Earlier today I posted American Airlines’ $97 fares to and from a number of southern airports and Chicago. Those aren’t the only deals AA has for the Windy City: there are sale fares from across the country for O’Hare airport. As with the $97 fares, these deals are for flights originating in Chicago or the partner airports, and most are available for selected dates in fall and winter. Combined with those fares, there are deals from many of the largest cities in the U.S. as well as a number of regional locations.

  • Atlanta from $115
  • Ft. Myers, Fl. from $127
  • Miami from $130
  • Los Angeles from $144
  • Phoenix from $166
  • Islip, Long Island from $168
  • Des Moines from $173

Like the $97 deals, these fares are for AA’s basic economy, which includes a carry-on and snacks. And also like the earlier deal, main cabin buy-up is ranges from $80 – $120 which cuts the savings immensely. Some of these fares are commonly available through the fall while others are only available on select days, so check closely for dates that work for you.
