For many people the only time they can travel across the pond to Europe is in the height of summer. The airlines realize this and most years charge a hefty premium for July and early August travel - ie more than $1000 RT. However, this year there are some pretty major deals going on from various spots around the country and the airlines keep extending/filing new deals that extend the travel

Last year, we did an analysis for USA Today or AP about the differences in airfare between nonstop flights and connecting. Today, AP were after a quote about price drops and just by accident noticed that US Airways has a nonstop flight from Philly to San Diego (and no one else has). The price for that flight on US has come down from over $700 in September to $338. Of course the cheapest is lower

This morning I got my normal weekly email from United with weekend deals. I normally don't click through on these emails as they never target the offers in the mail to me. Its always deals out of Los Angeles or flights from Kalamazoo. But today I did.Some pretty good flights out of Durango for this weekend. Carl and Doug were talking about going to the Tour of California - turns out you can leave

I flew a lot last year - at least it felt like it to me. As a result I almost got to 1K status on United but was too lazy to do the last couple of flights that would have got me the status.Anyway, on the way back from Scotland at Xmas, I had upgraded Gregor and myself to first class on the leg from Chicago to Denver. Normally I'd expect a 757 or 737 on that flight, so imagine my surprise when i

Been doing some SEO work lately on the site, and as part of it decided to create a ranking system for cities and airports based on the number of seats that fly out daily.Here's the top 10ATL Hartsfield-Jackson, AtlantaLHR Heathrow, LondonHND Haneda, TokyoPEK Beijing Capital, ChinaORD O Hare, ChicagoCDG Charles De Gaulle, ParisLAX Los Angeles International, Los AngelesDFW

This year is definitely turning out to the year of the airfare sale.10am this morning - out pops the usual list of alerts from our all seeing app.Quite a few places for less than $300, which last year would have been unthinkable, withFrontier driving most of the sales at the moment, with United and US Airways happy to match.Todays Flights from DurangoFlights to Denver $125

Its hard to believe - it sunk in - then it didn't sink in. Its almost like its a bad joke that Martin is playing, except given all the information thats coming out of LA County and Santa Monica -its unfortunately true.My friend, and colleague for the last few years, Martin Schaedel died in a horrific plane crash at Santa Monica airport yesterday.I'd spoken to Martin yesterday afternoon - he was

So, after last years epic amount of travelling - to and from Dallas 400 times (at least it felt like it), this year I've decided to stay put for a while in Durango. Of course, saying that, we were all over in Scotland for Xmas and missed the huge dump of powder up at DMR.Talking of DMR, they teamed up with Frontier Airlines this year to try and entice people to get on flights to Durango, and come
