Sure, it might be hurricane season, but that’s never stopped a true deal-seeking traveler, has it?

That was the first thing I thought when I saw deals to Los Cabos, Mexico this week from U.S. Airways for $330 on their International Getaways e-Saver page this week.

(The fine print: Travel good through Sept. 20. Tickets must be purchased by Monday, Aug. 24)

Most seasoned travelers know that summer is the best time to get deals to the popular winter destinations like Cabo or Jamaica or other parts of the Caribbean.

But those tickets can often come with a price: the late summer is also the height of the tropical storm season, which means you could spend a chunk of that time away in the rain.

Still, not a bad price for a roundtrip.

And that’s not the only deal out of the Twin Cities this week.

United Airlines is offering several last-minute deals out of Minneapolis to U.S. cities including Chicago ($218), Roanoke, Va. ($244), and Reno ($262) among others.

Full details of that sale can be found at United’s e-fares page here:

The best deal of the week, though, by my estimation, comes from IcelandAir, which is touting its summer fare sale out of Minneapolis. Travel to several major cities in Europe — Amsterdam, Paris, London, Glasgow, Stockholm, Copenhagen — is being advertised starting at $469 round trip.

As is always the case with IcelandAir, these trips require a layover in Iceland that could last upwards of a day. But even that’s not a bad thing: IcelandAir can help you pass the time there with several types of daytrips and tours of the Arctic island.

Fair warning: The last time I checked this was an extended sale, which means that the prices could disappear at any moment — maybe even by the time you read this. But don’t worry too much if you can’t find a deal.

Be patient and you’ll very likely see some low fares from this very reputable dealmaker again. They have yet to let me down.
