While most of you reading this blog probably consider yourself travel experts, at least to a degree, that doesn't mean we haven't made embarrassing mistakes. We're all human here. There's nothing more endearing, and humanizing, than stories of ourselves being idiots. We want to hear yours!

WOW Air has just announced four new routes between Reykjavik and the following American cities:

Detroit
Cleveland
Cincinnati
St. Louis

WOW Air is an Icelandic low cost carrier. It offers flights from Baltimore, Washington D.C., Boston, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco to Reykjavik with connections to Europe at rock bottom prices--like $69 one way, all the way to Europe (more on baggage fees below).

At the conclusion of June I rented a car and drove south down the Adriatic coast of Italy. In English, the region I explored is called Apulia.

I tweeted this deal first from @MileValueAlerts. Follow @MileValueAlerts on Twitter and follow these directions to get a text message every time I tweet from that account. I tweet from @MileValueAlerts only a few times a month because it is designed to be used only for the best and most limited-time deals–like mistake fares–so that you aren’t bombarded by text messages.

Right now you can book a roundtrip in economy between Newark (EWR) and Rome (FCO) for $280 for travel November through March, 2018 on Norwegian Air.

At the conclusion of June I rented a car and drove south down the Adriatic coast of Italy. In English, the region I explored is called Apulia. Italians call it Puglia.

The region's white washed ancient architecture, sprawling groves of olive trees dotted with repurposed farm houses, cliff and rock formations, sandy white beaches, and abundant produce alchemize to form a truly enchanting atmosphere.

Through October 5, 2017 at 11:59 PM ET, you can buy Alaska Airlines miles with up to a 50% bonus. It is a targeted offer, but it looks to be pretty widespread from what I can see. Log in to your account through this link to see your offer.

The current bonus is as high as we've ever seen it--don't expect to buy Alaska miles cheaper than this (if you are indeed targeted for the 50% bonus).
How the Bonus Works
The sale is structured as a bonus on the normal number of miles you’d receive.

The bonus

This fall and winter, Dollar, Hertz, and Thrifty are offering dirt cheap daily rates on their rental cars as in incentive for you to drive their stock south for them. You can find cars for as little as $5 a day with pick up locations at airports along the east coast and drop off destinations in Florida.

At five dollars a day, you could rent a car for a whole week for just $35, or up to two weeks for $70! That is unbeatable.
The Deal
When it gets cold up north, people stop renting cars.
