PAL increases flights
Take a look at PAL's special promo. Read this news from Philippine star:
MANILA, Philippines - National flag carrier Philippine Airlines (PAL) has increased flights by deploying all available aircraft and posting full staff complement at airports to accommodate the surge of holiday travelers.
For this year’s peak season, PAL has added flights to five international destinations (Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Riyadh and Singapore) and seven domestic destinations (Zamboanga, Ozamis, Puerto Princesa, Iloilo, Dipolog, Bacolod and Cagayan de Oro).
Five selected flights going to Guam are also using a bigger aircraft (Airbus A330), the same with the mid-morning flight from Manila to Davao, using the Boeing 747-400.
Details of changes in schedule and aircraft may be viewed at the PAL website www.philippineairlines.com.
On the ground, PAL’s frontline offices (check-in counters, baggage handling, cargo sales, ticket offices and other customer-contact work places) in Manila and in all domestic and international stations will have maximum manpower complement to serve the needs of travelers.
PAL has also beefed up its security measures during the holidays including the deployment of more guards and bomb-sniffing K-9 unit at various locations of the NAIA Terminal 2.
PAL has been regularly coordinating with the Manila International Airport Authority (MIAA) and heads of airport authorities in the provinces to address peak season concerns.
Special low-fare, limited-seat promos were recently made available to bargain-hunters, such as discounted tickets to Los Angeles, Las Vegas and San Francisco exclusively on sale at the PAL website, and the 4-day Hong Kong package for travel between Dec. 23 and 31, 2010.
Other recent promos include the Payday Special, the Grand Seat Raffle draw for December, the Midnight Special every Saturday and a month-long Manuel Baldemor painting auction for the benefit of sick children.
PAL is again advising its passengers to get to the airport early to avoid missing their flights, considering the heavy traffic around NAIA. Those with international flights should be at the airport at least three hours before departure, and for domestic flights, at least two hours before departure.

Airfare savings: 11 ways to find the best ticket prices
Take a look at these important tips so we could get the best deals on airfares:
Fares on many routes are much more expensive this holiday season than last, but airfares are not static and there are (relative) deals to be had any time of year. Here is Airfarewatchdog.com's best advice for making your airfare dollars go farther no matter what the time of year.
1. Sign up for airlines' e-mail feeds and frequent-flyer programs.
We know, you already get too much e-mail, but the airlines want to develop a relationship with you, so they'll send you special deals, such as 50 percent off promo codes or two-fers, if you sign up. Airline sites sell much more than airfares these days (hotels, rental cars, credit cards and such), and they will entice you to deal direct rather than use a third-party site such as Orbitz. If you're on Twitter, you might also want to follow the airlines' tweets, which they're using to promote exclusive Twitter-only deals. We signed up for Virgin America's frequent-flyer program and because we haven't flown them yet we keep on getting promo code discount offers to give them a try.
2. Sign up for third-party fare alerts.
Many airfare websites offer alerts, and they all have something to offer. Yapta.com lets you track your specific itinerary, down to the flight number and dates of travel, and will let you know if the airline owes you a price-drop refund. Travelocity's easy-to-use FareWatcherPlus lets you track up to 10 routes and you can choose to be notified either when a fare goes down by $25 or more, or when it goes below a price you choose. Orbitz also offers alerts, as does Bing Travel, TripAdivsor.com/flights and FareCompare.com.
One thing to note: These sites use essentially the same airfare data provided by the airlines' computer systems or ITA Software, so they won't include discounted promo-code fares, and most don't include Southwest Airlines. Airfarewatchdog.com includes hand-picked fares on Southwest and Allegiant Airlines.
3. Search airline sites individually, but not exclusively.
As noted above, many airlines reserve their best fares for their own sites. These are different from promo-code fares. International airlines such as Aer Lingus, Iberia and Qantas regularly offer lower fares ($100-$400 less) on their websites compared to what you'll find on Kayak or Orbitz. But don't ignore online travel agencies such as Expedia and Travelocity, because these sites will tell you if it's cheaper flying out on one airline and back on another.
4. Buy hotel plus air packages.
It's often significantly cheaper to buy an air plus hotel package rather than airfare alone, especially for last-minute travel. We often see Travelocity "TotalTrip" offerings, especially on last-minute flights, pop up with hotel plus air for half the price of air alone. Lastminute.com is also a great source for finding last minute packages.
5. Use Priceline for last-minute trips.
If you don't have a 7-, 14- or 21-day advance-purchase window to buy your fare, your best bet is the "name your own price" feature of Priceline.com. You won't know the exact flight times or airline until you pay, but you can save 50 percent or more. Hotwire.com can also be useful for last minute trips.
6. Use consolidators, but beware of the restrictions.
Consolidators specializing in premium cabins on airplanes often have great deals, and the airlines themselves will be heavily discounting their premium cabins, so check the specials on their web sites. Sites like Vayama.com, airfare.com and Asia.com also sometimes sell consolidator fares. Google "airfarewatchdog consolidator fares" to find more information online.
7. Use a flexible date search.
Would you fly in a different month, or a day or two earlier or later, to save hundreds of bucks? If so, learn how to use the flexible travel-date search feature on airline and third-party sites.
8. Consider extra fees before you buy.
If Southwest has a fare of $198 round-trip and United has $148, and you are checking three bags, then Southwest has the lower fare because Southwest charges nothing for the first two checked bags, whereas United would charge you an additional $165 each way for three.
9. Combine two separate fares rather than buying one fare.
If you're flying to Europe, you might save by purchasing one fare from the U.S. to, say, Dublin, and another from Dublin on low-cost Ryanair.com to your next destination. (Just beware of Ryanair's abundant fees.) Same holds true for some destinations in Asia (fly into Singapore and catch low-cost Airasia.com from there) and to some smaller Caribbean destinations via San Juan or the Bahamas.
10. Buy tickets on an airline that will refund the difference if a fare goes down.
If you buy a non-refundable ticket one day and the price drops the next, you can ask for a refund for the difference. Most airlines charge an "administrative" fee of $150 or more, wiping out any savings. Some airlines give you the entire fare difference without a fee. The "nice" airlines are JetBlue, Southwest and Alaska.
11. Check fares several times a day, and don't listen to pundits who predict airfares.
A lot of people say they know where airfares are headed. But airlines are unpredictable, and any expert who claims he or she knows that airfares will be lower or higher in the coming months is suspect. Fares fluctuate throughout the day, and the number of seats offered at the lowest fares also changes frequently. So if you don't like the fare at 10 a.m., check at 2 p.m. or the next day and you may be surprised.

