Travel Deal of the Day (October 1, 2008)

If you are looking at Thanksgiving tickets, you are probably noticing very high airfares. When purchasing expensive airfares, you should keep in mind that the Coach airfare is not always the cheapest airfare.

The Deal:
Many airlines offer Coach fares with free upgrades to First Class. During very busy travel periods such as Thanksgiving, these discounted first class fares may actually be cheaper than the least expensive coach fare available. When checking for Thanksgiving airfares, you should check both Coach and First Class, as you may be pleasantly surprised that the First Class fare is actually cheaper than the Coach fare.
