When we haven't traveled in a few weeks, we get serious ants in our pants and we begin to consider anywhere in the world so long as there's some special or deal. Finding ourselves currently in such a mood, we jumped at @airfarewatchdog's tweet that flights to Cairo, Egypt on Russian airline Aeroflot in February were showing up under $500, including all taxes and fees.

Indeed we found the promised fares right on Aeroflot's website, with departures at a "promotional fare" of $67 each way to Cairo, switching planes in Moscow. Add on taxes and fees, and the total comes to a meager $501.70. We can't even get from NYC to London for that, but Egypt? Okay! ]]> JetSetCD 2009-11-17T10:09:28-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/11/11/143245/14

Remember when Ryanair threw a hissy fit about bad coverage and "retaliated" by giving away over a million free seats? This new deal from low-cost carrier AsiaAir has going is just like that, rounded down a few thousand seats. Except this the deal opens up a huge vacation window next summer. And it covers over 70 destinations in China, India, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand. And you don't have to fly on Ryanair. All things that we are very, very in favor of, but let's hear what they have to say:

AirAsia’s regional commercial head Kathleen Tan said when the economy was tough, people looked for traveling options that offered them better value for money. 'With no fuel surcharge and administration fee, this deal offers fantastic value to our guests'...she said to complement the free flights, AirAsia’s one-stop travel portal was also offering deals and packages including “free rooms” in more than 180 Asia-Pacific hotels online.

The always spunky Richard Branson and his Virgin team are no slouches at putting together clever promotions, and this time his Aussie long-haul airline V Australia has got a smart one going called Jet with JET.

One jet, of course, is the plane that V Australia is going to fly you in from Los Angeles to Sydney. The all-capitals JET is the great Aussie rock band that will be on the plane with you, and then will perform at the Homebake Music Festival once they back to Oz. ]]> amandak 2009-10-23T08:58:20-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2009/7/7/103321/2159

Fall travel just happens to be out favorite kind of travel; it's not too hot, you still don't have to pack a bulky coat, tourist spots aren't as packed, and the colors or autumn leaves are just awesome. Southwest Airlines seems to understand our love for fall, and so they've put all of their flights between September 9 and November 18 on sale for 48 hours only.

Book by end of day on July 8, and snag Southwest seats based on how far you fly; it's a bit like paying per plate at an all-you-can-eat buffet. Flights of 400 miles of less, like BWI to New York-LGA, are $30 each way; flights between 401 to 750 miles, like Las Vegas to Oakland, are $60 each way; and flights more than 750 miles, like Chicago-MDW to Houston-Hobby, are $90 each way.

Taking advantage of their shiny brand new route between New York and Chicago, we double checked to make sure these sale fares stand, and indeed we found roundtrips in late September for $60 each way, with fees coming to a total of $141.20. Just watch out for those Fridays and Sundays; the sale fares exclude these days because hey, an airline has to make a living somehow.
