What is the best air company for cheap flights to Romania from the UK?
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at

I need to fly there in december
I have found two good connections (flights) from the UK to Romania – one direct and one with a short stop in Germany.
One is from London Luton airport and the other one is from London Stansted airport (http://www.low-cost-airline-guide.com/en/low_cost_airline_routes.htm)
London Luton – Bucharest Baneasa is operated by Wizz Air. (http://www.low-cost-airline-guide.com/)
The route is operated every day: Luton (Departure): 8:00 – Bucharest (Arrival): 13:15
Bucharest (Departure): 6:00 – Luton (Arrival): 7:30
Prices. It depends when you book – the earlier the better but I would say that the average price, for this time of the year) is around 80 pounds one way, on Wizz Air
London Stansted – Bucharest Banease route is operated by Germanwings (http://www.low-cost-airline-guide.com/)
The flights are not direct however – there is a stop over in Cologne-Bonn
The airline operates this route on Saturday and Tuesday (London – Bucharest) and Saturday and Thursday (Bucharest London) and the price also varies depending on the time of booking but I would again, put in around 80 pounds on way.
The timetable for the route is:
London – Bucharest (Sat, Tue) dep. 7:50 – arr. 14:50
Bucharest – London (Sat, Thu) dep. 15:20 – arr – 19:35 or 20:10

Free Ticket on Alaska Airlines- Where should I go?
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at
3:01 pm
It will probably have to be in Fall or Winter since I used most of my vacation up this summer and I accumulate vacation time monthly.
Anyone have any suggestions on where to go. I was thinking the Fur Rondy in Febuary, Juneau in October or the Great Alaska Shootout around Thanksgiving
Re the Mexico suggestion – sure, if it is a free ticket including Mexico. But usually they hand out domestic BTTs (Bonus Travel Tickets) for getting bumped.
Now, onto your question: September is a good time to come because there is still a lot of light, but most all the tourists and fisherman have gone home. So there are plenty of vacancies, campsites, etc. And not nearly so many motorhomes clogging the roads. And as we start to get freezing nights, it really knocks down the squitters. May is a good time for the same reasons.
Back when I lived in CA and WA, my favorite use of freq flyer awards and BTTs was to go as far as I could. They are good for a round trip ANYWHERE Alaska Airlines flies domestically, so why turn around in Anchorage. One layover is allowed. So book a roundtrip to Nome or Kotzebue or Barrow or King Salmon with a layover for a week or two in Anchorage.
Any of those towns are worth a day to look around. You can see everything in town. Twice. Barrow is good for northern lights (the sun sets by then) and Innuit culture. Nome is a frontier town still. King Salmon ain’t much but you can connect to Brook’s Camp and Katmai National Park for grizzly bear viewing.
Then back in Anchorage, rent a car and go to Denali (they let you drive your own car on the park road the last week before they close it). Or come down to the Kenai Peninsula and check out the views, art, and hippies in Homer; the aquarium, fjord, and Ressurection Bay boat tours in Seward, and hiking trails out of Cooper Landing.
OR, make Anchorage your destination, but come up on the "milk run" flight and layover in Juneau for a few days.
Hope that helps.
How to Avoid Becoming the Victim of a Cheap Airfare Scam
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010 at

