Easier on the wallet, this Courier Brief Laptop Bag normally goes for $250 dollars — less of a sticker shock, but still enough to break the bank if you're on a budget. However, right now the Courier Brief is on sale for $130 at Flight 001. Not just for looks, the two accessory compartments and padded interior will fit your 17 inch laptop, along with a few pens and some flash drives. Plus, the detachable shoulder strap makes this bag easy to tote when you're on the go.
I consider myself lucky since I live only a few blocks from a Flight 001 store here in San Francisco, and can browse their goodies anytime I want. But for those of you who aren't within walking (or driving) distance of the travel gurus, they are about to make it up to you. Right now on Flight001.com, they're offering up 50% off of select items, plus you can get an additional 10% off when you enter the coupon code LAST CALL at check out.
In case math isn't your strong point, that's 60% off! And besides the Last Call sale, they're clearing out a bunch of other goods, like the crisp, blue Live Twice Leather Bag ($112 down from $225), which would make an amazing and stylish little weekender bag to add to my collection. I mean . . . your collection.
If I ever needed an excuse to head to the Bahamas (which I don't), this just might tip the scales in the island's favor.
From now until February 9th, when you book your air-included vacation to Nassau Paradise Island, you get a $200 dollar rebate after you return to reality. All you'll need to do is travel between now and July 31st, stay three nights (totally doable), check out, send in your printable rebate form (don't forget to attach your hotel folio), and in a few weeks your wallet will be a bit heavier with the addition of a few Benjamins.
There are some rules and restrictions, like you have to stay at one of the participating hotels, and you can only use one rebate cupon per room, but hey, $200 bucks would easily cover my drinks for a three night stay. Well, maybe not so easily. . . My hotel of choice? The Atlantis, naturally. Seriously, have you seen the pool?
The orignal Virgin America Go Sale was scheduled to end on January 20th, but the super saver promotion has been extended by a week. Get flights as low as $59 bucks from San Francisco to hot places like Vegas and San Diego. Side note: I've been to San Diego a few times, but have yet to see the Zoo. Maybe now's my chance!
Plus if you live in Boston, New York, Or DC, you can get your flight on to SF, LA or Las Vegas (lucky you), for chump change: $139 dollars. It's a great sale, and since now Virgin offers on-board WiFi, a kick-ass entertainment system, and some pretty sweet mood lighting, it's seems that it's time to whip out that credit card for a much needed vacay. You can thank me later.
Veteran Australian airline Quantas has been flying for 83 years, so it's no wonder they are on the cutting edge of aeronautics. Not only have they introduced us Bay Area hippies to a greener way to fly, but we can now do it in style and relaxation. The A380 is Quantas' newest jet in the fleet, offering luxury suites complete with lie-flat beds, flat screen TVs and turn down service. Even the folks in business class get those same eye catching amenities, but they're gonna have to suck it up and share the aisle with another person. Darn. In addition to their high tech add-ons like power connections, a business lounge, and an interactive media center, the A380 jumbo jets boast a 10% improvement on fuel efficiency and carbon emissions, and is said to cut down noise by as much as half.
But the best part about this luxury liner in the sky? Well for us in San Francisco — who got it's first Quantas flight into SFO this past week — it means low introductory fares as low as $380 bucks each way. I know, shocking, right? Excuse me while I clear my calendar for September . . .
