In her Daily Deals column for the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Clara Bosonetto Maerz reports that "deals become steals if you can start and end your trip from Chattanooga." She points out that "Atlanta's hideous traffic" may prompt folks in Atlanta's northern suburbs to drive north to CHA in Chattanooga, away from Atlanta, rather than through or around Atlanta to ATL south of Atlanta's central business district.
Maerz includes examples of savings. Some of the destinations are random, but she notes that round-trip rates to Portland, Ore., from Chattanooga are $219 (from Atlanta $619); $239 to San Jose, Calif. from Chattanooga (from Atlanta $358); $259 to San Juan, Puerto Rico ($368); $269 St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands ($359); $379 Boise, Idaho ($519), and $453 Anchorage, Alaska ($534).
