Airfares To Savannah (GA) And Hilton Head (SC) Will Climb Sky High As AirTran Pulls Out Of Savannah, (GA)

Airfares to Savannah (GA) And Hilton Head (SC) will climb sky high as AirTran pulls out of Savannah, (GA) on October 27, 2008.

AirTran will discontinue nonstop service from their Hub in Atlanta to Savannah (GA). AirTran has been serving Savannah since 1994 and is the only low-cost carrier that serves Savannah. Once flights stop, we expect airfares to climb 50% or more fro leisure travel and may triple for business travelers wishing to depart with little or no advance notice.

As for Hilton Head, which is about 40 miles away, Delta Airlines and US Airways are the only two U.S. airlines that serves the city. For the past few years the two major airlines have been forced to offer competitive airfares to Hilton Head due to the low airfares available to Savannah.

To add more bad news to Hilton Head, Delta Airlines plans to discontinue service to Hilton Head on November 30, 2008. However, not all is gloom and doom for those wishing to travel to or from Savannah or Hilton Head. Now is the time to use our Compare Nearby Airport Feature even more than ever.

About 60 air miles away from Hilton Head is Charleston (SC) which will still offer low airfares from AirTran and will continue to be matched by other airlines. Charleston (SC) is also about 85 air miles from Savannah. Travelers may still find cheaper airfares by departing out of Jacksonville (FL), which is about 116 miles, which has three low cost carriers: Southwest Airlines, Jetblue and AirTran.

So, next time you want to head so Savannah or Hilton Head, be sure to use our Compare Nearby Airport Feature on our Bestfares.com booking engine. All it can do is give you options and save you money.
