Getting discounts on Disney Orlando tickets are almost impossible. Prior to this post we knew of two ways – 1) Be a Florida resident and 2) Spend a day in a time share presentation (and a lifetime getting [...]

It seems like the weak economy combined with drop in price of oil left the airlines with no choice but to reduce fares. ElAl’s website and promotional emails list so many deals – I have to pinch my computer to make sure I am not dreaming. Besides the ElAl Spontani deals ($599 to US), they [...]

I am definitely a fan of the
ElAl Spontani and they have some very good fares to Europe for this weekend. Flights leave Thursday night or Friday morning and return Monday or Tuesday. Great idea for people working with the US. Monday is Martin Luther King Day Day and Tuesday is Inauguration Day, so it is [...]

A look back at 2008, for the TLV to JFK frequent flyer.
Airfare shot up with fuel prices but didn’t really come down. But there have been some good fare sales lately on domestic flights. To save money, airlines charged for everything – from pillows to bags to water to food to movies. That [...]

There has been a lot of buzz about a new service offered by Yapta.com. Yapta stands for “Your Amazing Personal Travel Assistant”. Most of the buzz seems to be regurgitation of their press releases.
Besides their basic (airline site only) meta-search, they offer a airfare tracker. Not a predictor, like farecast. They claim that millions [...]

I am often asked – whats the best way (meaning schedule and cost) to book flights online. The field is crowded with Meta-search (Kayak, farecast), Online Travel Agents (Expedia, Orbitz, Priceline, Travelocity) and the Airline sites.
The answer is usually a combination of all three. Todays post is about debugging a high priced domestic ticket.
STEP 1: [...]

Here’s a deal from ElAl right in line with the current financial reality:

We just reserved 5 tickets to New York via Rome (on AlItalia) for $4400! Online – and I did it myself (took 2 hours).
The key was an iterative process, hopping back and forth between the airlines websites and the Online Travel Agents (OTA’s) – like Expedia.
The airline websites offer more flexibility in terms of dates [...]
