Free flights (no kidding)

Posted by: Dean Foust on March 11

virgin.gifYou can fly for free one of two ways: By accruing enough frequent-flier miles, or simply by buying tickets at the right time. And that time is now. With oil at $108 a barrel, airlines are anxious to drum up traffic – so much so that they’ll give you a free ticket for future travel. Members of Virgin America’s frequent-flier program, EleVAte, who purchase two paid round-trip flights between March 5 and May 4 will earn a free round-trip ticket good for use through June 1. And the amazing thing is there isn’t much fine print on this deal. Simply refer to the “FLY2GET1” promotion. Virgin America serves San Francisco, Las Vegas, LA, New York, San Diego, Seattle and Washington D.C.

Great deal -- why doesn't Virgin fly into the world's busiest airport where I live... Atlanta? dm
