Real Deals We've Sent Premium Members Recently
In just the past few months alone, we’ve sent hundreds of flight deal alerts to Thrifty Traveler Premium members – including deeply discounted cash fares and incredible points and miles deals.
That includes:
- Dirt-cheap domestic fares like roundtrip flights to Savannah (SAV) from $159 roundtrip or Los Angeles (LAX) for under $100 total as well as plenty of deeply discounted long-haul international fares, like a recent deal to Sweden and Finland from $358 roundtrip.
- An unbelievable Delta SkyMiles flash sale to Europe for as low as 22,000 SkyMiles roundtrip … for a standard, main cabin economy fare!
- Nearly 20 business class award deals to Europe, Asia, and beyond with widespread availability for two or more passengers later this year or early next – all with in-depth instructions on which points to transfer and the best airline programs to use to get the best deal
- Incredibly rare award deals like Emirates business class to Europe bookable for as low as just 85,000 miles roundtrip, Japan Airlines First Class to Tokyo for 135,000 points, and Qantas’ long-haul from New York City (JFK) to Auckland (AKL) for just 80,000 American AAdvantage miles
- Some amazing hotel deals for Premium+ subscribers including the outstanding Zemi Beach House in Anguilla for 110,000 Hilton Honors points, a first chance to book the long-awaited Park Hyatt Mexico City next year on points, and ultra-rare availability at Alila Ventana Big Sur next year for 45,000 Hyatt points per night
Many of these deals disappear quickly – sometimes within just a few hours. That’s why getting an alert right when we find the deal can make all the difference.
And when it comes to points and miles, the savings can be even more dramatic. Finding award availability to book these flights on your own can be incredibly difficult. But when we spot it, we send Premium members an alert showing exactly what you can book — and how to do it.
Getting our alerts can be the difference between snagging a great deal and missing it altogether, like this incredibly rare Qantas award availability on the ultra-long-haul from New York to New Zealand bookable with American AAdvantage miles we found a few weeks back. Less than two hours later, it was gone!
Even with fears about skyrocketing flight prices, we're still finding plenty of dirt-cheap cash fares, too. That includes the cheapest-ever fare we've ever seen to Tahiti (PPT): Just $464! Yes, that's roundtrip.
Our Premium+ subscribers (or existing Premiumbefore award rates increase members who add hotel deals to their subscription) are also treated to tons of hotel alerts, too – with an emphasis on award deals from the major chains like Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and IHG bookable with points. One recent gem includes some wide-open award space at the recently reopened Park Hyatt Tokyo – a great chance to book later this spring!
Beat the price increase: Sign up for Thrifty Traveler Premium (or Premium+) before prices increase on Friday – and lock in your lower rate for life!
