Travel Deal of the Day (March 14, 2008)

Do you want to use miles for an airline trip - watch for new service announcements, especially regarding new overseas flights.

The Deal:
As has been discussed previously in this blog, it is often challenging to find airline seats available using frequent flyer mileage. One tip that cannot be emphasized enough is to watch for new service announcements by airlines and book your travel on those routes using your frequent flyer mileage. When an airline offers new service, it suddenly has to fill all of its seats, often will very little lead time. In such cases, the airlines frequently make a higher than average number of “free seats” (seats that can be booked using frequent flyer mileage) available. Keep an eye out for press releases regarding new service introductions, and use this as your cue to book a free ticket on those routes.
