    Insanely cheap flights right now

    I don't advise anyone travel right now unless you have to. Particularly on airplanes. But if you HAVE TO, "bundle up" and do it. LAX to Chicago one way is $19 LAX to NYC is $29 one way. This was on Expedia. Probably if you looked around you could find one even cheaper?
