HOT! Additional 25% Off La Briute Self Heating Meals Already Discounted 23% From Amazon!

Important: Only the yellow boxed meals have the heating element, soup, and dessert.
The cheaper brown-boxed meals only contain an entree!
Use the following code at checkout for an additional 25% off: LABRUIT4
Each meal comes with an entree, soup, cookies, utensils, and a heating element.
If you’ve never had a La Briute meal before, they are pretty neat, and it’s great to have a hot meal when traveling to places without kosher food.
We used some of the la briute cheese ravioli meals during our recent Hawaii trip and they were a nice diversion from frozen food and sandwiches.
It comes with a package of salt-water and a heating tray, and when you pour the salt-water onto the heating tray it creates steam and cooks the meal in about 10 minutes.
The meals themselves can last for years when unopened!

Spirit $1+ Sale!
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009Update: In order to book this without joining the club just use the regular spirit airfare search for the dates that the site indicates are on sale!
Spirit is having one of their crazy sales now. In order to get the advertised price you have to join the $9 fare club (which costs $40/year) or have the Spirit credit card. However even if you don’t you only pay a $9 penalty each way to get in on the sale.
A quick search for a few of the cities on sale showed that it definitely is possible to still get the special fares in both directions.

Starwood 2008 Elite Gift Promo!
Wednesday, February 11th, 2009I don’t believe that this is a targeted promotion, as a reader sent this to me and I qualified without a hitch as a Starwood Gold member!
Starwood Gold elite status can be earned by spending $30,000 in a calendar year on a Starwood AMEX card, or by having the AMEX Platinum charge card.
David Z., who sent me the promo, wanted to know what would be better a $25 Starwood GC or 1,000 Starpoints. I would say unless you know for sure that you will be staying on a paid rate at a Starwood hotel this year to take the 1,000 Starpoints.
Starwood 2008 Elite Gift Promo Linky
Platinum members:
Choose from:
-Free Friday/Saturday/Sunday night in any category 1-5 Starwood hotel through 12/27/09
Or
-$75 Starwood GC exp 12/31/09.
Gold members:
Choose from:
-1,000 Starpoints
Or

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009Continental Airlines Updates…
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009I’ve long considered Continental to be the best airline on which to earn elite status with. While AA’s EXP status is arguably the finest example of elite status that can be earned with miles flown, that status requires 100,000 elite qualifying miles in a calendar year to attain. For anything less than that you’re probably best off with Continental. At any rate here are some interesting tidbits from them, much of it courtesy of Flyertalk user “sbm12.”
-All elites can now get upgraded to first class at the time of purchase on Y (full-fare) and B (discount full-fare) tickets.
-Date changes on award tickets will go from being $150 to being free as long as the origin and destination cities remain the same and it is done over 21 days in advance of the flight. Changes within 21 days will now be $75.
-Effective in March confirmed changes at the connection city will be go from $50 to being free.
-LiveTV will begin being launched next month and will cost $6 in coach and free in first. Limited Wi-fi will be launched later this year and will be free for all passengers.
-Lie-flat seats in BusinessFirst will begin being installed on 777 aircraft in September, on 757 aircraft in November, and on 767 aircraft next January. The process will take about 20 months for the fleet to be converted over.
-Non-elites can now purchase first class upgrades for $50-$250 at the check-in kiosk but will be prioritized after all elites and their companions have been given complimentary upgrades.
-Northwest and Delta elites will no longer receive free checked luggage when flying on Continental as those airlines do not let Continental passengers receive free checked luggage when flying Northwest/Delta.
-Continental will leave the Skyteam alliance on 10/24/09. No Skyteam flights after 10/24/09 will earn miles on Continental. Tickets booked on Skyteam partners before 10/24 for travel after 10/24 will be honored. There will likely be a short period of time of Continental not belonging to any alliance before being integrated into the Star Alliance.
-Integrating a deep relationship with United will be the main point of concern during the transition in order to get the benefits of what a merger would’ve brought without the risks. Expect full club reciprocity with the relationship.
-Continental Silver (25K EQM’s) will be Star Alliance Silver. Continental Gold and Platinum (50K and 75K EQM’s respectively) will be Star Alliance Gold.
-Continental will not follow United’s lead in intentionally blocking alliance airline’s award availability (Starnet blocking).
-ETA on the 787 dreamliner is Q2 2011.
Fly Between North America And Anywhere In Europe, Israel, Or Russia For Just 20,000 Starpoints In Coach Or Under 40,000 Starpoints In Business!!!!
Tuesday, February 10th, 2009Update: Flying Blue has extended this promotion for the same cities listed below from 02/28/09 to 03/31/09!
Originally posted on 01/01/09:
Starwood AMEX Linky (Free for first year, Earn 10,000 Starpoints With First Purchase, and 30,000 more Starpoints with your first $15,000 in purchases) The US Mint should be able to help you there…
AMEX Gold Charge Card Linky (Free for first year, Earn 10,000 AMEX MR Bonus Points after you spend $500.) AMEX MR points transfer to Flying Blue miles at 1:1.
20,000 Starwood Starpoints transfer into 25,000 Flying Blue (Air France and KLM’s joint loyalty program) miles.
That is all you will need to have to get to Israel or any other “European” destination in January or February!
In that article he pointed ways of getting to Israel for 40,000 Starpoints or less (Via transferring Starpoints to JAL, British Airways, LAN, or Flying Blue)
For January/February there is a promo award to/from many cities in North America and Europe Zones 1, 2, or 3.
The promo award cost between North America and “Europe” in flying blue miles is:
Coach: 12,500 miles one way, 25,000 miles round trip.
Business: 22,500 miles one-way, 45,000 miles round trip.
Tickets must be booked by 02/26/09, and all travel must be completed by 02/28/09.
Valid North American cities for origin or destination:
Atlanta
Chicago
Dallas
Detroit
Houston (Coach promo award only)
Montreal
NYC/JFK
Toronto
Vancouver
Washington DC
This is how Flying Blue defines Europe:
Europe 1: Belgium, France, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Netherlands, and Switzerland
Europe 2: Austria, Denmark, Finland, Italy, Malta, Norway, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden
Europe 3: Albania, Algeria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Israel, Libya, Latvia, Lithuania, Morocco, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania, Western Russia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey, Tunisia, Ukraine, and Yugoslavia
As Flying Blue considers Israel to be part of Europe (zone 3), it qualifies as a valid origin or destination.
The promo awards can only be flown with KLM via Amsterdam. that are not valid on Skyteam partners such as Continental or Delta (although nonstop travel to Israel on those carriers is allowed on the regular 40,000 Starpoints/50,000 Flying Blue miles award to Europe zone 3 in coach or 90,000 flying blue miles in business.)
Flying Blue Promo Award: January/February 2008
Unfortunately, you cannot search online for mileage availability on Flying Blue unless you have the required miles in your account.
A stopover in Amsterdam is allowed and will make finding mileage availability easier.
The best bet for checking availability will be by calling Flying Blue at 1-800-375-8723
