Airfare sales are nothing new, but one low-cost carrier is taking it to an extreme. Flair Airlines, a low-cost Canadian airline, recently announced it would be discounting their base fares to just one (Canadian) dollar on select routes from Cancun, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Puerto Vallarta to Canada. While the fare may only be one dollar, the taxes and fees total approximately $15.14 per flight segment, including security and government fees. The base fares do not include any baggage, so travelers with a personal item, checked luggage, and carry-on luggage will need to add a bundle, which can be as much as $56. This is a similar pricing model that has been adopted in the United States by airlines such as Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant which offer basic economy fares without any frills.
This Low-Cost Carrier Has 30% Off All Round-Trip Flights Right Now

Saving on fall travel just got easier with a new sale from Avelo Airlines.
The carrier’s “Back to School” sale ends tomorrow, August 20, at 11:59 p.m. PT. With the promo code SCHOOL, travelers can enjoy a 30 percent discount on round-trip flights across Avelo’s network between September 4 and November 5, with no blackout dates during this time frame.
This promo code must be entered under the “Have a promo code?” box on Avelo’s website when searching for flights. The 30 percent savings will apply solely to the base fare of a round-trip ticket, which excludes any government taxes and fees.
Travel + Leisure tested the promo code across multiple itineraries:
Avelo is a smaller airline, so most of its flights don’t operate daily. However, travelers can rely on the airline for its excellent on-time performance and can even make changes to their bookings online at no extra cost.
“As we enter the second half of 2024, Avelo continues to distinguish itself as America’s most reliable airline,” founder and CEO of Avelo, Andrew Levy, said in a recent news release. “Our customers can count on Avelo to get them where they want to go more reliably than any other airline.”
The low-cost airline operates an all-Boeing 737 fleet in a 3-3 configuration. Passengers should be aware that seat selection comes with an additional fee, and the airline offers several rows with extra legroom for an added charge. While one personal item is included in the fare, there are additional costs for carry-on bags and checked luggage.

The Most Exciting Hotels in London Right Now
London is in its global hotel brand era: In the last year, it’s added a Raffles, a Peninsula and a second Mandarin Oriental; a Waldorf Astoria, a St. Regis and a Six Senses are on their way. This new guard is taking over historical icons and throwing up gleaming towers, and it’s upping the ante on amenities, too. A posh afternoon tea is no longer enough, it seems; now, five-stars come with signature scents, subterranean spas, museum-worthy art and long-stay residences. Rooftop bars, a rarity here a decade ago, are now seemingly obligatory (Bar 33 at the Emory wins for views, with everything from Big Ben to Battersea Power Station in its sights). But there’s still room for the occasional independent hotel, like the Broadwick, a maximalist love letter to the owner Noel Hayden’s hotelier parents and the creative Soho of the ’90s in which he came of age. “It’s a bit of a sensory overload,” Hayden says. Naturally, there’s a rooftop bar there, too.
