Okay–True story. Kelly Jo over at USTravel saved me yesterday. I was charged with making arrangements for my family–everyone was coming and going at different times. Different flights. DIfferent times. Some award miles. Some cash (yecch–I hate that!!). But it was my responsibility. I made an honest effort before throwing up my hands and calling Kelly Jo. (more…)

Your travel agent loves details. That’s why I like USTravel. They like to wrap everything up nicely. It’s not just the deal on air fares, although here’s a great one that Kelly Jo (Call her right now at 800-544-2217) and I were checking:

Anchorage-Minneapolis $394rt through Sept. 10 . Wow! That’s $100 cheaper than tickets to Seattle!

Whether it’s a tour, a cruise or a resort, check with your travel agent for the best deals. I came back with good reviews for Spanish Trails in Catalonia, for example. If you’re headed to Barcelona, Kelly Jo can make arrangements to go on Spanish Trails’ wine trips, their sea kayaking excursions–or hiking in the Pyrenees Mountains! Careful–that last step is a doozie! Check with Kelly Jo for all the details. Ask her about 65 percent discounts on “Sandals” all-inclusive resorts Jamaica, Antigua, St. Lucia, or the Bahamas. Plus, she always has some great cruise deals at her fingertips. Call (907)561-2434 or toll-free (800)544-2217.

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.

We’re always looking for a good deal between Anchorage and Minneapolis. FOUND ONE! FOUND ONE! Fly on either Northwest Airlines or Sun Country Airlines (both offer nonstop service) for just $353 roundtrip.

Fly today (Jul 17), since there is NO ADVANCE PURCHASE. This is the g-l-o-r-y of competition. If you’re lucky enough to get one of the scarce seats at Northwest, you have to return by Aug. 18. With Sun Country, you can travel through Sept. 8. We love Sun Country. But Northwest offers Alaska miles. You pick.
