Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking.

Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz or Expedia’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to get the time away from work or family.

Singapore is a great place to visit, but also a great jumping off point for other Southeast Asian destinations. You can grab a one-way flight on Scoot to Ho Chi Minh City or Bangkok for only $37.

If you’re willing to fly in basic economy, American and United are offering pretty great fares from multiple US cities to Los Angeles (LAX). United’s offering low fares from a number of cities, such as Houston (IAH), Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW) and Cleveland (CLE), and American’s offering similar fares from Dallas (DFW). JetBlue has two notable regular economy fares from Boston (BOS) and Orlando (MCO).

Keep in mind that most of these (with the exception of JetBlue) are basic economy fares. If you’re willing to spend a bit more, you can secure a Main Cabin ticket, which will allow you more flexibility in your travel without the chance of getting nickel-and-dimed. Certain credit cards, such as the Citi / AAdvantage Executive World Elite Mastercard and the United MileagePlus Club Card can help you defeat the extra fees that come with booking a basic economy ticket.

Airline: American/JetBlue/United
Routes: BOS/CLE/DFW/IAH/MCO/ORD to LAX
Cost: $80+ Basic Economy / $96 Main Cabin round-trip in economy
Dates: November 2017 — February 2018

If you’re looking to visit Spain soon, you’re in luck. Strong competition from low-cost carriers has driven prices down to major España cities Madrid (MAD) and Barcelona (BCN). The cheapest flights right now are nonstops on low-cost carrier Norwegian — while you can use its US website to book these flights for cheap, you can save more by using an international version of the site. Just make sure to buy your ticket with a credit card that has no foreign transaction fees.

The easiest way to find these deals is to search for cheap dates via Google Flights. Then click through to Orbitz, Expedia or the airline directly to book your tickets. While the Norwegian options are cheaper using the foreign website trick, most of the other airline itineraries are more straightforward to find and purchase.

Pay With: The Platinum Card from American Express (5x on airfare), Chase Sapphire Reserve, Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express, Citi Prestige (3x on airfare) or Chase Sapphire Preferred (2x on travel)

Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points.

It’s been more than a month since we’ve seen an airfare deal to China on full-service carriers, but today we’ve got a great one. The Big 3 US legacy carriers — American, Delta and United — along with ANA are offering excellent prices on flights to both Beijing (PEK) and Shanghai (PVG) for as low as $442 round-trip. Even better, you’ll find departures not only from major cities like Boston (BOS) and Los Angeles (LAX), but also mid-size and smaller cities such as Orlando (MCO) and Hartford, Connecticut (BDL).

These prices are generally available from November through early June except for the December holiday period, and you don’t need any tricks to find them. Just search the dates you want with Google Flights, then book on Orbitz, Expedia or directly with the airline itself. These are international trips on mainstream carriers — and not in Basic Economy — so in most cases passengers will get their first checked bag free and a complimentary meal during the flight.

You probably can’t take advantage of China’s “visa-free transit” policy since these itineraries don’t include a visit to a third country, so make sure you get the right visa before traveling or you won’t even be able to get on the plane. TPG recommends using a third-party service like Allied Passport & Visa and if you mention The Points Guy on your order form, you’ll get a $5 discount.

Airlines: American, Delta, United, ANA
Routes: BOS/BDL/MCO/ORD/LAS/PHX/SAN/LAX to PEK/PVG
Cost: $442+ round-trip in economy
Dates: November through early June
Booking Link: Orbitz or Expedia
Pay With: The Platinum Card from American Express (5x on airfare), Chase Sapphire Reserve, Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express, Citi Prestige (3x on airfare) or Chase Sapphire Preferred (2x on travel)

Here are a few examples of what you can book:

Boston (BOS) to Shanghai, China (PVG) for $442 round-trip on Delta via Orbitz:

Hartford (BDL) to Shanghai (PVG) for $442 round-trip on AA via Orbitz:

San Diego (SAN) to Beijing, China (PEK) for $453 round-trip on AA via Orbitz:

Las Vegas (LAS) to Beijing (PEK) for $458 round-trip on AA via Orbitz:

Orlando (MCO) to Beijing (PEK) for $479 round-trip on United via Orbitz:

Phoenix (PHX) to Shanghai (PVG) for $483 round-trip on United via Orbitz:

Chicago (ORD) to Beijing (PEK) for $488 round-trip on United via Orbitz:

If you got in on the Air New Zealand error fare to Australia back in September only to see it cancelled a few days later, here’s another way to get down to the Australasia region without breaking the bank. Hawaiian Air is currently offering great prices on trips to Auckland, New Zealand (AKL) from multiple cities on the West Coast, including San Francisco (SFO), Phoenix (PHX), Seattle (SEA), Las Vegas (LAS) and Los Angeles (LAX) starting as low as $716 round-trip in economy.

