A little over a month back, I wrote about “Beijing, China- $291 Roundtrip, A Deal Too Good To Pass Up.”

Around 10 days later, reports started coming out about the coronavirus. At first it didn’t seem to be bad but as the days passed, the reports got worse. I decided to call Expedia to cancel my flight without penalty. I wrote an update about that $291 roundtrip deal to Beijing.

After canceling, I was left with a little over two weeks to find another deal or I’d end up home during February break. Continue reading NYC- Amsterdam: $356 RT, Sweet Deal After Our China Plan Fell Through →

For quite some time, I’ve been on the look out for an airfare deal for February break (aka Midwinter Recess in NYC.)

This year, Kim can’t take off of work during this time so the plan was for Lucas and I to go on a Father- Son Trip for the first time in a while.

When I mentioned the idea to Lucas, he was really excited. I asked him for ideas of where we should go. His first thought was Paris! I’d say he made a great choice but we were just there last winter break (December 2018).

I kept an eye on Paris prices just in case nothing else materialized until I came across a deal to Beijing, China. Continue reading Beijing, China- $291.39 Roundtrip, A Deal Too Good To Pass Up! →