Priceline.com Says Average Christmas-Time Airfare Is Now $422
Take a look at this interesting news article on the prices of airfares during this holidays:
NORWALK, Conn., Dec. 7, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Priceline.com (Nasdaq: PCLN) reported today that the average Christmas-time airfare booked by its customers is now $422, based on all tickets purchased between November 3rd and December 2nd. At this time last year, the average Christmas fare booked by priceline.com customers was $431.
"While there are still tickets available for holiday travel, procrastinating travelers will find their choices much more limited when it comes to getting the lowest-priced tickets," said Priceline Senior Travel Analyst Brian Ek. "Three weeks ago, our Best Days To Fly Calendar showed seven days close-in to the holidays when the lowest-price tickets were available. Today, there are only three – December 20, December 25 (Christmas Day) and December 30. Your other options are to fly the week before Christmas, preferably December 13-16, or to try priceline.com's Name Your Own Price® airline ticketing service, where you can trade some travel flexibility for a discount on your tickets."
To see this year's Priceline Best Days To Fly For The Holidays calendar, and to access Priceline's Name Your Own Price® airline ticketing service, visit: http://travela.priceline.com/promo/deals/winter_holidays/flights.html.
Ek also had some additional tips to help find cheaper airfare and keep those travel costs down after the airfare is booked.
Pick times of the day that are normally less busy. Time of day is important. Travelers will find the most affordable seats departing early in the morning (5-7 a.m.) or late evening (after 8 p.m.). Mid-day (11 a.m. – 4 p.m.) is a bit more expensive, but still reasonable. Most expensive are the peak business travel hours (8-10 a.m. and 5-7 p.m.).
Send those presents on ahead. You see presents; the airlines see extra baggage and maybe some extra fees. Not to mention how unhappy the security screeners will be to see those wrapped boxes. Save yourself the hassle by mailing or shipping presents in advance (after you've wrapped them, of course).
Weigh and measure your baggage. Check your airline's maximum requirements for checked and carry-on bags to make sure you won't incur extra fees. Fees can be up to $25 for the first bag and $35 for the second. Note: baggage fees are charged separately for your outbound and return flights.

How to find the best airfare deals during the holidays
For those travelling this holiday season, here are some tips to get good deals:
Winter airfare sales are heating up this holiday. Airlines are doing what it takes to entice consumers. But you may not want to wait too long to book your flight.
Airline passenger Angelica say: "Flights are really really cheap and affordable right now." Passengers we spoke with say great airfares are available. You just need to know how to find them. Experts say one of the best ways to find deals are to sign up for airline emails and frequent-flier programs. Many times airlines will send you special coupons like 50% off promo codes or two-for-one deals. In fact, Southwest just reached one million fans on Facebook. To celebrate, Facebook Fans can earn triple rewards. Craig Vaughn with Southwest Airlines says: "We're offering 3 times credit on our rapid rewards if you book today for any travel during the month of December."
Some of the best airline deals include hotel packages. It's often significantly cheaper to buy those, rather than airfare alone. Allegiant Air's Sabrina Lopiccolo says the airline does offer a package deal: "We're offering $20 off their air and hotel package. And we actually guarantee the air and hotel package is the lowest they can find."
It's important to remember many airlines reserve their best fares for their own sites. So don't ignore online travel agencies which sometimes tell you if it's cheaper flying out on one airline and back on another.
Other tips from Airfarewatchdog.com: If available, sign up for third-party fare alerts. Many airfare websites offer alerts and they all have something to offer. Remember to also consider the extra fees before you buy. One airline may have higher fare than the next, but which one will cost you more when checking bags? The higher priced airfare may actually be the cheaper option in the end. And don't forget to check fares several times a day. Fares fluctuate throughout the day, and the number of seats offered at the lowest fares also changes frequently

Fly Guy: 10 ways to save on airfare in any season
I've just ran across these cool tips on saving for plane tickets. Read this article by George Hobica from Airfarewatchdog.com:
1. Sign up for the airlines' e-mail feeds and frequent-flier programs
Yes, we know, you already get too much e-mail, but the airlines want to develop a one-on-one relationship with you, so they'll send you special deals, such as 50% off promo codes or two-fers, if you sign up. Airline sites sell much more than airfares these days (hotels, rental cars, credit cards and such), and they will entice you to deal direct rather than use a third party site such as Orbitz. Here are links to US domestic airline sign-up pages and for international sign-ups. If you're on Twitter, you might also want to follow the airlines' tweets, which they're using to promote exclusive Twitter-only deals. We signed up for Virgin America's frequent-flier program and because we haven't flown them yet we keep on getting promo code discount offers to give them a try.
2. Sign up for third-party fare alerts
Many airfare websites offer alerts, and they all have something to offer. Yapta.com lets you track your specific itinerary, down to the flight number and dates of travel, and will let you know if the airline owes you a price-drop refund. Travelocity's easy-to-use FareWatcherPlus lets you track up to ten routes and you can choose to be notified either when a fare goes down by $25 or more, or when it goes below a price you choose. Orbitz also offers alerts, as does Bing Travel, TripAdivsor.com/flights and FareCompare.com. To see how all these services differ, consult this comparison chart.
One thing to note: these sites use essentially the same airfare data provided by the airlines' computer systems or ITA Software (which has been in the news lately as a possible Google acquisition), so they won't include discounted promo code fares, and most don't include Southwest Airlines (airfarewatchdog.com does, however, include hand-picked fares on Southwest and Allegiant Airlines).
3. Search airline sites individually, but not exclusively
As noted above, many airlines have "private" sales, reserving their very best fares for their own sites. These are different from promo code fares. International airlines such as Aer Lingus, Iberia and Qantas regularly offer lower fares (i.e., $100-$400 less) on their own websites compared to what you'll find on Kayak or Orbitz. And yet, you shouldn't ignore online travel agencies such as Expedia and Travelocity, because these sites will tell you if it's cheaper flying out on one airline and back on another. In general, airline sites want you to fly only on their "metal."
4. Buy hotel + air packages
It's often significantly cheaper to buy an air plus hotel package rather than airfare alone, especially for last-minute travel. We often see Travelocity "TotalTrip" offerings, especially on last-minute flights, pop up with hotel plus air for half the price of air alone. Lastminute.com is also a great source for finding last-minute packages.
