| Jump on this Joplin deal
You'd be hard-pressed to find a more all-American town than Joplin, MO. Mesa Airlines' Air Midwest subsidiary is about to make it easier to fly to Joplin – and do it on the cheap - from $148, round-trip. That's the introductory fare between Joplin (JLN) and Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW). Twice-daily service on the route begins October 5. The discount airfare is good from October 5 through November 15, just before the start of the Thanksgiving rush. To take advantage of this deal, you've got to purchase by September 10. Seats are limited, and this discount airfare includes neither taxes nor fees. When Air Midwest inaugurates Joplin service, the Missouri city will have five Mesa flights per day: two to Dallas/Fort Worth, and a three to Kansas City (MCI). Mesa makes the MCI – JLN jaunts under the US Airways Express banner.

Travelers Take Off
As summer comes to an end, heartland travelers have plenty of good reasons to take a vacation. Lower gas prices are just one reason AAA is reporting an increase in fall travel. Good weather, smaller crowds and cheaper airfare are also contributing to the number of fall vacations, but those gas prices are hard to ignore. Just within the last month, AAA Nebraska reports a 36-cent drop in gas prices across the state. Similar figures nationwide are leading to cheaper airline tickets and 23 percent more flights than last year booked between September and November. Marylee Stobbe and her family are busy planning their fall vacation. They take off on their way to Disney World in less than a week, and Stobbe says it is not by accident. "Just because it's not peak season and I didn't want to go in peak season," Stobbe said.
