Grab them while they’re hot, United’s at it again, with yet another great domestic deal. This time, the lucky city that gets the deal discounts is Denver, with prices starting at $54 for one-way trips, or $108 for roundtrips. The price cut is scheduled to start on August the 10th and will last all throughout 2009 and into the first half of 2010’s January. Admittedly, on some routes to and from Denver, other airlines might have the upper hand, as is the case from flights departing from Denver and arriving in Phoenix Arizona, where airlines such as Frontier or US Airways might raise United’s ante and lower their own prices.

So if you’ve got business around Denver in the latter half of this year, there might be a good chance United is your best option, but we advise you still take a couple of minutes to look for some counteroffers as the tough competition might make things even brighter for you. You can find more info regarding these deals on United’s Denver Sale page.

Spirit Airlines have a long lasting tradition in offering us awesome deals, especially for those of you that are part of their famous $9 Fare Club, but this month they’ve truly outdone themselves, offering travellers several summer packs that will leave you drooling. Even if you’re not part of the Spirit Airlines Fare Club, chances are you’ll be hard pressed to find better deals, especially if you’re flying from Spirit’s hometown of Fort Lauderdale, in sunny Florida: their current $23 Each Way ($46 roundtrip) airfares from Fort Lauderdale to the Bahamas could prove to be the incentive you needed for a quick getaway to the Grand Island.

Other slightly more expensive fares include $58 roundtrips to U.S. connections such as Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta, Boston, Orlando or Tampa. Remember, although these deals stretch out well into September, they only work on specific days of each month.
