• Boston-Los Angeles: $179 now on American and United; was $408 in September.
• New York area-Chicago: $218 now on American, Continental and United; was $318 to $388 in September.
• New York-San Francisco: $238 now on American, Delta, United and Virgin America; was $438.
• Washington, D.C.-Vail, Colo.: $160 now on American, United, Northwest and Delta; was $560.
• Phoenix-London: $499 on British Airways; was $869.
