Can someone affirm that the 'specials' that ATA.com put up on their website
covering the month ahead of current date also carry over each month? ie; at
the moment, they have HNL-PDX $199* each way if booked and travel between
now and March 14. Is it safe to assume that these ...

I've just gotten off a 45 minute hold with travelocity, having put
down the phone in frustration.
Half-way through an overseas trip, I need to change my ticket. So I

Does anyone know who has cheap fares one-way from the US to Australia,
particularly from DFW-MEL? Air New Zealand have come up the cheapest that I

I keep mail from united and american airlines wanting me to sign up
for their credit cards and then get 20K miles. Can I sign up for them
and cancel within a year to avoid the annual fee? Do I still get to
