Jon’s deal of the day!


Jon’s fare of the day!

Not exactly an airfare, but a deal for those right coasters.

The Sagamore Resort is described on its website as:
“Situated in the unspoiled Adirondack Mountains, The Sagamore features accommodation in the Historic Hotel and The Lodges. A year-round resort and sports paradise, The Sagamore offers a Donald Ross championship golf course, European-style Spa and Sailing School.”

January rates for a Gardenview/Lakeview room can be had for as little as $9.

Hello Virgin America. Competition is good. As of today, Virgin America has begun ticket sales to NYC and LAX from SFO. The response? A flooded Virgin America website and long delay times over the phone. I’d say they’re looking to be a strong player out of San Francisco.

United responded over the top with a fare sale. $22 each way from SFO-LAX. Total? 65ish RT taxes included! The SFO-JFK flights are even better- $160 RT all in! Does anyone want to go to New York for a weekend?

I wish them the best of luck. I look forward to giving them a chance.

P.S. The fares are valid from Aug 9 to Mid November.

**edit- Apparently United Airlines only meant to MATCH the fare sale, not go over the top. As of this morning, prices have been corrected. According to the San Jose Mercury News, hackers implemented a DOS attack. Apparently those script kiddies have nothing better to do.

Skiing in the Alps

Is anyone down for skiing in the alps?

Do not watch Iron Chef before going to sleep.  Now I’m hungry and too lazy to cook.

**Jon’s fare of the day**
NYC (New York)-LON (London, UK)
for…Drumroll…. $7…plus taxes and fuel surcharges….for a grand total of….$99-  One Way.  Available on Zoom airlines (the Canadian Charter)

For the return fares, I think should be able to find a cheap return since it still is 199+ for the LON-NYC portion.  The total for about 400RT.   Over the Summer that is an exceptional deal.  The cheapest fare I can find right now is for 750, on Kuwait airlines.

Think of the options.  Once in Europe, you can hop any one of the low cost carriers to your final destination.  However, I do caution to pad in one full day, as in cases of irregular operations you maybe SOL if one leg is delayed.
Skyscanner is my favorite european LCC search tool.  However every european LCC has tiny baggage limits …so pack light and don’t do too much shopping.

Too bad I don’t live in NYC.

Jon’s fare of the day!

I haven’t seen a decent fare to Asia in a while so here’s one for ya’ll.

SMF (Sacramento) – HKG (Hong Kong) through YVR (Vancouver) on Air Canada
$630 Taxes Included!
This is not a fare mistake, but instead simply a decent deal.  Air Canada and United both have a Double Miles promotion which should help ease the pain a bit.

Valid from Aug 21- Dec 9.

I guess I’m going to the lovely beaches of Costa Rica for my Birthday in April.

(yeah, I know a little bit expensive compared to my other tickets…but it’s still some Sun at a $500 discount)

On to the search for the next awesome trip. Or should I even bother. So far this year I have spent a total of $1,100. For that I will go on 5 trips to Europe (2 in Business/First) and 1 trip to Costa Rica. I almost booked a flight to Belize to dive the Blue Hole, but I do have a business to run. I am debating if I should even continue looking at airfares as I am simply starting to run out of time to go. What are your thoughts?
