Act quickly on this one!  Delta has launched a “hub attack” on US Airways, with very low fares on flights to San Francisco and Los Angeles from Charlotte, NC (since Charlotte is one of US Airways’ big hubs).  These hub attacks usually only last for a few hours, and rarely more than a day or two.

This is a great opportunity to get out to the west coast – the Mrs. Guru and I have taken several trips out to San Francisco and we really love the city.  The weather is tough to beat (but bring a jacket year-round…you never know when it’ll be foggy and chilly), and there’s no shortage of activities.  Flights during this sale are available from late August all the way through May, 2015.

Here’s a snapshot of availability during the month of September for flights to San Francisco – as you can see, this low fare is pretty widely available:

Here’s a specific sample itinerary for flights to San Francisco from September 4-8:

Booking the Deal

You can use ITA Matrix or Kayak to perform flexible date searches, and then you can book directly on Delta’s website.  As a constant reminder, when you book directly with the airline, you have up to 24 hours to cancel for a full refund, so when it comes to deals like this, if you even think you might want to take advantage of this sale, it’s in your best interest to go ahead and book now.  Then, you can finalize you’re thinking and planning within 24 hours…you’ll lock in the price by booking now, but in 24 hours when you’re ready to book, the fare might be gone and then you’re out of luck!
