			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to Find Low Priced Airline Tickets</p>
<p>Everyone would love to discover inexpensive airline tickets, however the truth is a lot of people just don&#8217;t do enough investigating. When you come across an advertised fare, the ad won&#8217;t mention anything about being able to find it in another place less expensive therefore it&#8217;s you who needs to find it. Opportunely, there are some specific options to use for tracking down these lower priced airline tickets and we&#8217;ll be explaining some of these in this article.</p>
<p>A multi-destination ticket will save you money if your trip has several stops. The fact is, the more places you are going, the more you can save. Booking separate flights to visit several countries costs more because there are special fares for world travelers. But if you purchase one of these tickets, your dates and airport preferences will need to be flexible. Searching online for &#8220;around the world tickets&#8221; is the easiest way to find these tickets. Getting cheap airline tickets this way can be a great way to see the world at a bargain price!</p>
<p> While lots of individuals use online auctions on frequent occasions, it usually doesn&#8217;t occur to them to use it for their travel needs. In actuality, auction sites like e-Bay have sections that people can utilize for selling airline tickets and a bunch of other travel related services. [The fact is, auction sites such as Ebay have travel sections where people sell plane tickets and many other travel related services as well.] Obviously, you might not even see the location and date you&#8217;re on the hunt for, although it&#8217;s definitely worth looking into. Be sure you are dealing with a reputable seller and that the conditions allow for the ticket to be transfered. You can also test out priceline.com and skyauction.com to place bids on low priced plane tickets.</p>
<p>When finding cheap airline tickets is the goal there are not alot of strategies available. On the one hand, if you want to be safe and are not very flexible about your travel times, your best approach is to book your flight as far in advance as possible. Those of you who are flexible and not afraid of some uncertainty can score big discounts wiht last minute travel. The best time to attempt this is during non holiday off peak seasons. You can try stand by flights. If you don&#8217;t plan to check any luggage you might also save some money.</p>
<p>There are no regulations for uncovering the least expensive plane tickets that work in every condition, on account of the ticket prices repeatedly changing. This means you must be aware and have leeway when it comes to coming across the best deals. If you keep the above advice in mind, you will have an effortless time at seeking low priced tickets and you&#8217;ll never have to pay the whole fare again.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> The Costa Blanca and its astonishing beaches are not new to travelers simillar to you. But this isn&#8217;t everything there is in the place. You will discover more as you go around the various cities.  <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/Car_Hire_at_Alicante_Airport/4024/1">Car Hire at Alicante Airport</a> is your most important step. A vehicle that you can use anytime you want &#8211; anywhere you wish to go is the best way to get the most out of your holiday.</p>
<p> Most vacationers land at El Altet, a very busy airport in Europe. To continue its services to the millions of people landing in this airport, amenity is obtainable to any visiting tourist. Car hire in Alicante airport is likely one of the first amenities you will encounter soon upon your exit at the arrival area.</p>
<p> In order to have your rentel vehicle, just walk straight across towards the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/Car_Hire_in_Alicante_Airport/4024/2">Car Hire in Alicante Airport</a> offices. After obtaining the car, you is going to start your exploration by moving towards Alicante city center. You may also want to explore Alicante later and you prefer proceeding to Benidorm. For these car hire companies, it will not matter what city in The Costa Blanca you would like to go to. The car can be taken anywhere in the The Costa Blanca. After all, that is your reason for renting your own vehicle.</p>
<p> From Alicante, you can drive southward to the city of Torrevieja. If you drive to the north of Alicante, you will reach Benidorm then a bit more driving northward and you are going to enjoy the splendor of Altea and Calpe.  Or why not you wish to drive farther north to Denia? There is going to be no restrictions wherever you want to go. Hired cars are the instruments for all your mobility and freedom.</p>
<p> Another low-cost amenity in the place apart out of car hire is hotel accommodation. The influx of guests in this place has moved lots of investors to found businesses here.</p>
<p> The number of investors and the low cost of Spanish living are enormously paving is a way to competition which is having really brought down cost of lodging. Just do not go to the luxury, first class, five star hotels.</p>
<p> Another incentive to holidaymakers is the provision of cheap airfares. When you travel around The Costa Blanca, you are going to find the major contrasts among the various metropolitan areas. Every city is pleased with its own sights. Benidorm is one of the metropolitan areas that is always in the schedule of any vacationer, possibly due to the skyscraper hotels. It has also been legendary for the fantastic night life.</p>
