The girl I was with got a Breitling with diamonds and shit on it for $180. It's $4975 on the same website.
Aloha!

Kona, I hate to burst your bubble, but I own a Breitling with a diamond bezel Super Avenger, and there is NO WAY it can be authentic at $180USD. Mine cost $12,000USD and in Brazil, it is as high as $18,000USD.

There is only one legitimate retailer I found that is an AUTHORIZED retailer on Breitling's website that sells authentic OMEGA, Breitling and ROLEX watches. He is at the duty free section of Bogota's International airport as soon as you pass immigration authorities LEAVING Colombia. he is legit and is listed as an authorized retailer on Breitling.com website.

Typically, his watches are 30-40% off what you would pay at a retailer outside Duty free. I saw one of his Breitling watches for $2,200USD, and it sold for $3,800 at a normal jeweler. I was pissed!!!

These things are real. They have to be stolen.

The girl sold the Breitling to a watch shop in Honolulu for $1500.

I wish I would have bought more of them, but I didn't want to risk it.

Aloha!

Anyone knows of deals from LA to europe?

Or the cheapest route possible? I know Tim Ferriss recommends something like southwest airlines to NY then head to London/Paris, and finally take wizzair/whatever to final destination.

No, but this was in today's paper about Spirit:

$45 for a carry on is a little over the top if you ask me?

Within SA, if you know your dates, then getting an air pass would be a good option as you'd save some good cash. You must purchase your air pass outside of SA. Check online about air passes (there are 2 types, the ones for the entire South America and the ones for Brasil. You can choose anywhere from 3 to 8 flights on your pass, you have 21 days to use them all. But do google it and ask your local travel agency about helping you with booking it. Another good option, specially for Brasil as that's what I'm most familiar with, is that from time to time, the Brasilian carriers have some awesome promotions like buy one way at normal rate and get the return for 1 Real or other times, you can purchase some deeply discounted prices when they run their promotions. Just check their sites on a regular basis. I'm both a TAM and GOL frequent flyer and will have enough miles on my next trip to get some free flghts. So do sign up on their sites for their frequent flyer programmes, it's worth it. For Brasil check the following air lines specially, TAM, GOL, Ocean Air. Varig used to be awesome specially their international flights which was one of the best in the world in terms of service, but after it almost went down, it's not the same anymore.
I'm not familar with other countries within SA, so others would be more than welcomed to chip on for other countries.

I flew SpiritAir when I went to Cuzco Winter of 2008. All I can say is that while it is cheap, it isn't the most comfortable ride. If you have high tolerance for crying babies and obese 40 year olds coughing for 6-8 hours straight, props to you. Also, you can't be claustrophobic. Personally, I'd ride it again since some of the deals are too good to pass up when on budget.

Europe to West Africa

Thomas Cook do dirt cheap flights from London to Bangul, the Gambia.
Less than 250GBP!
Defo the cheapest way to get to west Africa.

Europe to Latin America

Air Europa & BA seem the cheapest.
I wonder if there is a better alternative... any more suggestions?

[naughtynomad]

Never mind! I found it...

Brussels - Cuba / Mexico for less than €250!!!! with Jetairfly

It was only €140 if you flew today!!!! That's including tax.

Insane! What a find.

Try to get on someones benefits who works for the airlines (Domestic Partner/Companion Pass for the year)...you can fly anywhere in the world If they work for one of the majors (United/Continental/American Airlines/Delta). I wouldnt use buddy passes but If you work the aforementioned angle you can skip out anytime you want on any carrier.

For 72 Hours Only, $39 travel deal on southwest

http://www.southwest.com/birthdaysale/?s...SALE100622

In 4-Hour Workweek, Tim Ferris states that one of his techniques for scoring on flight deals is to use international hub cities like Panama City or London as departure cities, then checking out fares on sites like Expedia or Travelocity, then going to Priceline and putting in a starting bid of around 50% of the price he saw, then bumping it up til it's obvious you won't be getting a deal anymore. I've signed up on Priceline but I see that the departure city are only US cities, nothing international. Has anyone used Priceline to score on fully international flights? If so, what's the trick?

Also, you guys know of any deals on flights from Canada to Iceland and Europe? That JetAirFly site def has some great deals

[Pepini]

They emailed me this one:

http://www.cheapoair.com/travel/promos/j...0-Lyris-NO

The email said if you put in NY15 in the coupon code section you get another $15 off your purchase price.

That sounds to me like you could fly from Orlando to Bogota for $137 roundtrip. Does that sound too good to be true?

Aloha!

[naughtynomad]

does anyone know the best site for Canada ? Every flight from YVR to Thailand or South America is around $1000 .

[beebopaloo]

NN, that sounds crazy!

But I just double checked and was able to confirm it for myself.

Are you doing the big west africa trip? How long have you got? And how are the girls in that area of the country? Guess they are pretty muslim and very, very black.

[rumguzzler]

Hmm... scratch that.

I'm flying CPH-MGA, GUA-NYC and NYC-CPH, and it wasn't cheaper. But I bought my ticket a while ago.

[naughtynomad]

ATTENTION: I got a spare ticket to the Gambia in West Africa. I'll sell it for €60!!!!
26th of March from Manchester in the UK..

[subutai]

LOL. Gambia?!

[solo]

On Lufthansa's site I found a return ticket Oslo - Frankfurt - Rio de Janeiro for 690 euros or 890 USD. It seems you just have to book WELL in advance to find deals like that.

If I hade the money I would book that now.

[Mentavious]

Didn't check the travel dates.

Turkish air is a step above delta and the rest of the US carriers. They always have flight deals.

Not a fuel dump but this blog post details how airline ticketing can be exploited.
