OK, so I am against riding bikes on the streets of Manhattan, and I have explained why in this post. But those of you who won’t listen have a chance to save about 50% off the rack rates, which makes it a killer deal if you are going to ride anyway. Here is the deal… Continue Reading

$15 All-Inclusive Deal at Lifestyle Tropical in DR for 15 Hours On Cyber Monday
$15 per person per night at an all-inclusive resort! Worth it or not worth it? Not only it’s worth it, but it’s worth setting a reminder to be the first to get this deal. What a coincidence! I just came back from this resort a few days ago and wrote about its pro and cons… Continue Reading
Free Ticket? Sure, but Don’t Forget to Fill Us Up!
British Airways is being sued by a group of flyers for imposing fuel surcharges on award tickets. If British should lose, it might open the floodgates of lawsuits against other “greedies” who brazenly and routinely use bogus “fuel surcharges” (also coded as YQ or YR), in order to pad their bottom-line. These infamous fuel… Continue Reading
$19 PP a Day for an All-Inclusive Hotel. Does It Go Better Than That?
Yes. Last year I paid $12. Devaluations suck 🙂 Every year for the last 5 years or so, I’ve scheduled a week at an all-inclusive resort. It has become a tradition of sorts.

The Merger of Them All
The main event of the last week was the decisive victory of American Airlines, US Airways, and ultimately the US consumers over the DOJ’s malicious attempts to halt their merger. Since American and US Air agreed to divest a few slots scattered across some of the nation’s airports, the merger will proceed as planned. The… Continue Reading
US Air and American Are Now Free to Tie the Knot
This is my Sunday Post at Frugal Travel Guy In a surprising announcement on November 12, American and US Air declared that they had come to the agreement with the Department of Justice to settle (as DOJ put it) “Merger Challenge.” The agreement arrived on the same very day the DOJ announced that “the Justice… Continue Reading
Spend Your Soon-To-Be Devalued United Miles on an Award Flight to the World Cup in Brazil!
A couple months ago, I wrote a post on Frugal Travel Guy. I mentioned (among other things) how the airlines had been blocking all award seats for the whole June and July 2014. And then I predicted–boldly enough, LOL–that tickets would go back on sale and that all you needed to do is wait. I… Continue Reading
Are Shopping Portals Worthwhile?
alles-schlumpf / Foter.com / CC BY-NC-SA This is my Saturday post for Frugal Travel Guy With the holiday season just around the corner, combined with the improved economy, shopping is on everyone’s mind.
