Sandals Sets Fly Free Offer to Fight Staycation Trend

Citing rising airline costs and talk of a downturn in the economy as the catalysts that have spurred "staycations" -- the tendency for Americans to stay home for their holidays -- Sandals Resorts, beginning July 18, is offering a limited-time "Fly Free Promotion" that gives clients who book a minimum three-night stay by Aug. 31 an air credit of up to $550 per person. According to Kevin Froemming, president of Unique Vacations Inc., worldwide representative for Sandals Resorts, the high cost of air travel has kept many travelers home and in turn has hurt travel agents. "A staycation is not a vacation. Our goal is to help agents help their clients get what they really want: time away to relax and recharge," Froemming said. "Our ‘Fly Free' promotion does that by offering real value at a time when every penny counts."

Join Us In Vegas this December; Great Bargains Available

We will be visiting Vegas this December for an annual trip. Our recent newsletter had the details and we hope that you will consider going too. Vegas is so much more than just gambling. It is a mecca for fine dinning, shopping and entertainment with world class chefs, shops and stage shows. Call us today at -866-932-1614 for more details.

With that in mind, here is a short tid bit that came in my email today from Travel Weekley...

LAS VEGAS ROOM RATES are lower than they've been in five years, according to a survey conducted by LasVegasAdvisor.com, a company that tracks Las Vegas room prices and discounts. In a recent survey of 84 casino hotels, the website found that more than half of the hotels are offering July rates of $50 or less. High-end resorts are slashing prices, too, the survey found, with properties including Luxor, MGM Grand, Flamingo, Hard Rock, the Mirage, the Palms, Planet Hollywood and Paris Las Vegas each publishing room rates below $90. In fact, rates at higher-end properties showed the greatest drop over July 2007: The Flamingo's rates are $60 this year, down from $79 last year; Hard Rock: $69/$99; MGM Grand: $59/$96; the Palms: $82/$128; and Green Valley Ranch: $76/$139. Off the Strip, Palace Station Hotel & Casino posted rates for July at $19.99, the lowest price recorded for a Las Vegas casino hotel room since 2004. The survey also reported a marked increase in show deals and food discounts.

Airlines' Woes May Cause Fliers Serious Headaches

In the tough times that are facing the airlines, the airlines may be leaving a very sour taste in the minds of their much needed customers. With higher fuel prices, we have seen the airlines begin charging for everything. Now, we are seeing the next phase...reducing flights. An article in the Wall Street Journal sheds light on the severity of the cutbacks...

The carriers' cutbacks in flights will take place mostly after the peak summer season. Delta is cutting 13% of its domestic capacity in the second half of 2008. Northwest will cut by up to 9.5% in the fourth quarter. United Airlines, US Airways and Continental will reduce capacity by as much as 14%, 8% and 11% in the fourth quarter, respectively, the report says.

We have contacted all of our customers who were affected. If you booked your own flights, check them immediately to make sure they still exist. I have already noticed that most of the non-stop flights to many destinations from Louisville and Nashville have been cut for this fall. This means layovers and longer flights as well as higher prices.
