3000: The future of air travel?
This from the discount travel website www.travekdealsreview.net It's about discount flights folks, something in which we should all be interested. Link to it here
USA3000, the quasi-charter flight operation that sells directly to the public, offers a sale to warm destinations for travel during winter’s coldest days.
A sampling of the routes on sale (one-way fares, taxes and fees extra): St. Louis to Ft. Myers, Florida: $69.99 Chicago to Cancun, Mexico: $99.99 Cleveland to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic: $99.99 Chicago to Montego Bay, Jamaica: $129.99 Detroit to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico: $139.99
Yes, these fares are being offered for departures in December, January, and beyond, but availability is limited. Finding the lowest “starting at” prices can be a challenge but not impossible. On the Chicago-Cancun route, for example, we were able to find several dates available at $99.99 each for departures in January.
If the cheapest price isn’t available, the next best price doesn’t cost all that much more. Again on the Chicago-Cancun scenario, there were plenty of dates offered at a rate of $129.99 each way, which is still pretty good. For more details, a list of sale routes, and bookings, check out USA3000’s website at www.usa3000.com

Travelers looking for a Brit of a change
It looks like the Brits have had enough of staycationing, and as their fall has begun with some truly awful weather, bookings to sunnier climes are taking off.
And Florida is right at the top of the list, according to travel company Travel Counsellors, who, according to UK newspaper, The Daily Mail, reported that there had been a surge in Christmas bookings to Orlando in Florida.
The company says there has been a 41 per cent increase in bookings for the Christmas period compared with this time last year. A more favourable exchange rate, combined with special offers on trips, particularly in Orlando and Las Vegas which have been hard-hit by the recession, could be combining to cause the boom.
Recession fatigue may also have an effect, with Britons fed up of missing out on their little luxuries, such as foreign trips. According to the Mail, many have started to look towards next summer and are making the most of earlybird deals. Travel Counsellors has reported a 10 per cent increase in bookings made in September for summer 2010.

Labor Day savings
The New York Times reports falling airfares for fall, especially to Florida beach resorts.
Average fares to Orlando and Fort Lauderdale are down 18 per cent to $222 and $208 respectively, according to Bing Travel, the new Microsoft search engine that uses the airfare tracking tools of Farecast. And a recent online search for flights from New York City, departing Thursday, Sept. 4, and returning the next Monday, turned up many round-trip fares for under $300, including Myrtle Beach, S.C., ($155) and Toronto ($287).
There’s another incentive to fly somewhere this Labor Day: impending capacity cuts could push fares up this fall. “Is Labor Day going to be the last hurrah?” asked Genevieve Shaw Brown, senior editor at Travelocity.com.
Let's hope not.

Do the Charleston!
More great news of airline special offers, and again it's examiner.com bringing us the good tidings.
It seems Charleston and Huntington area airports have made it much more economical to travel to certain destinations.

Charleston’s Yeager Airport now has direct flights to Orlando, FL for about $100 round trip per person including taxes and fees through Air Tran. Check out Yeager's website for more up-to-date airfares as these may fluctuate slightly.
Thanks to Charleston roving reporter Lesley Hager for that one...

Name your own price in Orlando
Another great piece of advice from the guys at examiner.com this time about how to stay in Orlando for as cheap as possible. We all like going to Orlando every now and then - well, the kids do at least - but sometimes you feel like you're being taken for a ride before you even get to the parks.
Elana Nichols explains how to beat the system. Click here for the full article
When it comes to traveling to Orlando, room and board can really make those travel plans expensive. As a Florida resident, I love to spend weekends in Orlando. “Whoa, that could get expensive!” you say. You’re right. How do I do it? I use my favorite price weapon. I use Priceline!
It is amazing how much money you can save using Priceline. For example, my husband and I stayed in the Peabody, one of the few five star hotels in Orlando, for a mere $80.00 after tax. This is astounding because the Peabody can average $170.00 per night.
With Priceline Name Your Own Price deals you don’t have to worry about getting stuck with a grimy hotel in a poor area. You name the area and the star level that you want. On Priceline, a three star is very nice (ex: Hilton).
I will walk you through the process in the following easy steps:
1. Go to Priceline then click on “Name Your Own Price.”
2. Put in the city and state (you can even put in a theme park or landmark).
3. Choose the star level you would like- A safe bet for Priceline Hotels in the Orlando area is going for a three-star or better. Two stars are nice as well, just fewer amenities. It is better to start at a high star level and go lower. You get more bids for the same area this way.
4. Choose the area of town you want to stay in-a map will display allowing you to see where the area is in relation to your theme parks and attractions.
5. Name your price - don’t be afraid to go low. We stay at the Hilton regularly for a fraction of the regular rate. If you put in a price that is too low, a message will display saying that you have little to no chance of getting that price. If you see that message, increase the price one dollar at a time until it disappears.
6. You’re all done! If you didn’t get the price you named, you can also select other surrounding areas or star levels to bid again. (Doing this, we often get three star hotels for $50.00)
Wow, great advice Elana! Next time we're off, I know where I am going first...