<p> The beach is where you can loosen up and enjoy the Spanish sun. Don&#8217;t tell me you have already seen the beaches of Alicante. You is going to still want to see the beaches of Benidorm or Calpe or any other seaside city. You wish to see all of The Costa Blanca because it is in fact unlike any other place that you have been.</p>
<p> Aboard your rented car, you can&#8217;t stop seeing the sights. The adventure is all because of a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/Cheap_Car_Hire_in_Alicante/4024/3">Cheap Car Hire in Alicante</a>. The rented car &#8211; this makes you fulfill your aim of seeing everything. In this region generally known as The Costa Blanca, every minute is a time of enjoyment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ryanair are not happy with how an episode of the BBC&#8217;s <em>Panorama</em> program has portrayed them. To hit back at the allegations they have decided to give away 100 000 per false claim that was made on the show. </p>
<p>According to Ryanair there were 11 in total so that means over one million free seats on their flights. These will be truly free tickets as there will be now taxes or charges.</p>
<p>Here is the news release from Ryanair.</p>
<p>Ryanair, Britain’s favourite airline, today (Tue 13th Oct) released 1.1million FREE seats after BBC Panorama screened its ‘hatchet job’ on Ryanair last evening in which it uncovered – nothing, nada, rien, diddly squat. Ryanair criticised Panorama for its refusal of Ryanair’s offer of a live or uncut pre-recorded interview with Michael O’Leary, but this refusal isn’t surprising given that Panorama had no real case or valid points which would stand up to interview.</p>
<p>Last night Panorama made 11 false or misleading claims as follows:</p>
<p>   1. Panorama featured check in problems at Stansted one weekend in August with no mention of the fact that on the other 32 weekends since web check-in was introduced Ryanair has seen no problems whatsoever at Stansted or the other 150 airports Ryanair operates from.</p>
<p>   2. Panorama quoted a “Which” magazine survey which has no basis in reality whatsoever since “Which” continue to nominate British Airways as Britain’s favourite airline despite the fact that three times more passengers prefer Ryanair.</p>
<p>   3. Panorama claimed that Ryanair charges £5 to all passengers for web check-in but omitted that more than half of Ryanair’s passengers avoid this fee by booking Ryanair’s promotional fares (which include free web check-in).</p>
<p>   4. Panorama interviewed a ‘website usability expert’, who claimed that ryanair.com was designed to force passengers to buy Ryanair travel insurance. Panorama hid the fact that over 96% of Ryanair passengers decline travel insurance, which clearly confirms that this ‘website usability expert’ was clueless.</p>
<p>   5. Panorama produced a ‘Professor of Corporate Reputation’ to suggest that ‘people feel cheated’ by Ryanair – which is clearly false when over 66 million passengers this year will choose to fly Ryanair because they feel cheated by BA’s and Easyjet’s high fares.</p>
<p>   6. Panorama claimed that Ryanair’s 25 minute turnaround was a ‘record time’. This is false since Southwest Airlines in the US operates a 15 minute turnaround.</p>
<p>   7. A Panorama actor claimed that cabin crew would not get a contract if they didn’t meet their targets at the end of the day or year. Totally false.</p>
<p>   8. Panorama claimed that cabin crew pay £2,000 to train and qualify as cabin crew but conveniently omitted that these payments were not paid to Ryanair.</p>
<p>   9. Another Panorama actor claimed Ryanair had ‘no respect or dignity for pilots or cabin crew’ – this is a false claim put about by the British Airways pilots’ union. Respect and dignity in Ryanair come in the form of high pay, rapid promotion and job security – unlike at BA where pilots are facing job cuts and pay cuts.</p>
<p>  10. Panorama falsely claimed that no food or drinks are provided to cabin crew without pointing out that each pilot and cabin crew member receives a food allowance on every flight to pay for their own food and drinks.</p>
<p>  11. Panorama claimed that “O’Leary is a bully” – this is clearly false when the whole world knows that O’Leary is a kind and gentle, caring and thoughtful, sensitive and saintly human being widely beloved by all Ryanair’s 6,500 people and its 66m passengers.</p>
<p>To celebrate the total failure of BBC Panorama’s hatchet job, Ryanair has today released 1.1million free seats &#8211; 100,000 for each of the 11 above lies or false claims made by Panorama last night.</p>
<p> Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary said,</p>
<p>“Last night’s programme was more Bananarama than Panorama. The BBC had no case, no facts and no clue. The only benefit it provided to viewers was the 1.1million free seats Ryanair will give away as a result of its false claims. </p>
<p>66 million passengers know that flying Ryanair guarantees the lowest fares, the best punctuality, no check-in queues and the pleasure of joining the Michael O’Leary fan club. Ryanair’s 1.1million free seats, for travel in November and December, are now available on <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/www_ryanair_com/637/1">www.ryanair.com</a> and we urge passengers to snap them up.” </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In my previous post I mentioned the American Airways frequent flyer program and how they are offering double points until mid-December.</p>