5. Use Priceline for last-minute trips
If you don't have a 7-, 14-, or 21-day advance purchase window to buy your fare, your best bet is the "name your own price" feature of Priceline.com. True, you won't know the exact flight times or airline you're flying until to pay for your trip, but you can save 50% or more. Hotwire.com can also be useful for last-minute trips.
6. Use consolidators, but beware of the restrictions
Especially with the economic downturn, business and first-class cabins have been emptier in 2010, and deals can be amazing. Consolidators specializing in premium cabins will have some great deals, and the airlines themselves will be heavily discounting their premium cabins, so check the specials on their websites. Sites like Vayama.com, airfare.com and Asia.com also sometimes sell consolidator fares, but read this to understand how these fares work and what the extra restrictions might be.
7. Consider the extra fees before you buy
If Southwest has a fare of $198 round-trip and United has one for $148, and you are checking three bags, then Southwest actually has the lowest fare because Southwest charges nothing for the first two checked bags, whereas United would charge you an additional $165 each way for three. You can find baggage fee charts here.
8. Combine two separate fares rather than buying one fare
If you're flying to a destination in Europe, you might save money by purchasing one fare from the U.S. to, say, Dublin, and another from Dublin onward on Ryanair.com (just beware of Ryanair's onerous fees). The same holds true for some destinations in Asia — fly into Singapore and catch a low cost carrier such as Airasia.com from there, and to some smaller Caribbean destinations via San Juan or the Bahamas. Even domestically, two fares are often less than one, such as the recent scenario where Dallas to Honolulu was selling for $350 round-trip with tax, but Houston/Honolulu was $800. As you're no doubt aware, you can fly from Houston to Dallas for a lot less than $450!
9. Buy tickets on an airline that will refund the difference if a fare goes down
Let's say you've found the lowest fare, and then the day after purchase your non-refundable fare for the same itinerary goes down. If you ask for it you can get a refund for the difference. But some airlines will charge you a costly "administrative" fee of $150 or more, wiping out any savings. Others will give you the entire fare difference without extracting a fee. Currently, the "nice" airlines are JetBlue, Southwest, and Alaska.
10. Check fares several times a day, and don't listen to airfare pundits who predict airfares
A lot of people like to pretend they're clairvoyant, and they know where airfares are headed. But airlines are unpredictable, and any airfare expert who claims he knows that airfares will be lower or higher in the coming months or the coming day is suspect. No one can accurately predict where airfares are heading, any more than we can predict the stock market, because we have no idea when the economy will approve, or how much airlines will cut back capacity or when the next flu epidemic will hit. If we could, we'd all be comfortably retired by now! And although many people swear by Bing.com/Travel's predictions, doesn't it make sense that if Bing really could predict airfare directions accurately that every other site would be out of business by now? But that hasn't happened. Fares fluctuate throughout the day, and the number of seats offered at the lowest fares also changes frequently. So if you don't like the fare at 10 a.m., check at 2 p.m., or the next day and you may be surprised.

1. Sign up for the airlines' e-mail feeds and frequent-flier programs
Yes, we know, you already get too much e-mail, but the airlines want to develop a one-on-one relationship with you, so they'll send you special deals, such as 50% off promo codes or two-fers, if you sign up. Airline sites sell much more than airfares these days (hotels, rental cars, credit cards and such), and they will entice you to deal direct rather than use a third party site such as Orbitz. Here are links to US domestic airline sign-up pages and for international sign-ups. If you're on Twitter, you might also want to follow the airlines' tweets, which they're using to promote exclusive Twitter-only deals. We signed up for Virgin America's frequent-flier program and because we haven't flown them yet we keep on getting promo code discount offers to give them a try.
2. Sign up for third-party fare alerts
Many airfare websites offer alerts, and they all have something to offer. Yapta.com lets you track your specific itinerary, down to the flight number and dates of travel, and will let you know if the airline owes you a price-drop refund. Travelocity's easy-to-use FareWatcherPlus lets you track up to ten routes and you can choose to be notified either when a fare goes down by $25 or more, or when it goes below a price you choose. Orbitz also offers alerts, as does Bing Travel, TripAdivsor.com/flights and FareCompare.com. To see how all these services differ, consult this comparison chart.

Airlines: How not to treat passengers
This is an interesting news article on some airline companies that do not take care of their customers well. Read on:
The way some airlines in the country treat passengers, who book their flights is not only unsatisfactory but also unbecoming in recent times.
Air passengers in Nigeria go through pains not only when buying ticket but also during check-in. The pain experienced by air passengers in Nigeria is more pronounced when airlines cancel flights. What should originally be more expense for the airlines, which cancel flights now shifted to passengers, who are not the cause of the cancellations.
Today, the treatment passengers get from airlines is not in line with the Standard and Recommended Practice (SRP), practised in developed aviation countries. In other part of the world, when an airline cancels its flight, it is the duty of the airline to give passengers refund or rebook or in the alternative ensure that they are well taken care of.
An air passenger by any standard is supposed to be catered to by the airline he bought his ticket from, most especially when the cancellation or fault is from the airline.
But here in Nigeria, the reverse is the case, as airlines treat their passengers without the fear that the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) may sanction them. Though, for some time now the regulatory body has looked the other way, as it has not been able to call airlines such as Aero to order.
There have been a series of complaints by passengers against Aero in particular and other airlines in the country. The complaints range from inability to get seats despite booking on line especially on the so-called promo seats. The ‘I-don’t –care attitude’ has been going on without the Consumer Protection Directorate of the NCAA doing little or nothing to ensure that passengers are well treated.
This treatment has also elicited a lot of comments from passengers, who now see airlines as entities that are only concerned about selling tickets and not taking passengers to their destinations within the scheduled time.
Why is it so difficult for airlines to make refund when they are at fault? Air passengers are usually on their own any time there is what the airlines term ‘technical fault’ with a particular airplane. This practice is fast creating a bad image for airlines such as Aero, which has laboured for 50 years to build a good image for itself.
Only recently, angry Aero Owerri bound passengers, whose flight was cancelled, besieged the airline’s counters at Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA) Terminal 2, Lagos threatening a showdown if they were not flown to Owerri or given a refund.
The passengers, who bought the airline’s tickets to fly from Lagos to Owerri were shocked when the flight was cancelled.
