Hard to believe but we've almost reached the end of summer. Those looking to close out the season with a last-minute vacation may want to take advantage of an early Labor Day deal.

On Friday, Aug. 16, and Saturday, Aug. 17, customers can purchase half-off tickets for travel dates between Sunday, Sept. 1, and Monday, Sept. 30.
