dates in November and December. I found availability departing Chicago ORD on Friday, November 8, returning from Minneapolis MSP on Monday, November 10. Perfect for a quick weekend away and you can even schedule the return flight on Monday early enough to make it back to work on time.

Oakland - Maui $278 Roundtrip for Fall/Winter/Spring Travel
It's great to see flights from the Bay Area to Hawaii are now less than $300 fairly often. With newly added service from Southwest and Hawaiian Airlines introducing Basic Economy, we'll probably see these great fares stick for off-season travel. Fly nonstop from Oakland to Maui for $278 roundtrip on Alaska, Hawaiian, or Southwest. And if you prefer to fly from San Jose (SJC) or to Honolulu (HNL), you'll find the same price. Travel on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, from late November through early June, excluding holidays.
Southwest is currently only selling tickets through early April, but it's the best value since two free checked bags are included. I found seats departing Oakland OAK on Tuesday, November 26, returning from Maui OGG on Thursday, December 5.

Cleveland - St. Thomas $279 Roundtrip for Winter/Spring Travel
Take a break from the lake and head down to the turquoise waters of the Caribbean this winter. No passport required. Fly from Cleveland to St. Thomas for $279 roundtrip on Delta or United. Travel on scattered dates from January through May, with more availability on American Airlines for about $20 more. I found flights departing Cleveland CLE on Thursday, January 8, returning from St. Thomas STT on Thursday, January 16. You're usually better off with Delta or American since United's Basic Economy is more restrictive and only includes a small personal item, whereas Delta and American include a carry-on bag in all fares.

San Diego - Montreal $376 Roundtrip for Summer Travel
Here's an exciting new nonstop route on Canadian leisure carrier Air Transat. Starting next June, fly nonstop from San Diego to Montreal for $376 roundtrip. While you'll find lower prices for connecting flights in the fall/winter, this is a great price for nonstop travel during the peak summer travel season.

I found tickets for this price departing San Diego SAN on the inaugural flight, Tuesday, June 16, returning from Montreal YUL on Sunday, June 21.

Los Angeles - Ushuaia $791 Roundtrip for Fall/Winter Travel
The southernmost city in the world is the gateway to Antarctica and it's rarely this cheap to get there. We've been seeing some great price drops on flights deep into South America recently, including LATAM flights from Los Angeles to Ushuaia for $791 roundtrip. Travel on scattered dates in late November, December, and March. I found seats departing Los Angeles LAX on Thursday, November 28, returning from Ushuaia USH on Sunday, December 15. It's best to go for a few weeks since it is such a long flight and you'll have time to explore a little bit of Buenos Aires on the way. Tierra del Fuego is one of the most beautiful regions on earth and I definitely recommend you add it to your bucket list.
