Southwest has Thrown Down the Air Fare Gauntlet! $49 One-Way to Lots of Destinations ~ 3 Days to Book.

  Bookmark and Share

                 

Great Airfare Deals on Hundreds of Routes!
If you are looking to travel in the coming months, today is a great day to book!  Southwest just announced they are putting more than 70 cities and 1,300 routes on sale for three days, starting today. Of course, not to be outdone, United, American, Continental and several other carriers have all matched the sale with almost identical promotions of their own (some even lower).

Fares are starting at $49 one-way and rates are valid for travel until June 7th. When comparing airlines, be sure to compare relevant fees to make sure you are getting the best deal (see price comparison tip below).

Note: To get the special pricing, you will need to book by
Thursday, March 31, 2011 for  flights through June 7th.

Details, Details
How:
Go to American‘s, Southwest‘s, and United’s sale and
    compare prices for the destination and dates of interest. Seats
    and availability are limited, so being flexible with your travel
    dates and times will likely help you find the lowest fares as you
   comparison shop.
When: Special fares are good for travel through June 7, 2011 with
    black out dates of April 21, 25 / May 26, 30, 31. You must book
    by Thursday, March 31, 2011 to get the special fare. Book as soon
    as possible for best travel dates and options.
Price comparison tip:  When comparing different carriers, be sure
    to add in relevant fees when trying to get the lowest overall cost. 
    Airline fees like checked baggage and food can quickly add-up if you
    aren’t careful! Download the FREE & handy  Ultimate Guide to
    Airline Fees  from Smarter Travel which quickly compares
   the various added fees of most U.S. carriers.

P.S.  If you haven’t already taken advantage of the FREE invitation to join SniqueAway, be sure to check them out (read about our personal experience here to learn more!).  Combining a cheap 4-5 star Hotel Deal through them with one of the low airline fares could make for a luxurious, but cheap spring or early summer vacation get-away! 

Enjoy and Share! :)

FREE Fine Art Program for New Parents at the Amon Carter Museum ~ Friday, March 25th

Bookmark and Share

I hope you had a nice spring break! Thanks for staying tuned while we took off the week to tackle a long list of  “to-dos” (it feels REALLY GREAT to see a shorter list!).  It wasn’t all work, though.  We managed to sneak in some fun things including a visit to the FW Botanic Gardens (the flowering trees at the Japanese Gardens were amazing), as well as a tour of the impressive  Hudson River School exhibit at the Amon Carter Museum.  We are glad to be back in gear and would love to hear about your spring break, too! :)

 Speaking of fun things to do at the Carter Museum…