I often read posts on the Internet of how people have fallen victim to “cheap airfare” scams. This mostly applies to international air travel. I am not talking about those that searched for cheap airfare, found a good deal and when they tried to book it that fare was no longer available. Many times these are not scams but they are often the result of the dynamics of airline pricing. I am more talking about people that paid money and then either did not get a ticket or got a ticket but did not have a confirmed reservation. Having a ticket DOES NOT mean you have a confirmed reservation. Here are some basic steps that you can take to protect yourself.
1. Use common sense
If a deal is too good to be true then, well you know the rest…. If you get a quote from one source that beats all of the other sources you have checked by 30% or more then be extra careful. I am not saying stay away but definitely investigate further. Ask questions like
What airline will I be flying on?
Will this be a CONFIRMED reservation or will this be a “on request” reservation?
What class of service will I be booked in (this is not economy or coach)? This is a letter designation such as U, T, Z …
What is the fare basis code? This is a serious of letter and numbers such AP21NR or similar.
Once yo have this information call a competitor (not the airline), give them the travel dates, and ask them if they can book you into the class of service using that fare basis code. If they can not explain that their competitor claims that they can. See what they say.
2. Check for Credentials
Almost all reputable sellers of travel are members of one or more of the following organizations.
ASTA – American Society of Travel Agents
USTOA – United States Tour Operators Association
IATAN – International Airline Travel Agency Network
BBB – Better Business Bureau
These organizations do a pretty good job vetting their members for scammers but it is no guarantee.
3. Pay by Credit Card only
This is the most important form of protection. If you decide to go for it then pay by credit card only. If the seller refuses credit cards or tries to entice you to pay by another form of payment then STAY AWAY. Reputable sellers will always accept credit cards for payment. The reason you want to pay by credit card is that if you have become the victim of a scam or fraud then you can simply dispute the charge stating that you have become the victim of a scam. The credit card will not make you pay for it. So, at least you will not be out of a chunk of change.
4. Check the Status of your Ticket and Reservation
Once you receive your ticket (or e-mail e-ticket confirmation) do the following.
If you received a paper ticket check the status box for either HK or OK code. If you see any other code call the airline and inquire what it means. If they state that you are not holding a confirmed reservation, call the seller and demand an explanation. Tell him/her that you were under the impression that you had bought a confirmed reservation and that if they can not get you a confirmed reservation within 24 hrs that you will call the credit card company and dispute the charge.
If you have received an e-mail with an e-ticket confirmation, call the airline and make sure that the reservation actually exists and that the seats are confirmed. A good way to do this is by simply asking them if you could add a special meal request or if you could request a window or aisle seat. If they have your reservation and everything is OK then neither should be a problem. Also ask them to verify that all segments of your ticket are confirmed. Some scammers will place your reservation “on request” for your return home trip.

Can you get a cheap flight ticket by Stand by…?
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 at
1:12 pm
I heard that you can get a cheap flight ticket by going to a airport and asking for a stand by ticket. Is that true, does it really work and if so how cheap can the tickets be?
Airlines no longer sell standby tickets. There are now only two ways to fly standby. They are:
First, a missed flight may require a passenger to fly standby on the next flight to the same destination, since they now lack a ticket. Airlines are usually very helpful when this happens.
Second, a passenger may arrive at the airport early (whether accidentally or on purpose) and notice that an earlier flight exists. They will then attempt to travel standby on the earlier flight, and failing that, proceed to take their booked flight.
Employees of the airline and/or other airlines (such as those in an alliance with the airline) and some of their family (and in some instances friends) may also travel standby, often at lower than normal fares. They usually have lower priority than regular passengers and will only be allocated a seat after all passengers paying a full fare are allocated seats.
how do you get cheap air flights?

I book through http://www.ryanair.com specials often for €10 or less, tax included. That’s how I get cheap flights.
How can I transfer or get the most out of my airline mile that I have w/Alaska Air?
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 at

I have approx. 85,000 miles w/Alaska Air which would give me 2 round trip tickets to Oahu, however the flight schedule is really horrible. If I transfer them to Hawaiian, it only gives me about 16,000 (not even enough for 1 round trip ticket). With Alaska, it would take almost the entire day to get there. If I were to book w/Hawaiian Air, it would only take few hours. I’m trying to figure out how to ge the most out of my miles. Can I sell my Alaska Airline miles for cash? Is it legal? Or can I transfer them to another airline and get an equivelant amount of mile?
Alaska partners with Northwest, Continental and American Airlines, so you can use your Alaska miles for flights on these three airlines without any loss. I think all 3 of them go to Hawaii, but since you didn’t say where you’re leaving from, you’d need to check their schedules to see you could find suitable ones. Alaska just ended their partnership with Hawaiian about 2 months ago. You can’t legally sell the miles and transferring over to another program is either going to cost you plenty in $ or lost miles. Alaska miles never expire, so if you can’t find a suitable flight to Hawaii, you might want to save them for a future trip. I provided the link to the partners below. You still would need to redeem your miles through Alaska’s Mileage Plan for the flights on their partner airlines. They will book the flights for you on the partner. See if you can book online thru Mileage Plan, because the awards require fewer miles than if you call on the phone.
