The Sweetest Travel Deal Of 2010 Is...

It's that time of the year again, the time when the year just plain ends. Alas, we can't just let 2010 go that easily, especially since travelers spent it both up in the air and up in arms over a crazy range of topics, encompassing everything from nudie scans to tarmac delays. Needless to say, we're ready for 2011, but first we're taking a brief look back at the best of 2010 with the Jaunted Travel Awards,—or as we fondly refer to them—The Jauntys.

Had you been willing to part with a cool $499 or $699 at the start of this last fall, you would have had the chance to join hundreds of other travelers in scoring the Sweetest Travel Deal of 2010: JetBlue's All You Can Jet Pass for one month of (mostly) unlimited travel on JetBlue's and lo. 2010 was AYCJ's second year of filling fall's empty seats with intrepid little traveler butts for the small three-digit sum, at a price most other airlines woudld't even charge for one flight in regular business class

Not only did we give away two AYCJ passes , but we also had three—count 'em—three Jaunted contributors who also sprang for the deal and set off for a month of adventures and couchsurfing. The complimentary JetBlue track jackets and other swag that came free at AYCJ parties around the country were a nice bonus, but it's the tales of adventure and the amazing people met who really give infintite bonus value to the otherwise already affordable JetBlue AYCJ Pass.

Honorable mentions:
· Delta's last-minute spring flights to Tokyo, which could be had for $420 total round-trip, or their October option for $680, which is what we booked and loved.
· American Airlines' sale via Iberia's website, which featured direct roundtrip flights under $300 (including tax) to Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Milan and Brussels.