One of the angry and disappointed passengers, who spoke to our correspondent, said that the flight from Lagos to Owerri was not just cancelled but that before the airline cancelled the flight, they were delayed and no official of the organisation was on hand to explain why it was so.
The passengers blocked the entrance of Aero’s ticketing office at the MMA2 demanding a refund or to be rebooked, when efforts to know from the airline why the Owerri bound flight was delayed and later cancelled proved abortive.
One of the affected passengers, who narrated their ordeal on the condition of anonymity, claimed that the airline told them that the Owerri flight had been moved from 2.20 pm to 3.pm but only for the airline to tell the passengers that the flight had been cancelled without prior information as to what was going on.
At MMA2, the passengers did not only create a scene, but they were heard raining abuses on the airline officials, who were making efforts to resolve the issue.
The passenger also alleged that no reason was given for the cancellation and that the airline just told the passengers that the flight had been cancelled.
The affected Aero passengers were not only angry because the flight was cancelled but that the airline rebooked them for Port Harcourt when they bought tickets to fly from Lagos to Owerri.
Aero did this without any arrangement of how the passengers would move from Port Harcourt to Owerri. What would it cost Aero to provide transport for the passengers from Port Harcourt to Owerri? How will Aero feel if, for instance, passengers who bought tickets to fly from Lagos to Benin now force the airline to take them to Abuja? Since the delay and eventual cancellation of the Owerri flight was Aero’s fault, the airline should be responsible for transporting the passengers from Port Harcourt to Owerri.
According to one of the passengers, “I don’t know anybody in Port Harcourt. Who will pay the transport fare from Port Harcourt to Owerri”, he asked.
On that same day, the airline was also alleged to have delayed its Calabar flight to from 2pm to 5pm and this further made situation tense.
“Look, this is injustice without regard for people’s right. How can they come and tell us now that they are cancelling a 2 pm flight by some minutes before the hour of two and expect people not to be rowdy and even insult them,” one of the affected passengers lamented.
“I will collect my money and to be frank, I think almost everybody here is waiting to do the same. If they planned not to go at least they would have given us a heads up before now and then we can plan, right now I am supposed to be in Owerri but look at me,” he added.
Another passenger, who could not understand why the airline had to treat passengers this way, said that he booked the flight online and did not even understand what the airline is saying.
According to him, “I booked my flight online and the lady was just telling me to wait as if I was not supposed to be a bona fide passenger on that flight even after I showed her my ticket. I am just waiting to see what she would tell me about this breach of agreement.”
Few days after passengers of Aero went through a harrowing experience, a passenger, Mr. Adeola Osifowora, who was to fly an Air Nigeria flight 44 Abuja to Lagos, said the flight from Abuja to Lagos was scheduled to take off a 7. 25 pm but that it was delayed till 9.30 p.m.
He added that as the passengers were about to board, the airline asked them to hold on the excuse that the pilot needed to put off the plane’s engine and that 30 minutes after he put the engine, on for the passengers to board.
“We boarded after and the flight took off and t 20 minutes after takeoff, the pilot said there was cabin pressure and that the plane could not attain 25000 heights”.
According to Osifowora, “It was a terrible experience and there was no one to even attend to us. We were only rebooked for the next morning”.
One is not saying that the airline should not take precautionary measures to ensure the safety of passengers by returning to take off point as was done in flight VK 44 incident, what the passengers are saying is the treatment meted out to them when the flight was aborted was not the best the airline could offer.
According to him, though the airline rebooked them for early morning flight, the attitude of the airline officials when the airline returned to Abuja was not satisfactory.
The treatment exhibited by airlines towards passenger is not restricted to the airlines mentioned above. There are other instances where passengers simply accept what befell them and keep quiet. A time airline officials treat passengers as if they are doing the passengers on their flight a favour.
The airlines should realise that they are in existence because passengers patronise them. Even if the airlines are carrying out cargo operations, if people do not send in cargo, the airline automatically stops operations.
The NCAA Consumer Protection Unit must address this issue, to assure air passengers that it can protect their interest any day any time and equally encourage them to continue to fly.

Shopping for airfare deals
Read this special article from Tom on how to get good deals for your air fares:
TOM PARSONS www.bestfares.com Tom Parsons is CEO of Bestfares.com.
You might wonder how you can beat the price on a Southwest airfare sale, and I have an answer for you. If you act fast, you can get a coupon for 15 percent off to use on a future fare. Customers who spend $20 or more at Cost Plus World Market through Nov. 6 can qualify for 15 percent off a Southwest flight. Flights must be purchased by Dec. 1 for travel through Jan. 25.
I made a trip to World Market, as it is known in Dallas, and made my $20 purchase. If you take advantage of this deal, note that gift cards, alcohol and kitchen electronics don't qualify toward the $20 minimum.
The receipt had a numbered bar code at the bottom, which I used to register for the offer online. Sometimes it can take days to get the airline code after you register for a promotion, but Southwest responded in three minutes. Once I got my promo code, I tested it and found I could use the discount for up to eight passengers on the same reservation. (You can book a maximum of eight tickets at a time on Southwest's website.)
If you go to World Market with a spouse or a friend and spend $40, split your purchases so you can get more promo codes. If Southwest runs a whopper of a sale in the next month, you'll be sitting pretty.
You must be one of the first 25,000 people to register for the offer online to receive the discount code from Southwest, and you have to make a World Market purchase before you can register. There are a number of blackout dates around Thanksgiving and Christmas, so don't expect to use this for a holiday flight. Visit www.cpwmswa.com for details.

Offloading Issue In Manila Needs To Be Clarified
Here's an interesting article about offloading woes encountered by Filipino travellers in Brunei. Read on:
Bandar Seri Begawan - Following complaints on offloading in Manila, the Philippine Embassy reiterated it is still clarifying matters through proper channels as to what travel documents will satisfy Philippine immigration authorities to allow Filipino travellers to fly to Brunei.
The embassy said it is helping to prepare travel documents needed by Filipinos planning to visit Brunei as required by other government agencies in the Philippines.
"It is the Philippine Bureau of Immigration which requires the statutory declaration (issued by the Brunei Magistrate) and the affidavit of support and consent (issued by the Philippine Embassy) to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy in Brunei," according to Atty Neil Brillantes, legal officer at the Philippine Embassy.
While the statutory declaration issued by the Brunei Magistrate costs $7, the affidavit of support and consent from the embassy costs $57.50.
The authentication of the document costs another $57.50.
