Normally I’m one to avoid using a third-party booking engine when it comes to buying airfare (especially after the Travelocity NFB2012 fiasco), but I stumbled upon an interesting offer earlier today that lead me to do some additional research. Cash back site, TopCashBack is advertising a today-only deal of $18.00 cash back per air ticket … [Read More…]
Got Argentina in the Cards? New Entry Fee Rules
Not too long ago, I booked a great roundtrip fare between NY and Buenos Aires, Argentina, which included a full day in Rio De Janeiro on the return for only $386.22 (related post). Argentina requires US citizens to pay an entry fee of $160 (valid for 10 years); this fee used to be payable upon … [Read More…]
Chase Provides the Best Protection Against Flight Delays or Cancellations
This past weekend, my parents went down to Aiken, SC to help my brother move into his new apartment. While they were enjoying the beautiful 80 degree weather down south, I was given “feed-the-cat” and “pick-us-up-at-the-airport-at-11:56 PM-on-Saturday-night” duties, which I happily agreed to… of course. Well, on Saturday afternoon, I received a call from Dad … [Read More…]
2013 at a Glance + Let’s Meet Up Next Month
What a great way to start off 2013 with a bang; so far in the month of January I’ve been on a total of 6 flights. The first three days of the year were spent in the quaint town of Aiken, SC where I was able to meet with fellow reader/friend, Susan (@miffsc). Then from … [Read More…]
Surprise Trip to Columbia/Aiken, South Carolina
9 days have passed since my last post? Yikes! Unfortunately packing, painting, and moving (during yesterday’s snow storm), has totally consumed my life. I don’t care what anyone else says, living out of a suitcase and hotel hopping is much easier [and more fun] than owning furniture and moving, ha. Well, with my move officially … [Read More…]
YMMV – 3,000 Free Club Carlson Points?
According to this FlyerTalk thread, some people overseas are reporting that they’ve received a special email from Club Carlson containing “festive thank you gifts” as part of their Year End Gift Campaign ranging from 3,000-4,500 bonus points or a ?30 shopping voucher at a chic outlet (Bicester Village in the UK). Though the T+C of … [Read More…]
Discussion: How Far Out in Advance Do You Plan Your Trips?
I just realized that I may be difficult to make plans with, especially when it comes to booking travel because I’m starting to realize that there’s absolutely no rhyme or reason to my life. For example, I’m supposed to be *moving* in 9 days, and I still don’t even have a plan, and half the … [Read More…]
When Using “Valuable” Miles to Book Domestic Flights Makes Sense
In a few weeks, I’ll be headed to Las Vegas for the New Media Expo with some fellow bloggers. As soon as I found out I’d be going, I had set a mental reminder to monitor EWR to LAS fares, hoping I’d find one in the $250 RT range. Well to my surprise, I found … [Read More…]
Weekly Points and Miles Round-Up
What a busy week it’s been between gearing up for the holidays, moving, and hosting a mini JerseyDO last weekend with some folks I met during the StarMegaDo4Â a month ago. Needless to say, I apologize for falling off of the face of the Earth! Here’s a mini round up of some noteworthy points and miles … [Read More…]
Trip Report: A Relaxing Weekend in San Jose, Costa Rica
Back in September, United Airlines had released some pretty tempting fares from EWR to Costa Rica. Granted the $288 round trip fares were great, I’ll admit that I was most attracted to the ~5K PQM that came along with it… plus, it really doesn’t take much persuasion for me to agree to a weekend of … [Read More…]
