Airfares

By Mark Kahler, About.com

These seasonal deals usually come with strings attached and fairly short deadlines. If you see something you like, be sure to do two things: read the fine print restrictions carefully, and book immediately if you're satisfied with those terms.

We'll start with some spring airfares.

American offers extra frequent flier miles for those who book spring flights to London. Their Big Ben, Big Miles promotion requires booking and completion of travel by May 15. If you'll make three round trips, you can earn up to 60,000 bonus miles. You must register for the bonus program prior to travel, and not all fares are eligible.

Cathay Pacific offers its incredible All-Asia Pass once again this year. It now costs $1099 USD (down from last year) and includes 24 cities in 21 days. The spring dates run through May 15. After that, a summer add-on charge applies.

Continental is promoting Great Fares for Spring Travel starting at $59 USD one-way. Some require round trip purchase, others do not. Fees and taxes will add to the total price.

Aer Lingus links to a monthly deals page from its home page that shows you how airfares rise with the thermometer. For example, a one-way fare from Chicago to Dublin without fees is $206 in February, $246 in March and April, $341 in May and $391 in June. Day-of-the-week restrictions apply when booking these fares.

Iberia has several early spring deals through spring, including Boston-Madrid non-stop round trip starting at $484 USD including taxes. Travel through March 31, with some blackout dates.

Lufthansa offers a Spring Break special for students starting at $195 each way with round trip purchase required. Check eligibility dates carefully.
