Don’t miss out on Condor’s mid-summer specials. I’m tracking their website for deals from both Anchorage and Fairbanks to Frankfurt and back.

Between Anchorage and Frankfurt 3x weekly (Tue/Sat/Sun):

ANC-FRA on July 11

FRA-ANC on July 28  Total fare? Whoa. Just $779rt (Biz class $1,339rt)

Between Fairbanks and Frankfurt 1x weekly on Thu:

FAI-FRA on July 2

FRA-FAI on July 16 Total fare? Just $919rt (Biz class  $1,479rt)

Grab your passport. I’ll meet you at the airport. We flew Condor earlier this month from Anchorage to Frankfurt. They do a great job. Once you arrive in Frankfurt, you have plenty of options. Make plans now to visit Europe this summer! Learn more online.

Okay, true confessions: I’ve been up late and I now am up early planning our trip to Spain. The first leg of our journey is on my favorite time machine: Condor. In case you don’t know, Condor flies nonstop from Anchorage three times a week to Frankfurt–and once each week to Fairbanks. Suh-weet.

So, if you have not been to Europe, Frankfurt is a great hub airport. Last time we flew, we continued to Rome. This time–it’s to Barcelona. We’ve been boning up on activities, adventures and some extra gear. I just got a new camera bag–and I’m trying to figure out how to cram everything into one small carry-on bag. I’ll do it, tho’!    (more…)

Sound incredible? It is. Condor’s flight next Tuesday (May 12) has seats available, returning the following Tuesday (May 19), for as little as $659 roundtrip, including all taxes and fees.

Drop what you’re doing and go get your passport. JUMP ON THIS, PEOPLE!!

Of course, once you get to Frankfurt, you’re in the heart of Europe. France is just next door. Italy is down the street. Austria and Switzerland are actually in the next room! HA! And b-o-y do they love American travelers!

Travel in June for about $1,000 roundtrip–still a pretty good price. But face it–$659 is better!!

Condor flies nonstop from Anchorage to Frankfurt three days a week, starting next month, plus once each week from Fairbanks nonstop to Frankfurt. INCREDIBLE! We flew Condor to Frankfurt. They did a great job. So great, in fact, that I’m trying to get over there again this year!! Go to the website. Book your flight. We’ll see you in Europe!!

California dreamin’ …on such a winter’s day! Lately, I’ve been harsh on Alaska Airlines for trying to squeeze $723 a.i. (all-in, including taxes and fees) out of me for a ticket between Anchorage and L.A.  

WELL–my friends at USTravel found a better deal. Fly into nearby BURBANK and trim more than $200 off the rate. Total is $517 all-in on Alaska Airlines. Much better. I still get all my miles, plus Burbank is a more manageable airport than LAX.

Check with the folks at USTravel this weekend: (907)561-2434 or (800)544-2217.

NOTES: The fare works both ways. Valid all summer. I would JUMP on this if you’ve got friends or relatives coming, or if you’re planning a trip to DISNEYLAND from Anchorage, Fairbanks, or another Alaska destination.

For those traveling from Fairbanks, it’s M-U-C-H cheaper to buy a separate ticket to Anchorage to connect with this, rather than buying the thru-fare as published. Your USTravel agent in either Anchorage or Fairbanks (talk to Linda or Tesa: 907-452-8992) can work out the details to save you a bundle.

Don’t forget about Anchorage-Minneapolis special May 22-June 10. Just $338 roundtrip all-in. Other good deals to the Lower 48 include Anchorage-N.Y. ($477rt) and Anchorage-Hartford ($477rt). All of these prices are less than a ticket Anchorage-Seattle on Alaska Airlines. 

Finally, keep an eye on Condor Airlines. Between Anchorage and Frankfurt, fly for as little as $659 all-in (May 5-12, 2009 only). Fly between May 5 and May 19 for $724 all-in. Fly between Fairbanks and Frankfurt May 21-June 4 for as little as $724 all-in.
