Thirty five percent off is a huge deal when it comes to discount airfares. I thought I would post this even though it is late in the day and I found some deals on this myself. Southwest is currently running a one-day sale today for 35% off select flights on May 22nd, May 30-31, June 5-6, July 4-5. The discount is only for Wanna Get Away Fares, which are Southwest’s lowest fares already. Since this is a one-day sale all travel must be booked today on 5/15/2012 by Midnight. Use discount code SUMMER12. If you are interested in gaining the most Southwest Rapid Rewards points as possible I suggest you read this.

Club Carlson 4,500 free bonus point sign-up to use at Radisson Hotels
This takes a few steps but is totally worth it if you want a head start on the rewards program used for Radisson hotels worldwide. It says that you need an e-Rewards membership to do this but I signed up for this without one. e-Rewards is a great program to sign up for if you have time to click on sites and fill out surveys you can top off your Hilton HHonors, Hawaii Air, or American AAdvantage accounts. When you fill out this form and enter promo code (ERWD2012) you can join Club Carlson today and receive 4,500 bonus Gold Points.
No this is quite a different approach than most offers because normally you have to join e-Rewards to get bonus points for Delta or American Airlines and that normally amounts to 250 miles. This offer allows you to sign up in Club Carlson today and receive 4,500 bonus points without even having to become an e-Rewards member.

Pet Owners in Uproar over United and Continental PetSafe Program
Starting March 3, United Airlines and its charter jets will change the way they transport your pet. And although the airline’s fees for transporting animals are in line with what other carriers charge, the change could end up costing pet owners thousands of dollars. The change in policy means pets will now be transported as cargo rather than checked luggage. Some military families living overseas are outraged by a new United Airlines policy that will require pets that can’t fly in the cabin to travel as cargo.
Why is this happening? Well it comes from a merger that was let through by US Government from the mega-airlines and this is what happens when two big corporations get together. This pet transport program is not new though it was already established on Continental known as “PetSafe.” This means your your loved pets can no longer go on board for the $250 it normally costs from U.S. destinations and some international travel. Military families may end up paying up to $1,500 having their pets flying as cargo. There are already several petitions online to get this policy reversed.
