There aren’t many cheap flights this season to interior Europe. All the deals are either far west, or 2 hours inward to Italy. But hey, I’ll take any deal I can get and Dublin is a city worth seeing. US Airways will take you from Chi-town (ORD) to Dublin (DUB) for $511, taxes and fees [...]

Simply put, this should be your first stop in any city you visit. They’re located downtown in the city center and easy to find. The offices are loaded with coupons, guides, bus/subway routes, and maps. Most of this stuff is free as well. The attendants usually speak English (at least a little) and can offer [...]

I’d file this deal in the “oh, that’s not bad” category. It isn’t smoking hot, but it is pretty good for a west coast flight. Delta will take you from Los Angeles (LAX) to Madrid (MAD) for low $600s.

There seems to be a trend going on of the top rated airlines having great sales. First it was Singapore Air now it appears Turkish Airlines have jumped on the bandwagon. The 2009 Skytrax award winner has just marked down it’s flights to Istanbul to a mere $543. This is for a non-stop [...]

Edinburgh is a special place.  It hosts a number of major attractions you’ll find in every guidebook.  Those are great and all, but there’s much still to be found. Climb the mountain. One of the best views of the city is found on Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Cags.  Its a short hike and different paths allow [...]