It is advisable and cheaper to get the Brunei Magistrate's document and have it authenticated at the Philippine Embassy.
Original documents have to be sent to the Philippines. Scanned documents or facsimiles are not accepted and could lead to offloading.
Filipino travellers to a visa-free Asean country like Brunei have repeatedly complained the Philippine Embassy that their right to travel guaranteed by the Philippine Constitution is denied by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration whose mandate is to keep out undesirable aliens.
They said despite having valid passports, entry visas and statutory declarations, they are denied to board their air flights.
In answer to an inquiry from the Philippine Embassy on the offloading issues affecting visitors from the Philippines, Cebu Pacific Vice President for Marketing and Distribution responded:
"CEB's forfeiture policy for offloaded guests due to lack of valid or required documents applies to all passengers, regardless of the fare class.
"It is the responsibility of the passenger to secure valid travel documents.
"The airline's priority is to transport the passenger from his or her point of origin to the point of destination.
"A promo fare is not re-routable, non-refundable, but re-bookable subject to penalties and charges.
"Low-cost carriers worldwide has strict rebooking policies because it discourages guests from changing their flights at the last minute.
"The closer the travel date is, the harder it is to sell that seat, and the harder for the low cost carriers to operate successfully.
"The earlier they book for their flight, the lower the fare they can avail.
Rebooking must be done more than 24 hours before the flight."
Six foreign air carriers which protested the offloading of Filipino passengers with valid passports said they are losing at least 2,000 passengers a week, at a cost of $350 per passenger for each ticket worth $800 one way to the Arab countries, according to Manila media reports.
"The Etihad, Gulf Air, Qatar, Emirates, Saudia and Kuwait Airlines said they are losing hundreds of dollars everyday due to the arbitrary decision of airport immigration officials to offload these passengers.
"The foreign air carriers said the seats reserved for the offloaded passengers could no longer be sold at such short notice.
"They added that food and beverages prepared for these booked passengers also go to waste.
"Once dozens of passengers are offloaded, the airline officials said, there is an additional loss in income in terms of additional fuel loaded to the airplane that compensates for the lost weight-and-balance requirement for every flight is looked into, and the weight of any offloaded passenger or cargo is compensated for by the fuel load.
"According to the Mideast carriers, some of those who were denied boarding were workers carrying overseas employment certificates.
"However, on their return to their worksites in the Middle East, Manila immigration authorities barred them from boarding their flights without offering any explanation.
"The Bureau of Immigration said although they have profiled a traveller as a would-be tourist, they could simply deny him or her chance to leave the country if they suspect such person could become a full-time illegal worker," according to Manila media reports. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

Travel Troubles Resolved by Guru
Take a look at this article where Peter Greenberg tries to cite some problems encountered during air travels and how you can avoid them. Read on:
(CBS) Ever been hosed by the airlines? Dinged at the car rental counter? Treated unfairly by customer service, or worse, can't even track down the customer service department?
CBS News Travel Editor Peter Greenberg fielded "Early Show" viewers' complaints and explained how you can avoid the problems.
My Flight Left When?
Frequent traveler Mareya booked her Virgin America flight to Orlando through Travelocity. Except when she showed up at the airport, her flight had already departed, an hour earlier. She was forced to pay out-of-pocket for a new one-way ticket and reroute through a different city.
According to Virgin America, that flight had a schedule change that was made a month before the departure date. Standard practice is to contact all passengers directly who booked through Virgin America, either by phone or e-mail, and to alert all third-party online ticket agents, like Travelocity, who then contact their own customers.
When Mareya contacted Virgin America's guest relations department, she was told that Travelocity was, in fact, alerted to the change via e-mail, and no refund could be provided. Travelocity, however, told her they had never received such an e-mail from Virgin America. Unfortunately, she was the one paying the price.
After we contacted them, both Virgin America and Travelocity admitted there was a "highly unusual" breakdown in communications in this case. Both parties have offered their apologies. Travelocity has offered Mareya a refund of $279.40, plus additional expenses of $150, plus a $250 promo code for future booking.
The lesson? Always confirm your flight at least 24 hours prior to departure. All the major airlines have flight status options on their websites, and FlightStats.com enables you to check flights by route, airport and flight number.

VIRGIN AMERICA TOUCHES DOWN IN ORLANDO
For Filipinos in the US, you may want to check this out:
Virgin America Marks New Service to the Capital of Family Fun by Celebrating Family Vacations Everywhere
Virgin America, the low-fare airline with stylish service and fun amenities for kids and parents alike, today celebrates its new nonstop service to Orlando International Airport (MCO) from both Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The airline toasts its expansion to the newest city in its growing network, with a festive Orlando gate celebration to welcome guests on one of its first flights. Upon touchdown in Orlando, guests will receive a red carpet “family vacation” themed welcome party hosted by Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, Orange County Florida Mayor Richard T. Crotty, Virgin America CEO David Cush and Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson.
“Orlando is a strong year-round tourist and convention travel destination. We couldn’t be more pleased to be here and thank the airport, City and County for welcoming us with open arms,” said David Cush, Virgin America President and Chief Executive Officer. “With a totally unique service that offers the best in comfort, design and entertainment — we hope our flights will encourage travelers to kick off their vacations a few hours early.”
To mark its new service to the capital of family fun, Virgin America has teamed up with Awkward Family Photos to encourage families to upload their “most awkward” vacation photos for a chance to upgrade to the ultimate family getaway. The public can vote on their favorite photos until 11:59pm PDT tonight at: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/virginamerica. By voting, visitors get a 33.3 percent discount off their next family booking on Orlando flights (parties of three to six people, restrictions, taxes and fees apply).* An early winning family joins the celebratory flight today (decked out in their family vacation finest), and will enjoy accommodation compliments of Hilton, located in the WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort hotel. “We are delighted to welcome Virgin America Airlines to Orlando,” said Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer. “Virgin America’s daily nonstop flights from Orlando to San Francisco and Los Angeles further strengthen our position as the world’s premier vacation destination. Equally important, these nonstop connections to the West Coast give our residents more flight options, help us attract new companies to Orlando and help fuel the continued diversification of Central Florida's economy.”
Today, family winners and commercial flight guests are being whisked in style from Los Angeles to Orlando under Virgin America’s signature moodlighting, treated to food and cocktails from the airline’s award-winning menu and entertained by the largest in-flight entertainment platform in the skies. Upon touch-down in Orlando, guests will be welcomed by Sir Richard Branson — who will be getting into the Orlando family vacation spirit, decked out in tourist attire — while marshalling in the new Airbus A320 aircraft. After arrival, flight guests will enjoy a red carpet celebration event — complete with a photo booth at the gate to capture those very first vacation moments.
