Travel, Cruise

Our very own Lost Girl Amanda is crashing the tents and sent us this up-to-the-second report.
Shame on us for believing that Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is nothing more than a big sparkly circus of superficial air-kissing, over-inflated editoral egos, psudeo-celebrity photo ops and eating disorders on parade.
As we learned this morning, the organizers of Fashion Week […]

Improv Everywhere’s latest mission infiltrated one of New York’s most famous landmarks: Grand Central Terminal. More than 200 people swarmed the train station and froze in place for five full minutes. Hilarity, obviously, ensued.
This is the same crew that organizes NYC’s infamous No Pants subway rides, the most recent of which happened on January 12. […]

USA3000 has neglected mentioning our past presidents in their February celebration where they mention Mardi Gras, Chinese New Year and Valentine’s Day, but no matter.  They’re saving ticket purchasers $20.00 on all round trip tickets purchased through their website by 11:59 p.m. EST on Feb. 4, 2008.  That’s this Monday, so hurry and cash in […]

The powder paradise of Bridger Bowl Ski Area is but a twenty-minute drive from Bozeman, Montana. Even better, the town’s nearest airport, Gallatin Field Airport, is just eight miles away.
Bridger’s average annual snowfall of 350 inches buries the area’s 71 trails, which are split pretty evenly between beginner, intermediate, advanced and extreme. If you feel […]

Love to take a chance but just too employed busy to mill around the local OTB, waiting for lady luck to strike? Us too! So just imagine how thrilled we were to hear about Silverjet’s Superbowl promo. 
Buy any ticket from New York to either London or Dubai before February 3rd and, if the Giants win […]

You might be surprised to know we’ve informed you about nude cruises before. What we haven’t been able to promote until now is the pleasure of a nude flight. But we’re pleased to tell you that gap in the market has been filled by a German tour company.
Apparently the Germans are rather fond of showing […]

First it was ze Germans and Lufthansa. Now JetBlue is teaming up with the Irish in the form of Aer Lingus. Starting April 3, passengers will be able to buy tickets connecting the US to Ireland via JetBlue’s hub at JFK in New York. There’s been no mention thus far of ticket prices.
While Aer Lingus […]

We’ve been wondering. Does it make sense to spend $25,000 on a frequent flyer credit card in order to earn 25,000 miles, which is typically what you need for a free domestic roundtrip ticket. If, that is, there are seats available to frequent flyers, which there often are not.
All too often, you have to spend […]

It seems a bit early to start announcing awards like Best Low Cost Airline of the Year for 2008, but the Budgie Awards for LCCs were announced this week and Down Under’s Virgin Blue, it seems, is the best of ‘em all. As well as being a great airline to fly, late last year Virgin […]

We based last week’s Missed Connections post on a presidential primary, but guess what? Next week is Super Tuesday, and no way can you or anyone look for The One in 24 places at once. Even harnessing the power of the Internet, how would you ever get around to meeting all those people?
If you’re in […]
