Hey El Paso, Cheap Air Fares Are Coming!

August 23rd is known as "Cheap Flight Day" and El Paso travelers can take advantage of lower fares from then through Thanksgiving,

Southwest and United are already offering one-way fares of $49 and $59 dollars on some flights and there are some pretty sweet trans-Atlantic deals out there too! Here's more from Yahoo.com:

• When: August 23. While there can be some slight differences among airlines, this is generally the day fares drop on most routes.
• Why: According to the airline calendar, August 23 marks the start of the fall travel season because a lot of kids are back in school and demand for leisure travel drops significantly. The airlines know when we want to fly (and when we don’t) and price fares accordingly.
• How much: We've seen fares drop anywhere from about 10 to 20 percent (and more, sometimes), depending on departure and destination cities.
• Cheapest days: Not all days of the week are equal. As a general rule, the cheapest days of the week to fly remain Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays while the most expensive are often on Fridays and Saturdays.
• Where: The August 23 price-drop is good for both U.S. domestic fares and flights to Europe.
• Booking: The usual rules for airfare shopping apply; book at least 30 days before you plan to take off.

These offers typically dry up by Thanksgiving so, hurry peeps!
