Roundup: JetBlue one-day sale, fares from $39 OW in California; AirTran sale, $119 OW cross-country; Travel + Leisure best affordable beach resorts

JetBlue is having a one-day sale — today. Fares start as low as $29 each way, pre-tax, but the lowest I found out of Long Beach was $39 each way to Oakland (OAK), Sacramento (SAC), San Francisco (SFO) or San Jose (SJC). Those are good deals, but flights to Portland, Ore. (PDX), Seattle (SEA) and Salt Lake City (SLC) were especially cheap, at $49 each way, pre-tax. Book your flight today by 10:59 p.m. PST for travel on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from March 10 to April 1, 2009.

[Note: They also have fares from Burbank (BUR) to Vegas (LAS) for $29 each way, and Burbank to New York for $69 each way, pre-tax.]

AirTran is also having a sale. Book your tickets by March 5 for travel through Nov. 4, 2009. Here’s the list of cities on sale departing from Los Angeles (LAX). Get cross-country fares to cities like Charleston, S.C.; Memphis; Boston; Buffalo, N.Y.; Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; and Raleigh/Durham, N.C.; and more for as low as $119 one-way, no round-trip purchase required.

Travel + Leisure has a slide show of its favorite affordable beach resorts. All resorts are less than $250 per night, but there are also some on the list that are only $80 per night. Treebones in California made the list at $155 per night.
