Black Friday sale on AirTran


Some of the best deals, all round trip from Hobby Airport and including taxes and fees. The connection is in Atlanta:

 Atlanta, $168 nonstop, Jan. 15-17, for example.

 Key West, $286, Jan. 12-16, for example.

 Washington’s Reagan National or Dulles, $179, Jan. 23-25, for example.

 Fort Lauderdale, $209, Dec. 12-16, for example.

 Buffalo, N.Y., $179, Jan. 24-30, for example.

 Orlando, $219, Jan. 16-23, for example. A pretty good fare, but travel the same dates on US Airways, and it’s $212.

 Cancun, $294, Jan. 18-27, for example. Another fare that’s not bad at all, but you can make the same trip on Continental nonstop from IAH for $280, saving hours in the air.
