I'm sure you may have your reasons to take a cheap, last-minute flight to Fresno, Calif., which sits smack in the middle of the Golden State.  

Whether you'd want to head to Fresno for family, its proximity to Yosemite , or to just check out some future coastline property , United Airlines is offering flights to the central California town for just $216 this weekend as part of its weekly E-Fares.  

And Fresno is hardly the only destination on short sale. United is offering more than a dozen last-minute destinations up for grabs, including Aspen ($164), El Paso ($164), Syracuse ($166) and more.  

All the details can be found at UnitedAirlines.com .  


United isn't just limiting itself to this and next weekend. Hotwire.com's Travel Ticker notes that United is offering sale fares from the Midwest starting at $61 each way, through next Thursday.  

Not to be outdone, Frontier is also offering a Midwest fare sale , starting at $69 each way, through Nov. 10.  

And AirTran is offering a sale fare as well , with flights across the country starting as low as $44 one-way (Milwaukee).  

If International is more your flavor, US Airways is also offering a last-minute deal this week from Minneapolis to London for $642 (Gatwick or Heathrow). Those tickets must be purchased by Monday, Nov. 9, with several bits of fine print.
