Airfare Specials this Week

Thursday August 14, 2008

It must be the mid-August lull as it was definitely a time consuming venture, searching for airfare specials. I have posted a good number of airfare deals in the Air Travel Forum as well.

Delta Airlines has an intro airfare on an unusual routing - Atlanta - Kuwait. Book by August 15. One way airfares before taxes and fees start at $589. Travel dates are in November and December.

JohnnyJet does it again by finding some good ticket prices to Las Vegas. Roundtrips start from $88 (Los Angeles - Las Vegas), and there are lots of dates to choose from, as well as lots of time to book them.

Want to get away for the next long weekend? Travelzoo has dedicated a page to Labor Day getaway deals. Some of the specials they list are simply airfares, others are package deals.

Don't forget to check the Air Travel Forum - lots of airfare specials/airline promotions are listed, as are plenty of opinions!

Hi Arlene -

I just tried to click through to e-mail you, but had no luck.

Here at aerochannel we appreciate your blog, and we’d like to invite you to visit AeroChannel.com.

While there are lots of websites that will sell you airline tickets, AeroChannel.com is about getting you to the gate – with live updates about traffic, parking, check-in, security and more – all geared to the day of flight. Just enter your flight information and get an update on current airport conditions, and an estimate of just how much earlier you should be at the airport for your flight.

AeroChannel also offers regular features and news summaries of interest to the frequent traveler. We love to hear about what features people like, what we’re missing, and how we can make it better. Some future features we hope to implement include easier access to our multi-media stories, a community page, and and improved mobile services.

As for our current Beta status - this means not everything is working just right, but it’s getting there, and with your help, it will get even better. Working and non-working features as of today are:

Mon - Fri: Live on-site coverage from: LAX (1:30p - 11p PDT), JFK (5a - 1p EDT), PHX (7a - 7p MT) plus our news staff will be regularly updating airport information and tipster reports throughout the day. We will also have additional limited coverage of the 25 busiest U.S. airports.

We’ve posted a topic in the forums as well, but please let us know what you think if you have a chance.

Thanks!
