San Francisco - Austin $29 Roundtrip for Fall/Winter Travel

Fly nonstop from San Francisco to Austin for $29 roundtrip on select Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Newark - Ft. Myers $97 Roundtrip for Fall/Winter Travel
Fly nonstop from Newark to Ft. Myers for $97 roundtrip on JetBlue or United. You can thank Spirit Airlines for this great price on more traditional carriers. New service on Spirit Airlines begins this week and the other carriers are forced to compete. Although JetBlue introduced its Blue Basic Economy fare this week, I would still recommend choosing the NYC based carrier since it still includes a carry-on bag plus a personal item in its lowest fare. Both United and Spirit will only include a small personal item for the lowest-priced ticket.
I found flights on JetBlue departing Newark EWR on Saturday, December 7, returning from Ft. Myers RSW on Saturday, December 14. You'll find more scattered travel dates for travel through April, excluding peak holiday travel.