What’s really interesting about this fare is that it can be booked as two separate one-ways, and sometimes by doing so, the price gets even cheaper. So if you wanted to book with cash in one direction and use points or miles for an award redemption in the other direction, this is a great chance to do it.

You’ll find most of these airfares from November through September 2018, and you don’t need any tricks to get these prices. So just use Google Flights to pick the dates you want — again, make sure you search for the legs as one-ways to see if the price is lower that way — then book on Orbitz, Expedia or directly with Hawaiian itself.

Airline: Hawaiian Airlines
Routes: SFO/SEA/PDX/LAX/LAS to AKL
Cost: $716+ round-trip in economy
Dates: January-September
Booking Link: Orbitz, Expedia or with the airline directly
Pay With: The Platinum Card from American Express (5x on airfare), Chase Sapphire Reserve, Premier Rewards Gold Card from American Express, Citi Prestige (3x on airfare) or Chase Sapphire Preferred (2x on travel)

Here are a few examples of what you can book:

San Francisco (SFO) to Auckland, New Zealand (AKL) for $716 round-trip via Orbitz:

H/T: The Flight Deal

Featured image by AsianDream/Getty Images.

At 11am CT/12pm ET today (November 14), the Conrad Chicago is launching its anniversary special: rooms for just $11.14 per night. But, you better act quickly to get this rate; it’ll only be available for 24 hours. And, there’s limited availability.

You must call 1-844-676-2522 and ask for reservations to book this special. Mention the group code “1YEAR” for the spectacular rate. The deal is available for stays from November 15, 2017 to March 31, 2018 — except blackout dates of November 24 to 29, December 31 and January 21 and 22. Only three rooms per night will be available at this rate. Once those are sold out, a secondary nightly rate of $111.40 will be available for the duration of the sale.

In case you’re interested in what the hotel is like, here’s our full review. Spoiler alert: it’s spectacular. One of the only downsides is the price. TPG paid $349 per night to stay there when it was reviewed, so if you can snag the $11.14 rate, you’ll get a 97% discount off that rate!

In addition to this being an excellent deal, it’s also a fundraiser. According to the hotel’s website:

A percentage of the proceeds from this flash sale will benefit Youth Guidance, a non-profit organization that creates and implements school-based programs that enable at-risk children to overcome obstacles, focus on their education and, ultimately, succeed in school and in life.

H/T: View From The Wing

Did you get in on this spectacular deal?

Have you been trying to plan a trip to London? You’re in luck — Delta’s offering a flash sale on flights from select US cities to London Heathrow (LHR). Economy round-trip award tickets start at 48,000 SkyMiles plus taxes and fees in the Main Cabin.

In order to take advantage of this promotion, you must purchase your ticket by November 15, 2017 at 11:59pm Eastern. According to the terms, the eligible travel period is from January 9 to May 10. Flights must be operated by Delta, which means Virgin Atlantic awards aren’t eligible for this promo.

Right now, availability seems wide open on many routes. Just be forewarned that award flights from London have infamously high taxes and fees.

Here are some examples of what you can book:

New York’s JFK to London (LHR) for 48,000 SkyMiles + $184 round-trip in economy:

Atlanta (ATL) to London (LHR) for 48,000 SkyMiles + $184 round-trip in economy:

Los Angeles (LAX) to London (LHR) for 48,000 SkyMiles + $190 round-trip in economy:

Chicago (ORD) to London (LHR) for 48,000 SkyMiles + $190 round-trip in economy:

Detroit (DTW) to London (LHR) for 48,000 SkyMiles + $184 round-trip in economy:

Bottom Line

Delta doesn’t publish an award chart, so there’s no telling just exactly how discounted these award sale fares are. However, if you’re thinking about taking a trip to London and have the SkyMiles to spend, this could be a good deal.

If you don’t have enough SkyMiles in your account, consider signing up for one of the Delta SkyMiles credit cards from American Express to ensure you’re able to take advantage of an offer like this next time one pops up. For example, the Gold Delta SkyMiles Credit Card from American Express comes with a sign-up bonus of 30,000 SkyMiles after you spend $1,000 in the first three months. Plus, you’ll get a $50 statement credit after you make a purchase with your card within the first three months. You’ll earn 2 miles per dollar on Delta purchases and 1 mile per dollar on everything else.

Most of us run on caffeine so getting a free cup (or two) of coffee is no joke. Luckily, Starbucks has you covered.

According to Doctor of Credit, Starbucks is shelling out 300 Bonus Stars to customers using Chase Pay to add $20 or more to their Starbucks app anytime from now until November 21st. And, for those whom already have Starbucks Gold Status, that means you’ll earn two free drinks or food items after purchasing the credit.

You’ll need to have a personal account (not a business profile) to use Chase Pay and wait 24 hours after loading the money to see the Bonus Stars hit your account and become available to use as you please.

