Late last year, Air Asia announced the introduction of an Asean Pass, offering 10 flight credits for 499MYR ($149) to use over 30 days or 20 flight credits for 888MYR ($249) to use over 60 days (AP+). After some delays due to the tragic loss of flight 8501, it is now on sale! If you […]
Singapore Airlines is my favorite airline – their Economy class is better than anything any US airline offers and their Business and First Class are dream-worthy. And they now have a Sale to Asia! Buy by February 28th with travel dates varying by destination. With sample fares starting at $697, it doesn’t get much better
UPDATE: Apparently, this deal was too good to be true and Expedia pulled the plug due to a “mistake”. They usually have a minimum spend on these kinds of promotions and apparently realized it after launching. While the T&C are still up, the code is not recognized…too bad… Expedia has a great hotel promotion, offering
I recently posted about a fare sale of Norwegian Air (here), a long-haul discount carrier connecting Europe and North America. And they are at it again, offering one-way fares for under $200 between the US and Europe. I’m not sure how they are going to make money on those fares, regardless of the load factors,
I posted about the recent launch of Cebu Pacific’s GetGo rewards program. This post highlights some updates I got from Nik Laming, the General Manager of the Loyalty Division. UPDATE: I have since written a full, in-depth review of the GetGo rewards program – click HERE to read all the information about earning rewards points,
Philippine Airlines and it’s reward program Mabuhay miles have been struggling – most of the regional carriers it is competing with are part of a global alliance. Now, based on an interview of PAL CEO Jaime Bautista with the Inquirer (a leading newspaper in the Philippines), Philippine Airlines is pursuing membership of a global alliance
If you are interested to save some money on travel, you probably have signed up for one or more hotel and airline rewards programs, maybe use hotels.com or Agoda to book your travel and even use a rewards credit card to get 1-2% cash back or up to 5% in points on every purchase. What
Philippine Airlines just devalued their award redemption chart without notice – well, they were nice enough to send out an email on January 31st that new redemption rates have been in effect since January 12th! And all the changes are bad news, redemption rates are between 11% and 50% higher than before throughout their network!
With oil prices at historic lows, the airlines are running out of excuses for imposing fuel surcharges on their flights and exposing them as what they are: hidden increases of fares. They allowed airlines to advertise low fares, and hiding the surcharge among taxes and government fees, and also charge frequent fliers for their “free”
Cebu Pacific has done many, many 1Peso (approx. 2.2cents US) sales in the past, usually for flights 6-9 months out and I scored a few very cheap tickets to international destinations. What makes this sale much better than in the past is that the Philippine Government recently eliminated fuel surcharges on all flights departing the
If you have read my posts about the “Power of Promotions” here and here, you know that the last Intercontinental Hotels promotion “Into the Nights” earned me two free nights, despite some problems in the process and I considered a very good one. So, am I going for this quarter’s promotion “Set your Sights” and
If you have read my two posts about the Power of Promotions (here and here), as well as the travel I undertook to make these promotions successful (here), you probably want to know how it turned out! After the first promotion was completed successfully (read here), now, finally, after a long wait, some anxiety and
