Normally, we can't keep up with every air fare sale but this one is unusual: AirTran is offering deep discounts on its schedule into the fall. Sales are often for shorter periods of time, and don't extend through the heavy summer travel season.

Read the latest AP story on this sale here, and look for other airlines to selectively match AirTran where they compete.
