Sale to Europe – $500 per person

Air Berlin has announced a sale for flights to Europe for as low a $999 roundtrip for 2 people.  They’re calling it a Fly2gether sale, so you have to book 2 people to get this special fare, but it’s really a good promotion.  Tickets have to be purchased by today, December 1, 2013, and travel can be between January 1 and March 31, 2014. Air Berlin does only fly to a few cities in North America, so this deal makes the most sense for folks who live in/near New York, Chicago, Miami, or Fort Myers…but it could still be a Continue reading Sale to Europe – $500 per person

More Free Uber Credit – Up to $45!

I’ve posted a few Uber deals in the past, but in case you missed those or haven’t heard of Uber at all, it’s a very rapidly growing on-demand private car service.  It’s similar to taxis, but more technologically advanced, more fancy, and overall just more better.  Using their website or app on your phone, you can request a car, and within minutes, a black sedan (or SUV) will pull up to your exact location.  The service is available in many mid-size and major cities (and it’s continually growing). Uber normally offers a $10 bonus when you sign up – the Continue reading More Free Uber Credit – Up to $45!

Why You Should Have a British Airways Frequent Flyer Account

Yes, you read that right, you should have a frequent flyer account with British Airways.  Why?  Well, for starters, their automated phone menu has an awesomely soothing British voice.  But you could actually call them (1-800-247-9297) right this very minute even without an account just to hear the voice. But stay with me – there’s a much more compelling reason to have an account with them (and this is for flights within the US, not for flights to the UK).  As you may (or may not) know, with most airline frequent flyer programs, you will need 25,000 miles to redeem Continue reading Why You Should Have a British Airways Frequent Flyer Account
