As temperatures drop and the busy summer travel season comes to a close, the deals are starting to roll in. Whether you're an American Airlines or JetBlue Airways fan, you can find fares from Miami (MIA) and West Palm Beach, Florida (PBI), to Los Angeles (LAX) on lie-flat, business-class seats for just $797 round-trip.
JetBlue Mint has long been touted as the best domestic transcontinental flight, although American Airlines business class is another (very) solid option worthy of consideration. These fares can run double the price normally and work if you're booking a one-way flight instead.