<p>Not to be outdone, US Airways have announced a promotion that allows their frequent flyers the fastest and easiest way to get Preferred status.</p>
<p>For flights between 1 October and December 25, 2009 you need just 7,500 miles or 10 segments to earn Silver Preferred status. 15,000 miles or 20 segments sees you earn Gold Preferred status. You can reach the top level with 30,000 miles or 40 segments. That will give you Chairman&#8217;s Preferred status.</p>
<p>In case you are wondering what the benefits are of reaching elite status here are some of the perks.</p>
<p>If you are Silver Preferred you could receive an upgrade to First Class if an upgrade become available. You&#8217;re able to reserve select exit-row seats and Choice Seats at no additional cost. You are also exempt from first and second checked bag fees.</p>
<p>Just looking at the current fee schedule for checked bags the Silver Preferred status can save you over $50 if you had two bags to check-in.</p>
<p>That is only a sampling of the benefits of reaching Preferred status. For further details regarding this promotion and the benefits of the different Preferred status levels visit <a rel="nofollow" title="US Airways" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/US_Airways/632/1" target="_blank">US Airways</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you fly American Airlines and are not in the Frequent Flyer American Airlines program they are giving you plenty of reasons to join.</p>
<p>The airline is offering double miles elite on all American Airlines flights.  To join just visit their <a rel="nofollow" title="American Airlines" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/website/630/1" target="_blank">website</a> and use the code ELTRW to join.</p>
<p>If you do get into the American Airlines Frequent Flyer program and like flying you could look at doing some weekend flights to build up your points.</p>
<p>One good way to build up frequent flyer points is to add stopovers for a direct flight. For example Detroit (DTW) to Los Angeles (LAX) could pick you up a nice lot of miles at a cheap airfare. If you throw in Minneapolis-St Paul (MSP) to Memphis (MEM) you can earn some extra miles from flying north-south along the way.</p>
<p>You of course have to be someone who loves flying to do all that just to be building up your points, but in the long run if that is something you can afford to do it is worthwhile.</p>
<p>The Frequent Flyer American Airlines offer ends in December so take action now.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I just came across an interesting video. It has airline staff from Air New Zealand doing a safety presentation in the nude. The video is not quite what I was expecting when I first watched it. Go ahead and check it out.</p>
<p><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7-Mq9HAE62Y&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/7-Mq9HAE62Y&#038;color1=0xb1b1b1&#038;color2=0xcfcfcf&#038;hl=en&#038;feature=player_embedded&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"></embed></object></p>
<p>What did you think? It is actually an Air New Zealand safety presentation video that is being shown on domestic flights in New Zealand. It is part of the airlines &#8220;Nothing to Hide&#8221; campaign for which they have setup a special promotional website.</p>
<p>The people in the video are actual Air New Zealand employees. They are decked out in full body paint which took several hours to apply. The above video is not the only one they made, there is also an ad that was shot for the company. </p>
<p>What do you think? Does it make you want to fly Air New Zealand? Love to read your comments which you can leave below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On 19 September Qantas took delivery of their brand new Airbus A380 in the Airbus home town of Toulouse. The delivery of the plane was two years late, but that is old news. The giant of the skies flew from Toulouse to Singapore before arriving in Sydney on Sunday.</p>
<p>Qantas plan to put the plane into service on October 20 with a flight from Melbourne to Los Angeles. This will be followed four days later with a Sydney-Los Angeles flight.</p>
<p>Singapore airlines were the first to use the A380 for commercial flights and now have been flying for close to a year with the giant double-decker jumbo. The airline has six of the huge passenger planes in service.</p>
<p>Qantas will start flights from Sydney to Singapore on January 16, 2009 offering three flights a week and flights to London from Sydney will also commence on January 16.</p>
<p>As Qantas are looking to impress new travellers taking the A380 they have gone for a more conservative fitout aimed at gving more room to passengers. As a result the Qantas A380 will have 450 seats with 14 in first, 72 in business, 32 in premium economy and 332 economy. The plane will feature lounges, bars, showers and luxurious first class seats.</p>
<p>If you are interested in a <a rel="nofollow" href="http://cheapflightscruises.com/traveltalk/goto/virtual_tour_of_the_A380_/444/1">virtual tour of the A380 </a>you can visit the Qantas website.</p>
<p>Have you already flown on one of the A380 aircraft already in service. If you have I would love it if you share your experience. Leave a comment below.</p>
