Flight prices can seem out of control and even finding ways to use your points and miles can be a challenge. But there are still amazing deals out there if you know where to look – just ask our Thrifty Traveler Premium and Thrifty Traveler Premium+ members.
In the last week alone, we've sent our subscribers nearly two dozen amazing flight deals. That includes nonstop flights to Amsterdam and Paris from $488 roundtrip (or from 33,000 points one-way in business class!) and a Delta SkyMiles deal to Mexico from 9,000 SkyMiles roundtrip.
And that's just a small taste of the cheap flights and fare deals we've found. We've got a team of eight flight deal experts scouring the globe for the best flight deals every day for our Thrifty Traveler Premium members – departing from more than 200 U.S. airports. To give you an idea of just how good the deals can get even as you're seeing sky-high prices on your own searches, we've narrowed it down to the best three deals of the week.

Nonstop to Amsterdam and Paris from $488 RT
Air France, Delta, and KLM airlines run dozens of routes to and from the SkyTeam Alliance hubs in Amsterdam (AMS) and Paris (CDG). But often, you might be looking at $700, $800, or even $900 roundtrip fares to take those flights.

This Cancún (CUN) flight deal is one of our favorite SkyMiles deals we've sent in the last few months because the availability during the peak season (January-February) is so good.
Plus, look at all the cities included in this one. Sick of the snow? Fly from Jackson, Wyoming (JAC) to CUN for just 18,000 roundtrip. Same goes for places like Fargo (FAR), Eugene (EUG) and Grand Forks (GFK)!
Bottom Line
Travelers nationwide may be writing off trips when all they see is high airfare and yet here we are, proving that cheap flight deals are still out there.
It's been another amazing week for Thrifty Traveler Premium and Thrifty Traveler Premium+ members – especially the ones who booked nonstop flights to Amsterdam and Paris from $488 roundtrip (or from 33,000 points one-way in business class!) and a Delta SkyMiles deal to Mexico from 9,000 SkyMiles roundtrip.

You seem to have lots of good deals however we live in Houston, TX and it seems the low fares rarely originate from Houston, although Bush is an international airport!
Your occasional Iberia posts frustrate me. NEVER do I see the point avails that you reference even when I am checking within minutes of getting your Email alerts. This time, I searched the DFW-MAD route via AA as you instructed. I found one date with a 57.5K point 1 way Biz seat in March and a few in Feb and Jan. Nothing in April, May or June and no 34K avail. Checked BOS-MAD and MIA-MAD, they won’t even show the Iberia option and can’t toggle to one way. Seems like clickbait.
Does your Thrift Premium service ever include a mix of miles and cash or even gas only for flights from USA to say, Milan? I don’t have tons of points right now and am considering joining this fall.