Virgin America’s new service links the West Coast to The City Beautiful via daily nonstop flights from both San Francisco (SFO-MCO) and Los Angeles (LAX-MCO). Virgin America’s Orlando service started on October 6, 2010, but the official celebration of the service occurs today – October 13, 2010. The airline is offering low fares from $119 (restrictions, taxes and fees apply) on its Orlando flights.**
"I am very pleased to hear of Virgin America's decision to establish direct flights from Orlando International Airport to San Francisco and Los Angeles, California. Direct flights to important destinations provide the traveler with an enhanced level of service. Both the travelers to Orlando and to the West Coast will benefit from the new service as they will not have to deal with the frustrations of flight connections in other cities. On behalf of the travelers I say 'thank you' to Virgin America!" said Orange County Mayor Richard Crotty.
Virgin America offers custom-designed leather seats, an award-winning on-demand menu, beautifully designed moodlit cabins and touch-screen entertainment at every seat. Virgin America is the only U.S. airline to offer a touch-screen kid’s entertainment platform at every seat with videogames, music, movies and even the ability for parents or flight crew to set G-rated parental controls. The touch-screen Red™ platform offers 30 films, live and premium TV, Google Maps, music videos, videogames, seat-to-seat chat, a 3000 MP3 library, a first-of-its-kind digital Shop section and an on-demand menu — so guests can order a cocktail or meal from their seatback any time during a flight. In May 2009, Virgin America became the first airline to offer in-flight internet on every flight.
As of today, Virgin America is also offering “first time” flyers one more reason to try out its new service: a twenty percent off offer on all its Orlando flights now through October 31, 2010.*** Travelers can visit www.virginamerica.com/promotions/orlando to score the discount. Once there, they can also enter the "Beginners Get Lucky" contest by sharing why they want a first-time flight. The contest will run from October 14-October 31, 2010, and one cheeky winner a day will score a free Virgin America flight over the next two weeks. “The addition of Virgin America to the services offered at Orlando International Airport helps us solidify our standing as the Florida airport with the most domestic nonstop services. We are honored and pleased to be a part of Virgin America’s growing network of destinations, which with the inclusion of Orlando, brings their total to twelve with more on the way,” said Phil Brown, Executive Director of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
Since its 2007 launch, Virgin America has swept the major reader-based travel awards, including “Best Domestic Airline” in the Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards and "Best Domestic Airline" in Travel + Leisure’s 2008, 2009 and 2010 World's Best Awards.
“The addition of Virgin America to the Orlando air service mix provides greater options for our business and leisure travelers. And the unique experience that they provide to their customers fits well with Orlando’s focus on the traveler’s overall destination experience,” said Gary Sain, President and CEO of the Orlando/Orange County Convention and Visitors Bureau, Inc.
Virgin America continues to experience major growth with the addition of four new destinations in 2010. In July, the airline announced plans to order 40 additional new aircraft. Virgin America flies to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, Washington D.C., Seattle, Las Vegas, San Diego, Boston, Fort Lauderdale, Toronto, Orlando, Dallas-Fort Worth (starting December 2010), Los Cabos (starting December 16, 2010) and Cancun (starting January 19, 2011). Virgin America’s fleet is one of the youngest in the U.S. — and is up to 25 percent more fuel efficient than the average fleet operating domestically. The airline currently operates 29 Airbus A320-family aircraft.

Head to Prague or Paris, or stay close to home this weekend
Got this news article from washingtonian post. Read on to find out what promo Southwest has upon merging with another low-cost carrier AirTran. Take note of the promo code mentioned below to avail of their discounted fares.
an excerpt from Sophie Gilbert's travel news:
Welcome to October, Washingtonian jet-setters! In case you missed it, the biggest travel news of the week is Southwest Airlines’ purchase of AirTran, a fellow low-fare airline. We’ve always been big fans of AirTran (specifically the low-cost-upgrade opportunities on longer flights), so we’re uncertain what the merger means for the Atlanta-based airline. CNN seems to think it’ll be good news for passengers—Southwest has lower fees than AirTran and doesn’t charge for bags, in addition to being one of the top-rated airlines for customer satisfaction.
We’re suckers for fall foliage, and this slide show from Budget Travel is too good to miss. If you have amazing photos of colorful trees in Washington, we’d love to see them. E-mail them to travel@washingtonian.com and we’ll select the best for an upcoming gallery. If you feel like going on a leaf-peeping pilgrimage, Shenandoah National Park Lodging is offering a Scenic Savings Package through November 4 at Big Meadows and through November 24 at Skyland Resort. For $150, you can get overnight lodging at either resort, breakfast for two, and a $30 retail voucher. Click here for details.
Farther afield, there are two tempting European deals this week. First, OpenSkies, the low-cost business-class airline, is offering one-way flights to Paris for $675, excluding taxes and fees (around $115 per person). Flights have no more than 84 passengers per plane and offer gourmet French cuisine (designed by Michel Richard of Citronelle and Central) and wine selections. The only catch is that the price depends on two people booking flights, so you’ll have to take a date to the most romantic city in the world, but is that such a hardship?
Second, Prague is one of Europe’s most popular cities, but it’s also often neglected in favor of the Italy-France-Spain trifecta. But as a tourist destination, Prague has something for everyone: history, culture, public transportation, sports, and lots of beer. Travelzoo has an amazing Prague deal this week, including six nights’ accommodation at the Juno Hotel, flights, breakfast, and all surcharges for $762 per person, flying out of Washington (airport taxes are an additional $155). Travel is valid from November through March, and you must mention the promo code TZPG1 when booking.

an excerpt from Sophie Gilbert's travel news:
Welcome to October, Washingtonian jet-setters! In case you missed it, the biggest travel news of the week is Southwest Airlines’ purchase of AirTran, a fellow low-fare airline. We’ve always been big fans of AirTran (specifically the low-cost-upgrade opportunities on longer flights), so we’re uncertain what the merger means for the Atlanta-based airline. CNN seems to think it’ll be good news for passengers—Southwest has lower fees than AirTran and doesn’t charge for bags, in addition to being one of the top-rated airlines for customer satisfaction.
