This weeks’ Deal Dispatch brings you a new partner promotion by alitalia. Need to get ready for your next trip? Then head to ebags.com for a great sale with 17% off side wide to get some new luggage and to Lonely Planet for a 3-for-2 sale on guide books across all formats, so you can plan your next trip! 

Airlines: alitalia is launching a promotion with their new partner, Kaligo. You can earn alitalia reward miles by booking hotels via Kaligo and you can now earn 3,000 bonus miles as a new Kaligo customer with your first booking. alitalia is a SkyTeam member, so those miles are good for flights on Delta, KLM, Air France and a number of other carriers. The bonus miles can make your next hotel booking a good deal – check out my review of Kaligo to see how it works and what to look out for to avoid overpaying! You can find the promotion here!

Gear: ebags is one of my go-to websites for buying luggage. Not only do they carry a lot of brands and offer regular sales, they also produce their own brand of great luggage, including my favorite backpack the Weekender Convertible. Right now, they have a side wide sale to celebrate their 17-year anniversary with 17% off and free shipping for orders over $49 (with promotion code “17YEARS”), including the ebag products. Check out my review of the Weekender Convertible here and order it from ebags for $83 here!

I have reviewed my favorite travel guides, Lonely Planet, here and report on their sales frequently. Currently, they are running a 3-for-2 sale on guides across all formats, including paper books and ebooks. That’s 33% off and a good deal if you are looking for some inspiration and planning help for your next trip! You can check it out here!
