How low will airfares go?

It’s another airfare wars Tuesday and airlines are nearing the frenzy point, so if you plan to jet this summer – I can’t imagine the fares getting a whole lot better. (And if they do, see this post.) Southwest has flights starting at $49 each way from BWI to Albany, Buffalo, Columbus, Cleveland, Detroit, Hartford, Long Island, Manchester, Norfolk, Providence and Raleigh. Flights to Florida start at $69 each way. And $99 each way to the West Coast. All for travel through mid-August. Book by April 6 because if you don’t they’ll just drop another sale.

AirTran’s sale is through April 9 with flights from BWI starting at $49 for – you guessed it – Burlington. Their flights to California are priced at $129 each way, about $30 more than Southwest. Just sayin. But the airfare prices are good for travel through Oct. 30 – scary, right? JetBlue is in the fray too with one-way airfare starting at $39 each way from Dulles (IAD). Other airlines like United and American are probably matching on some routes, also. Whew.