We’re suckers for fall foliage, and this slide show from Budget Travel is too good to miss. If you have amazing photos of colorful trees in Washington, we’d love to see them. E-mail them to travel@washingtonian.com and we’ll select the best for an upcoming gallery. If you feel like going on a leaf-peeping pilgrimage, Shenandoah National Park Lodging is offering a Scenic Savings Package through November 4 at Big Meadows and through November 24 at Skyland Resort. For $150, you can get overnight lodging at either resort, breakfast for two, and a $30 retail voucher. Click here for details.
Farther afield, there are two tempting European deals this week. First, OpenSkies, the low-cost business-class airline, is offering one-way flights to Paris for $675, excluding taxes and fees (around $115 per person). Flights have no more than 84 passengers per plane and offer gourmet French cuisine (designed by Michel Richard of Citronelle and Central) and wine selections. The only catch is that the price depends on two people booking flights, so you’ll have to take a date to the most romantic city in the world, but is that such a hardship?

Time to snatch those winter deals is now
Here's a very helpful trip for Filipinos in the US as the winter season approaches. Take a look at this article:
Thanksgiving or Christmas in August? Well, when it comes to searching for reasonable airfares, the time may actually be perfect to do that holiday and winter shopping.
First the bad news: Airlines are now generating revenue from every possible source, and at least two, American and Delta, have already implemented peak-travel surcharges for November 19-29 and December 17-31, excluding Christmas Day.
The deals are certainly not happening like they were in 2009, when the industry was reeling from the recession.
According to Priceline's data on 2009, Thanksgiving fares started to increase after mid-September and didn't look back. Christmas fares spiked in mid-September, then dropped before climbing back up in the beginning of October.
This year, with reduced capacity (fewer planes and flights), waiting until the last minute to purchase your holiday tickets probably won't get you the best fares.
But the good news is that the carriers and other travel providers are trying to lock in travelers by rolling out the deals NOW.
Tip: Most of the time, the best time to travel is when everyone else isn't. And in my opinion, holidays like Thanksgiving are nothing more than an obligatory dysfunctional family get-together. So instead, look for deals that fall around the holidays, but not ON the holidays.
Several airlines have launched fare sales through mid-December.
For example, American Airlines is offering a domestic fare sale from $44 each way through December 15, but you must book by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on August 24. We're talking savings on travel between major cities like Atlanta to Miami from $69 each way, and Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale from $89 each way. link=http://www.aa.com>www.aa.com
Always, always read the fine print before you book: Those advertised prices are for one-way travel, but you're required to purchase a round-trip ticket. Blackout dates apply over Thanksgiving and other peak days (specifically Nov. 20, 23-24, 27, and 29). Advance booking is required, taxes and fees are not included, and for the lowest fare, travel must take place Monday through Thursday and Saturday.
Budget carrier AirTran has a similar deal, but with one twist: no round-trip purchase is required. Book by Aug. 24 for travel by December 15, and prices start from $49 each way. Blackout dates are Nov. 23-24 and 27-29, and of course, the standard advance purchase and weekday travel apply for the lowest fares. (Note that sale dates for certain routes may apply.) www.airtran.com/sale
Delta has also launched a fare sale, from Atlanta and Minneapolis. Same deal here: Book round-trip tickets by Aug. 24 for travel by Dec. 15, with blackout dates Nov. 23-24 and 26-29. If you can deal with the restrictions, you'll be rewarded with fares as low as $44 each way between Minneapolis and Milwaukee, and Atlanta to Chicago from $60 each way.
Or, you can skip seeing your demented uncle and crazy aunt altogether and head to Europe this fall! Delta is offering sales from New York and Atlanta to major European cities from $239 and $339 respectively, each way. www.delta.com/planning_reservations/deals_offers/index.jsp
Continental has a similar sale if you're traveling BusinessFirst to Europe -- and this deal includes holiday dates! Departure must take place Nov. 21 - 27, 2010, returning Nov. 25 - Dec. 1; or depart Dec. 20, 2010 - Jan. 7, 2011, and return Dec. 24 - Jan. 13. This deal is valid on Continental as well as its partners, such as Air Canada, Lufthansa and United. www.continental.com/web/en-us/content/deals/offers/businessfirst.aspx
My advice: There will likely be one more airfare sale that will sneak out on Sept. 8, two days after Labor Day. But after that, my guess is there won't be another major airline sale for the rest of the year that will apply to holiday travel.
Then, there are the deals being rolled out by specific properties, based on the same philosophy that you'll be rewarded if they can lock in your business now.
Several RockResort properties, including The Lodge at Vail, Keystone, The Osprey at Beaver Creek, and Hotel Jerome in Aspen, are offering a free night of lodging during the holidays when you book by Oct. 31, 2010. The Holidays on Us program means you can book two nights and get the third for free on Thanksgiving Day, MLK Day, and Easter Sunday; buy three nights and get the fourth free over Christmas Day, Valentine's Day or President's Day.
For example, at Keystone, a studio condominium rental that falls over Dec. 21-26 will cost about $664.64. When you factor in the one free night, that works out to $119 per night for five nights. Not a bad deal, especially when you consider the package also includes free activities like admission to an ice-skating rink, a snow bike lesson and yoga classes. www.holidaysonus.com
And, going back to the theory that if the going gets tough, the tough go to Europe, Uniworld is offering discounts for early birds. Book a European holiday river cruise by Aug. 31, 2010 and save up to $300 per person. uniworld.com/Destinations/Offers
If you're in the market for cruises, here's what you want to do: Sail in early December.
Here's why:
A quick look on cruise discounter CruiseBrothers.com shows that a seven-night Western Caribbean cruise on Royal Caribbean starts at an ultra-affordable $569, departing in the "dead week" after Thanksgiving, and from from $588 on Dec. 5. However, a holiday cruise departing Dec. 26 doubles to $1,119 per person.
Similarly, a seven-night Mexico cruise on Princess starts from just $499, Dec. 4 and Dec. 11, and jumps up to $799 on Dec. 22 and Dec. 29. If you can swing early December travel (that's what vacation days are for!), then that's the time to get more bang for your buck.