If you’re looking to become a Chase Pay user you can do so here.

Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz or Expedia, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. However, if you’re using the American Express Platinum Card, you’ll need to book directly with the airline or through Amex Travel portal to get 5x MR points.

Iceland is still one of the world’s hottest travel destinations, and while you’ll pay a pretty penny for everything from lodging to rental car fuel once you’re on the ground, actually getting to the country can be dirt cheap. That’s thanks to WOW Air — the carrier continues to offer $199+ fares from much of the US to Reykjavik, Iceland (KEF), including round-trip departures from Chicago (ORD), Los Angeles (LAX), Newark (EWR), San Francisco (SFO), Baltimore (BWI), Pittsburgh (PIT) and more.

Exact availability depends on where you’re originating from, but we’re generally seeing low fares for departures from December 2017 through March 2018. Use Google Flights to find the dates you want, then book directly with the airline. Note that WOW Air is a low-cost carrier, so carry-on and checked bags, seat assignments and other items you’ll find bundled with legacy carrier fares require an additional fee with WOW.

Routes: BWI/PIT/EWR/SFO/ORD/LAX to KEF
Cost: $199+ round-trip in economy
Dates: December 2017 – March 2018

The all-business-class French carrier La Compagnie is currently running an early Black Friday promotion with round-trip flights from Newark (EWR) to Paris (CDG) for $998. We’re seeing discounted fares throughout much of the rest of this year and all the way through the end of its schedule in October 2018 — including summer.

Even though La Compagnie offers promotional sale every so often, this is the right along with cheapest we’ve seen the carrier offer round-trip flights. Note that in order to take advantage of these $998 round-trip fares, you must book by November 21, 2017.

TPG has flown with La Compagnie and thought the experience was comfortable enough. Although the seats are angle-flat as opposed to lie-flat, the all-business-class trip is enjoyable — especially at discounted prices such as these.

Airline: La Compagnie
Route: EWR to CDG
Cost: $998 round-trip in business class
Dates: December 2017 – October 2018
Booking Link: La Compagnie

American and United are offering low fares on many cross-country routes. We’re seeing one-way flights from Philadelphia (PHL) to Los Angeles (LAX) and vice versa for as little as $50 one-way or $108 round-trip in basic economy. Note that this round-trip ticket must be booked on separate tickets with United and American in order to get the lowest price.

On some of the routes — between Tampa (TPA) and Pittsburgh (PIT) and San Francisco (SFO) — the flights are in American’s Main Cabin. So, you won’t need to worry about basic economy restrictions. The examples below are also available in the opposite direction. The best way to search for these fares is by browsing Google Flights’ calendar function. When you select dates that work for you, click through to book with the airline itself.

H/T: The Flight Deal

Ski season officially kicks off for many resorts on November 17th, which means it’s finally time to hit the slopes, carve through fresh snow and show off your skiing (or snowboarding) skills. This also means you only have a few days left to purchase your Epic Pass for the 2017-2018 season.

With Epic Pass, you score unlimited skiing this winter at some of the country’s best resorts, including Heavenly in Lake Tahoe, Arapahoe Basin in Colorado and Stowe Mountain Resort in Vermont. But you better hurry because you only have until November 19th to make your purchase ($899 for adults age 13+ and $469 for children 5-12 years of age).

The pass comes with plenty of international perks, too, like limited access to 4 Vallées in Switzerland, Skirama Dolomiti in Italy and Tignes-Val D’Isere in France. During the first 30 days alone, your pass unlocks exclusive deals on rentals and lodging, events, and weather updates so you can kick off ski season right.

With one of these in your pocket, you’ll save more than 40% when compared to lift ticket window prices — which means more dough to spend warming up in the lodge après–ski.

It’s not at all unusual to see round-trip flights from the US to Iceland for $200 or less, but more often than not these flights are on low-cost carrier WOW Air, which charges for just about everything. Today, however, Delta’s offering flights from a bunch of US cities to Reykjavik (KEF) for prices as low as WOW’s. The carrier is offering fares for as little as $228 round-trip, which has us thinking that this may be an error fare. Since Delta is a full-service carrier, you’ll get one free checked bag along with complimentary meals, entertainment and more. Plus, several of the cities included in this sale are ones that usually miss out on WOW’s bargain-basement fares, such as Raleigh (RDU) and Phoenix (PHX).

These prices are generally available from December 2017 through February 2018. Just search the dates you want with Google Flights, then book on Orbitz, Expedia or directly with Delta’s partners Air France or KLM. Note that many of these flights include long layovers in New York (JFK) on the return, but these prices make that fact easier to overlook.

Airlines: Delta
Routes: AUS/DFW/PHL/PHX/RDU to KEF
Cost: $228+ round-trip in economy
