Free Tickets - Travel Deals

This one is designed for all you government officials, military personnel and hardcore adventure travelers reading this blog. Thank you all for being the good people that you are. Your reward is a 10,000 miles bonus the next time you fly the new direct flight from Washington, DC to Kuwait City. You read that correctly. A direct flight from DC to Kuwait. That is 6,500 miles without stopping. Simply amazing.

The way I see it, if you purchase a round trip ticket and simply get there and turn around you’ll earn 13,000 miles from the flight and another 10,000 miles from the bonus. That means that not only can you experience all there is to experience in Kuwait (I’m told the country has excellent a/c), but you can almost pick up a free ticket in the process. Sweet.

Here are the details.

Aloha Airlines – Great New Look, Same Great Fares to Hawaii!

We love birthday gifts - even when it’s not our birthday! July 26, 2006 is Aloha Airlines’ 60th birthday and on that day, they are giving out birthday presents to all of their passengers.

The Aloha Airlines Our Birthday is Your Birthday Giveaway entitles every passenger traveling on a paid ticket to receive a certificate that can be redeemed for a free interisland roundtrip ticket on Aloha when they fly on their birthday in 2007.

“We’re grateful for all the support we’ve gotten over the years,” said David A. Banmiller, Aloha’s president and chief executive officer. “An airline doesn’t enjoy the privilege of providing continuous service for 60 years without the wholehearted backing of the communities it serves. So we’re thanking the people who fly us on our birthday by celebrating their birthday.”

To book a flight leaving on July 26, head to Aloha Airlines – Great New Look, Same Great Fares to Hawaii!

Often times, after struggling to book a frequent flyer ticket, we’ve had to ask ourselves - ok, there just wher CAN my seemingly worthless miles get me?

To answer that question and to make it even easier for you to redeem your miles for award travel, United has compiled a list of destinations where United flies that have additional space available for travel July 1 through August 31, 2006. Keep in mind that seats are limited. The sooner you book, the better chance you have at securing your seat to locations from Amsterdam, Hamilton, Dallas Fort Worth, Las Vegas and San Francisco to great destinations like Chicago, San Francisco and Sydney. Where will your miles take you?
