USA By Plane

Basic round-trip fares within the US range roughly $80-500. Commercial carriers like American and United will probably offer the most convenient flights, but they may not be the cheapest. You will probably find flying one of the following “no-frills” airlines to be a better deal, if any of their limited departure points is convenient for you. Many of these airlines also offer one-way flights without the high fees imposed by some major airlines, and do not charge extra for travelers who are not staying over a Saturday night.
