Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to travel. Additionally, keep in mind that discounted partner fares may not earn miles with US-based carriers.

Asiana's deals to Asia are back this week. Earlier this month, the Korea-based airline had $500 flights to Manila, Philippines from a bunch US cities, including New York and Los Angeles. This time, flights start around $550 round-trip from Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and more. While all of these flights have a short layover, you can find flights as low as $500 if you don't mind a 10-hour layover in Korea. Nonetheless, Asiana is one of the best airlines to fly long-haul in economy, and it's quite easy to find an itinerary with very short layovers.

Travel dates for this deal are quite flexible in March and April, although it appears that Friday and Saturdays flights are excluded across the board.
