As if Mardi Gras in New Orleans wasn't going to be crazy enough, the Saints' Super Bowl victory will likely make this year's party ridiculously insane. There's still time to book your flight to the Big Easy so that you can join the drunken fun.
Obviously, booking less than a week to the big event isn't going to come cheap. But if you're willing to shell out to party hard, CheapOair has some doable deals.]]>
If you've been waiting to pull the trigger on a flight this summer in the hope that ticket prices will soften even further, it's time to commit. Airfares are about as low as they're going to go, according to the guy from FareCompare.com, which keeps an eye on these kinds of things. In an interesting AP item, CEO Rick Seaney said that airfares have begun to creep up by $10 to $20 in recent days, and will likely continue to firm as oil prices rise and the summer travel season begins in earnest over the Independence Day holiday. The bottom line: buy your tickets now if you want a super-cheap vacation this summer. Do it. ]]>
