Travel Deal of the Day (April 21, 2010)

Want to fly without any advance notice coast-to-coast for $99 plus tax/fees? You may be able to do so if you are a college student....

The Deal:
If you are a student age 18-22, you are eligible for fly standby on Airtran for $49, $69 or $99 (plus taxes and fees) per flight segment on nonstop flights. No advance reservation is necessary. Additional restrictions, such as blackout dates, apply. The ability to go to the airport without any advance notice and fly (for instance) from Atlanta to Los Angeles for $99/way (plus tax/fees) can be a great deal, especially when you need to fly immediately. Of course, patience is required, as you are flying standby.
