Random Airline News
Here’s a jumbled round-up of recent airline/airfare news:
Ryanair. We wrote about them in our Airfare Alerts 2 post. They’ve always been a bit persnickety but have now announced they won’t be honoring any tickets booked through third-party websites. That means if you’ve booked a flight on Ryanair through BravoFly, V-tours, Opodo, Atrapalo or OTBeach, you’d better contact them, or Ryan Air directly, to find out the status of your ticket. And apparently, Ryanair won’t be an option anymore or these, or other multiple booking sites.
Best Fares has a cool consolidator sale running. Offered deals are pretty good, especially if you are flexible. One example is roundtrip airfare to over 30 destinations starting at 529 USD. They have this for both fall travel (September 1 through October 29) and winter getaways which stretches all the way to March 31, 2009. If you do get a whim to pop over to Europe last minute, you should check Best Fares first. They are currently showing roundtrip airfares, all taxes and fees included for destinations like Phoenix to Madrid (879 USD) Los Angeles to Paris (1,056 USD) and Chicago to London (913 USD.) The kicker? You have to travel between August 18 and 31, this year.
And last up is some package deals from Sherman’s Travel. This is for late fall trips – you must travel between November 1 and December 11. Offerings include flight and hotel to Prague from 799 USD; Rome from 949 USD and Amsterdam and Brussels from 1,219 USD. All trips are for 6 nights, and departures are from the East coast, most likely Newark or New York.
