Possibly my shortest post ever, but trips to Hawaii on American/US are currently $550! This is a great deal that isn’t going to last at all. The fares are out of Houston, Chicago, Newark–all relatively easy to get to from the middle and east of the country–and is to a …

I’m going on a cruise that goes to port in Puerto Vallarta for two days–from noon until 3pm the next day. There are all-inclusive beach options that cost about $100 per person per day. But when looking at the Hyatt Ziva there, a room for four people costs $500. (For …

This really cracked me up. Apparently, an airport security agent in Frankfurt asked a musician to take his saxophone out of the case and play it. I guess it’s the agent’s opportunity to hear some live music for free. But apparently, the agent isn’t so much of a fan of …

In an effort to stir up some publicity for their chartered plane service, JetSuite will be releasing random flight charters for $4 for travel on July 4th.  These deals will be available on the 3rd, though no time or method has been listed. JetSuite specializes in short hops.  For $500, you …

I’ve been a huge fan of the Matchbox restaurants in DC and going there has been an exception to my usual “happy hour” rule. But today was the official first day of Matchbox’s happy hour. Matchbox specializes in wood-fired brick oven pizza but has also had amazing house-made vodka-infusions.  I …
