Baedeker for Bargains

The very profusion and complexity of the bargain fares have bothered and confused even the most seasoned traveler. A sampler:

Super Saver, on American, Northwest, TWA and United, for flights from coast to coast and between the East Coast and Arizona, offers from 30% to 45% discounts on basic economy fare. Passengers must buy tickets at least 30 days in advance and stay from seven to 45 days at their destination.

Super No-Frills, on Delta, Eastern and National between New York and Miami or Fort Lauderdale. Fares: Between $55 and $75, depending on the day of the week. First come, first served for 50% of each day's seats.

Super Coach, on American, Continental, Northwest, TWA and United between the midwest and the Pacific coast. Tickets are priced from $99 to $109 with seats limited, but no advance purchase is necessary.

Unlimited Mileage, for travel throughout Eastern Air Lines' system, which reaches from the Caribbean to Mexico and Seattle. The plan is restricted to adult couples (21 or older) at $323 per person, or to an adult with children.
