Fares are bookable on Airfare.com Update: SCL (Santiago, Chile also seems to work!) YUL-EZE March 9-14 is $521CAD total RT. And there’s lots of [...]

In fact, one of the most jaw dropping is Delta’s attack on American hub Miami: Miami to Tapei for $587 TOTAL roundtrip including taxes. WOW. I’ve seen JFK-MIA [...]

There seems to be a fare war happening on US to Tokyo routes. I see all-in roundtrip fares for about $700 for JFK/WAS/DTW/DFW/LAX and more to Tokyo (Narita). There’s a lot of availability from now until April 1. Check out the fares for your city and take a quick trip to Japan. I’m considering spring [...]

What is the Best Day to Buy Plane Tickets?

February 3, 2011

I get asked this question a lot and I’m not sure if I’m ever able to answer it correctly since airline fare pricing is fickle and you should never count on deals on a certain day. However, that being said, one of the best deal I ever found was a Delta fire-sale on European flights, [...]

Amazing AA Fares out of DCA/IAD/DEN to SFO/STL/DCA/DEN- from $100 TOTAL Roundtrip

January 26, 2011

Wow, this is one of the best “fare sales” I’ve seen this year- shame I’m not based in DC or Denver based or a Oneworld flyer. Many of these fares also work from Denver (looks like this is an attack on United hubs). Play around with the cities/dates to see if they work for you, there [...]

Almost all elite status calendars will reset on January 1, 2011, so you better act this week! Whether you need a couple thousand miles to make airline elite status, or a couple hotel stays to lock-in hotel status- you only have 5 more days to act.  If you don’t think you can possibly bear to [...]

Mileage Run Planning

December 21, 2010

I’ve been getting a lot of requests lately to help plan mileage runs. To be honest, I’m simply not an expert at finding the best routing/deals on revenue flights. Even when I “mileage run” I usually stay a night or two and make a mini-vacation out of it and I travel enough regularly to only [...]

Continental Onepass and Elite Maximizer: A Good Deal?

December 19, 2010

This fall, Continental introduced their Onepass/Elite Maximizer program, which allows flyers to purchase extra Onepass miles and Elite Qualifying Miles with paid itineraries. If you purchase the extra Onepass miles (for roughly 3.5 cents each), you can then also purchase Elite Qualifying Miles, which are [...]

Kudos of the Day: Delta Technology

December 10, 2010

I read the Cranky Flier post “Is Delta the Airline Passenger Technology Leader?” yesterday and it got me thinking that Delta does have some pretty good technology in comparison to the other US legacy airlines. Delta certainly has its share of IT blind spots (online award booking calendar and a buggy website), but from a passenger [...]

My Mileage Run Decision

December 9, 2010

It’s that time of the year- elite status obsessed flyers begin to panic about qualifying for 2011 elite status. Since the elite qualifying year is January 1- December 31, some flyers pack in some serious flying in December to hit the next elite status level (usually at the 25,000, 50,000, 75,000, 100,000 and 125,000 mile [...]
