Keep an eye on Jazeera Airways summer offers
With the summer approaching, more and more travel companies are starting to compete with their summer offers, and it may seem that Jazeera Airways, low-fare airline based in Kuwait, is already being sold out of the best offers.
While I saw their 1 KD flight ads, and the banner promises tickets to Istanbul for 15 KD, and 12 KD for Dubai, searching for such offers I was not able to find those deals. They probably ran out very quickly as Jazeera dedicates limited seats with such offers. At all rates, if you plan to have a summer trip to any of their destination, it’s definitely a good idea to check them out now, and keep an eye on the price. Cause even later on, if they lack travelers they might go down in price once more.

For the dates 24, 25, and 26 of February, participating Accor Asia Pacific hotels are making available one million hotel rooms at very special rates for bookings on dates from 1st April – 31st July. The discounted rate is a pretty smart idea to guarantee early reservations for the upcoming summer season during the economy crisis. An open period would make people hesitate, as opposed to this limited time offer. It’s too early for many I guess however to decide on a short notice.
Countries that will have discounted offers are Australia, China, Fiji, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Thailand, and Vietnam. Get your special rate from the Super Sale page.
