Don’t forget: You can get some of the best rates on airlines, hotels, rental cars and cruises by using LatinFlyer’s own travel booking engine (it’s at the top right-hand side of this page if you’re using a computer or tablet, or at the bottom of each page if you’re on a cell phone), where it says “Save Big on Your Trip.” With one click, you can compare airfares and rates from more than 10 top travel sites, including Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity. No more wasting time when you travel!
Interjet
Mexico
The Deal: Discount flights to Mexico
What Makes It Cool: Interjet, one of Mexico’s largest low-cost airlines, has added a second daily roundtrip nonstop flight between New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport and Mexico City. To celebrate, the airline is offering some decent airfares, starting at $449 roundtrip (even though my husband only found fares of about $550 for the dates he wanted when he booked recently, it was still about $150 cheaper than all other airlines).
Valid for Travel: Get it while you can.
