Deal alert: Get away with $35 flights one-way to Charleston, Palm Beach and more
It's a good day to get away for $35 one-way. See what I did there?
This deal comes from the ultra-low-cost carrier Breeze Airways, as U.S. airlines battle to compete with the $35-$39 fares offered by United and JetBlue earlier this week.
This deal is for bookings made Thursday only, so be sure to book fast if you are interested.

The $35 fares are for Breeze's "Nice" fare, which only allows passengers one personal carry-on item. You can pay $20 to access the overhead bin or check luggage. If you want a particular seat, you’ll have to pay for standard seating, which starts at $10 for seats in the back of the plane and goes up to $15 for seats closer to the front of the cabin. Alternatively, you can pay $25 or $30 for 10 additional inches of legroom.
Maximize your purchase
Don’t forget to use a card that earns points on airfare purchases, such as The Platinum Card® from American Express (5 points per dollar spent on airfare booked directly with the airline or through American Express Travel, on up to $500,000 on these purchases per calendar year), Citi Prestige® Card (5 points per dollar spent on airfare), Citi Premier® Card, Chase Sapphire Reserve (3 points per dollar spent on airfare), American Express® Gold Card (3 points per dollar spent on airfare when booked directly with the airline or through Amex Travel) or the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card (2 points per dollar spent on travel). Check out this post for more on maximizing airfare purchases.
The information for the Citi Prestige Card has been collected independently by The Points Guy. The card details on this page have not been reviewed or provided by the card issuer.
Bottom line
“Whether it’s Spring Break, Valentine’s Day, or Mardi Gras you’re after, $35 fares make for a truly ‘Fab Feb’ bargain,” David Neeleman, Breeze founder and CEO, said in a statement. “And with no change or cancellation fees, the time is right to book a trip or two today.”
