US currently has some $98 weekend fares for either BOS-LGA or DCA-LGA. Also they announced a worldwide sale today (see press release pasted in below).
An example not in the press release of the worldwide sale BOS to DCA is $118 for off peak days, and about $148 or so peak days. When there is not a sale BOS-DCA can easily run over $200-$300 even if booked in advance. A couple of days ago I booked about 3-4 BOS-IAD tickets on UA for $116-$135 all inclusive as US travel to DCA was well over $200.
I have not been able to find a $58 fare out of BOS though. The least expensive BOS fare I know of is $78 BOS-BWI and you can get 4 segments easily on BOS-BWI. As an aside does anyone know of $58 fares that allow 4 segments?
