Many March Wednesdays in particular still offer the low $290 starting rate on the Delta Atlanta Non-Stop that goes Wednesday to Wednesday. For Value driven Atlanta guests this can be a good rate to capture their business to your lodging option. Below are some date combinations where I’ve found this rate:

3/14/12 3/21/12
3/21/12 3/28/12

Note: For guests that wish to go Saturday to Wednesday or Wednesday to Saturday the combined rate starts as low as $351.

Saturdays on the non-stop Atlanta start at $412. The Saturday date combinations below found this rate:

Inbound Outbound
3/17/12 3/24/12
3/24/12 3/31/12

Note: that other airlines have connecting flights from Atlanta for under $400 on many dates as well. The above represents some terrific value for guests that also want the convenience of non-stop service.

Note 2: The above was valid on 1/30/12 at 9am…actual rates are subject to the actual date and time of booking and seat availability at that date and time. Other conditions and restrictions may apply.
