Another cheap last minuter to Chicago - $341 roundtrip after tax

UPDATE @ 8:05 AM - This AA price has now sold out, but interestingly enough, Delta has matched it, but into Chicago's other airport (MDW).

Try April 23 to 26 on Delta.com from Calgary to MDW

It's showing as $337 roundtrip after tax. The Delta flights however, have 1 stopover.

MDW airport is actually closer and more convenient to Chicago's downtown than the large, busy O'Hare (ORD) airport. Being much smaller, it's also usually a lot less hassle.

------

If you read my article 'Should I buy my flight now or wait?' you may have noticed that I mentioned last minute flights on major carriers are *rarely* cheap. And that's true.


But American Airlines has offered up another one of those rare flights. At $341 roundtrip after tax this isn't just cheap for a last minute flight to Chicago (avg cost, about $900 roundtrip after tax) but cheap for a flight to Chicago *any* time (avg cost, about $700 roundtrip after tax)

Try Apr 23-26 over at http://www.AA.com


If you've got Easter Monday off, and are looking for a great deal, you might want to have a look.
