British Airways new New York/London City Airport flights

Remember EOS, the all-business class airline with just a few dozen seats? Oh how we miss it. But now British Airways is trying something similar, with the added twist that flights land not at congested, far away London Heathrow, but at near-in London City Airport. These all-business class flights carry just 32 fully-horizontal seats. Because of short runways at London City, flights taking off for New York cannot carry a full fuel load and must land at Shannon for re-fueling, but while you're waiting for fuel you clear US customs at Shannon, so the flight lands as a domestic flight in the US--so basically it's a wash time-wise. Flights from JFK do fly nonstop to London, however. All flights have on board connectivity.

We can't wait to try it!

Virgin America adds shopping mall for miles

You can add Virgin America to the list of airlines that award frequent flyer miles when you shop online at various merchants. We find, however, that at least at the time of launch, Virgin was not offering as many miles per dollar spent as other airlines.

Fare of the Day: Baltimore, MD to Barcelona, Spain

Posted by Ricky Radka on Friday, February 12, 2010

Baltimore, MD (BWI) to Barcelona, Spain (BCN).  $394 round-trip, including all taxes. Travel on select dates through the end of March.

Flying to Barcelona continues to be one of the cheapest ways to visit Europe this year, but there aren't that many sub $400 fares that we've come across until we found this one.

For a wider travel window dates can be found at the $409 or $419 price range, but will often require two connections on one of the travel legs. Easiest to book using Delta.com

Allegiant Air now serves both Orlando airports

Posted by Tracy Stewart on Friday, February 12, 2010

Budget carrier Allegiant Air is shaking things up in Orlando, where earlier this month they relocated 10 of their 31 nonstop scheduled flights from Orlando-Sanford International Airport to the more centrally located Orlando International Airport. It's a surprising move from a carrier such as Allegiant, operating on the 'low cost' model of serving smaller out-of-the-way airports, which, of course, keeps fares down. So why the move? Competition! Allegiant is up against AirTran, who offers service between Orlando and many of the same small second-tier markets.

Allegiant will continue with the bulk of their service (21 cities) operating from Orlando-Sanford.
