Here’s a way to get your mind off economic angst: hit the slopes. Continental Airlines can help you do precisely that, with each-way discount airfares starting as low as $79, exclusive of taxes and fees.

While all the discount airfares quoted here are each-way, you have to make a round-trip buy to get these seats. Book and buy at the carrier’s Web site (www.continental.com).
