Random Grunts

What a year it has been! A roller coaster, no less! Endless devaluations, endless rants, arguments, blogger wars, you name it. Our tiny, overcrowded niche is spilling over. Never before has our hobby been so entertaining, and not just to us–certified nutheads–but even to the folks standing on a sidewalk looking in. Ah, the hell withContinue Reading

Low-Cost Asian Airlines–My Saturday Post at Frugal Travel Guy

There are instances when you should forgo free award flights in favor of paid airfares–but only when said airfares are so cheap that redeeming miles becomes a more expensive option considering taxes and fees. Last week, I wrote on ultra-cheap European airlines that can be found here. My today’s post is about Asian Low-Cost Carriers. PhotoContinue Reading

Good Atlantic City Deal and Why I Haven’t Posted Much Lately

There is a good Atlantic City deal from TravelZoo for those of us here in the North East who wouldn’t mind a short getaway. You can get an upgraded room at the Showboat on boardwalk, $40 dining credit, and $20 in free booze for $59 a night. Since I can always use free food andContinue Reading

True Low-Cost Airlines

European Low -Cost carriers are a fantastic way to fly. The US doesn’t have true Ultra Low Cost Carriers no matter how hard they are trying to convince you otherwise (please see my yesterday FTG post about Frontier Airlines). But European airlines, such as Ryan Air and easyJet can truly save you hundreds of dollarsContinue Reading

Record-High 50,000-mile Alaska Airlines Credit Card Offer

I was dragging my feet before posting it here, but it seems that folks have been getting confirmation of the bonus, so I think the risk is low at this point. Alaskan is a fantastic airline, but what’s even more fantastic is all the partners you can redeem their miles on, including Delta and Emirates.Continue Reading

Now That the Draw is Over–Fly to World Cup in Brazil for Free

Listen! I know that when something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Not only do I know this adage, I also subscribe to it. It works all the time! But, there is always but… The adage says probably. It doesn’t say always. If it said “always is” I would have an issue with that. Just like I haveContinue Reading

I Had to Go to Panama City for Two Days This Week

It wasn’t a pleasure trip. I went for my cousin’s funeral. She was a brilliant woman, successful at everything she put her mind to; business, writing, real estate. She was writing her doctoral when this happened. Despite her long-time illness, she would travel around the world over and over, and she was a mile-and-point junkieContinue Reading

The Flight Deal | Aeromexico – $299: New York / Los Angeles / San Francisco / Phoenix – Lima, Peru. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

Run, don’t talk, don’t walk and don’t procrastinate! You snooze, you lose. There are no graphics in this post because it will die very soon. I checked availability out of New York and it’s there, but you have to depart on Dec, 25th and return between Dec 29-31. So what, this is summer now in Lima! Peru isContinue Reading
