Labor Day weekend typically represents the last hurrah of summer. If you're looking to get away one more time, you're in luck. Domestic airfare is the cheapest it's been in five years, according to Dollar Flight Club's new Labor Day 2025 Travel Report. While international fares are far higher (40-60% more) and still creeping towards their summer peak, round-trip tickets within the U.S. are averaging 17% below pre-pandemic levels. Thanks to extra seat capacity, last-minute sales and a dip in demand, U.S. routes are flush with deals.
For some Labor Day weekend inspiration, Dollar Flight Club has identified the U.S. cities where round-trip travel is averaging under $300. For neon nights, pool days and endless entertainment, head to Vegas for $244 round trip. Theme park thrills and plenty of sunshine can be yours for just $258 round-trip to Orlando. A desert vacay in Phoenix is hovering around $265. For $273, you can head to Denver for craft beer, live music and mountain trails. Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Seattle, and Boston are also accessible with round-trip fares below $300.
The key to finding these deals and traveling on the cheap, according to Dollar Flight Club, is to be savvy. Use Google Flights’ Explore tool to spot surprise deals, set fare alerts on services like Dollar Flight Club or Hopper, book by early August, fly mid-week and pack light to save on baggage fees.
