While you may not necessarily be looking to take a cross country trip right now with the economy in the condition it is, this morning I found an amazing deal on airfare between Los Angeles and New York for as little as $218 round-trip. That means you can travel all the way from the West Coast to the East Coast for well under $300. With the two cultural centers of our country thousands of miles apart, it would seem that to travel between the two cities would cost a lot of money—and it usually does. However, with some great winter sale fares, now is the time to head east. Maybe you want to get into the Christmas spirit by getting away from hot and sunny LA and spend some time ice skating in Rockefeller plaza, shopping at Macy’s, and enjoying the giant Christmas tree. Or perhaps you’d just like to experience the hustle and bustle of Times Square. Or maybe, you have just been really craving a hot, melty slice of real New York pizza. Whatever your reason, with airfare this low, it may be hard to resist planning a little vacation to the Big Apple.
