Print article When is the last time it cost less to fly to Dallas or New York than it did to fly to Seattle? The answer is: “Never, until last week.” This tale of two cities Dallas and New York is part of a bigger picture. Airlines are trying everything they can to coax travelers back onto planes. As a group, air carriers are spending more to clean the planes, enforcing universal masking and freeing up some of the middle seats. But there’s really nothing like dropping fares to get people excited about traveling. Fares between Anchorage and New York have been trending lower since January. But last week, American Airlines started dropping the fare each day. First it was $117 one-way, then $111, then $100. Right now, American is charging $97 one-way to fly from Anchorage to either LaGuardia or JFK. The return trip is $98 one-way. Tickets are available between May 6 and Oct. 5. Delta has matched the fare.
