$99 to Tucson AZ

Do you live near London, Ontario. Is it within a few hours drive? If so, you’ll wanna know about this flight sale. Starting December 5, Flair Airlines is offering direct flights from London (YXU) to Tucson, Arizona (TUS) for as low as $99 one way. That’s… hang on… $198 return. Amazing price, considering that those OTHER airlines (you know which ones I mean) are charging close to $1000 for the same itinerary. Heck, it might be worth driving from another province to catch that flight from London. Or if you’re really headed to Phoenix or if you’re a snowbird headed to one of the many retirement communities in the desert south, it could be worth flying into Tuscon and taking a car from there.

I spent some time in Tuscon a few years ago and frankly enjoyed it a whole lot more than it’s bigger sister, Phoenix. It’s a funky little, easily navigable city with great eateries, cool artsy areas and some interesting attractions in the city and not far from town. One of those is Colossal Cave Mountain Park, a privately operated cave, tour and shop in a spectacular desert setting. Pretty well any drive out of the city, including to Colossal or to any of the many nearby state and national parks, will come with lots of desert scenery. Enjoy!