As you might expect, hard-hit Gulf Coast properties are also discounting to attract visitors. Sandestin Resort in Florida is bringing back its popular "Buy Two, Get One Free Night" promotion for winter travel, which gets you a 33 percent savings. In addition, you can sign up for the property's e-mail alerts to be the first to know about its winter 48-hour sales, and expect even deeper discounts during its slower period in late November and early December. www.sandestin.com
New Orleans celebrates all December long with Christmas New Orleans Style, featuring caroling and choirs, cooking demos and restaurant price-fixed menus and, most importantly, hotel discounts. For example, last year The Roosevelt, a Waldorf Astoria property, offered rates from $139 for a deluxe guest room and from $199 for a luxury suit between Dec. 9 - 29, and rates this year are expected to be comparable. Hotel Monteleone is offering as much as 50 percent off normal rates starting from $99 a night, based on availability between Nov. 22 and Dec. 29. www.neworleansonline.com/christmas
In the mood for a Caribbean getaway? Sandals has its popular "Save up to 65 percent" sale in Jamaica: Book before Aug. 26 for a minimum of three nights for travel between Sept. 1 and Dec. 28 (blackout dates Feb. 19-26, 2011 may apply) and save between 55-65 percent. www.sandals.com/promos/hot-sale
Tip: When it comes to booking hotels, don't be afraid to go beyond the quoted price. Pick up the phone and talk to a human being to ask for unadvertised value-added perks. Ask targeted questions like, "Can my kids eat free? Can kids stay free?" If it's an urban hotel, ask for free parking, which can add up to as much as $50 a night in major cities. After all, if you don't ask...
Last, but certainly not least, there are the destinations where the U.S. dollar is gaining strength.
Right now, the exchange rate in Europe is about $1.26 to the euro. Here's hoping that remains the same into winter, when much of Europe is on sale.
For example: Berlin offers exceptional value in the off-season. Although you may have to deal with cold weather, winter in Berlin means Christmas markets, fixed-price restaurant menus as part of the Culinary Wintermagic program, and various festivals, concerts and other cultural events. If that's not enough for you, a recent study from Hotels.com comparing hotel rates paid from January-June 2009 showed that Berlin's average hotel rate of €76 (euros) per night is significantly lower than other major cities: (New York paid an average of €139, while the rate was an average of €108 in London, and €111 in Paris.)
And one of my favorite examples of value for your travel dollars is Argentina, where the dollar continues to be king. At current rates, it's about three-to-one, which means exceptional deals whether you're hanging out in Buenos Aires or heading west to wine country in Mendoza.

Thanksgiving or Christmas in August? Well, when it comes to searching for reasonable airfares, the time may actually be perfect to do that holiday and winter shopping.
First the bad news: Airlines are now generating revenue from every possible source, and at least two, American and Delta, have already implemented peak-travel surcharges for November 19-29 and December 17-31, excluding Christmas Day.
The deals are certainly not happening like they were in 2009, when the industry was reeling from the recession.
According to Priceline's data on 2009, Thanksgiving fares started to increase after mid-September and didn't look back. Christmas fares spiked in mid-September, then dropped before climbing back up in the beginning of October.
This year, with reduced capacity (fewer planes and flights), waiting until the last minute to purchase your holiday tickets probably won't get you the best fares.
But the good news is that the carriers and other travel providers are trying to lock in travelers by rolling out the deals NOW.
Tip: Most of the time, the best time to travel is when everyone else isn't. And in my opinion, holidays like Thanksgiving are nothing more than an obligatory dysfunctional family get-together. So instead, look for deals that fall around the holidays, but not ON the holidays.
Several airlines have launched fare sales through mid-December.
For example, American Airlines is offering a domestic fare sale from $44 each way through December 15, but you must book by 11:59 p.m. Central Time on August 24. We're talking savings on travel between major cities like Atlanta to Miami from $69 each way, and Dallas to Ft. Lauderdale from $89 each way. link=http://www.aa.com>www.aa.com
Always, always read the fine print before you book: Those advertised prices are for one-way travel, but you're required to purchase a round-trip ticket. Blackout dates apply over Thanksgiving and other peak days (specifically Nov. 20, 23-24, 27, and 29). Advance booking is required, taxes and fees are not included, and for the lowest fare, travel must take place Monday through Thursday and Saturday.
Budget carrier AirTran has a similar deal, but with one twist: no round-trip purchase is required. Book by Aug. 24 for travel by December 15, and prices start from $49 each way. Blackout dates are Nov. 23-24 and 27-29, and of course, the standard advance purchase and weekday travel apply for the lowest fares. (Note that sale dates for certain routes may apply.) www.airtran.com/sale
Delta has also launched a fare sale, from Atlanta and Minneapolis. Same deal here: Book round-trip tickets by Aug. 24 for travel by Dec. 15, with blackout dates Nov. 23-24 and 26-29. If you can deal with the restrictions, you'll be rewarded with fares as low as $44 each way between Minneapolis and Milwaukee, and Atlanta to Chicago from $60 each way.
Or, you can skip seeing your demented uncle and crazy aunt altogether and head to Europe this fall! Delta is offering sales from New York and Atlanta to major European cities from $239 and $339 respectively, each way. www.delta.com/planning_reservations/deals_offers/index.jsp
Continental has a similar sale if you're traveling BusinessFirst to Europe -- and this deal includes holiday dates! Departure must take place Nov. 21 - 27, 2010, returning Nov. 25 - Dec. 1; or depart Dec. 20, 2010 - Jan. 7, 2011, and return Dec. 24 - Jan. 13. This deal is valid on Continental as well as its partners, such as Air Canada, Lufthansa and United. www.continental.com/web/en-us/content/deals/offers/businessfirst.aspx
My advice: There will likely be one more airfare sale that will sneak out on Sept. 8, two days after Labor Day. But after that, my guess is there won't be another major airline sale for the rest of the year that will apply to holiday travel.
Then, there are the deals being rolled out by specific properties, based on the same philosophy that you'll be rewarded if they can lock in your business now.
Several RockResort properties, including The Lodge at Vail, Keystone, The Osprey at Beaver Creek, and Hotel Jerome in Aspen, are offering a free night of lodging during the holidays when you book by Oct. 31, 2010. The Holidays on Us program means you can book two nights and get the third for free on Thanksgiving Day, MLK Day, and Easter Sunday; buy three nights and get the fourth free over Christmas Day, Valentine's Day or President's Day.
For example, at Keystone, a studio condominium rental that falls over Dec. 21-26 will cost about $664.64. When you factor in the one free night, that works out to $119 per night for five nights. Not a bad deal, especially when you consider the package also includes free activities like admission to an ice-skating rink, a snow bike lesson and yoga classes. www.holidaysonus.com
