New York to Buenos Aires, Argentina $616 round-trip, incl. all taxes
Ok, so we know we've been a tad heavy on the New York departures for this week's Fares of the Day, but this one we just had to post. Available for travel on select dates in November and October.
Wow, this is super, and no word on how long it's valid for, but use promo code 50%off in the promo code box at Allegiantair.com and you will get 50% off your flight. Just be sure avoid extra fees and "upsells"; buy your ticket at the airport and not online to avoid the "convenience" fee; don't check bags. We found seats on the Allentown/Mrytle Beach route for 1/2 off, but the code doesn't work on all routes or dates.
Airfarewatchdog, by the by, is the only airfare alert service that includes Allegiant. Their fares do not appear on Kayak, Orbitz, etc., or via ITASoftware.com.
New York to Dublin, Ireland $481 round-trip, nonstop, incl. all taxes
This fare is available for travel over the Thanksgiving holiday. Similar fares are available for travel on select dates in October and November. Some itineraries may require a connection upon return.
This is an amazing deal, simply put. You could easily spend more for airfare alone. Indeed, fares alone, just to Bali, are running almost $1400 with taxes (on Cathay Pacific, flights on Singapore Air are much higher). So for the same price, you get Singapore, and 5 nights hotel. A super deal. Needless to say, capacity is limited so act fast. This deal will "go live" on July 26, 2010--so jump when it does. Similar deals are available now, but not in the same hotels.

Since this was blog post was published last year, No. 7 on our "wish list" has been put into effect. Now what about the other seven items? Feel free to add your favorite new regulation in the comments.
1. If an airline changes its schedule before you depart on a trip, and such schedule change no longer suits your schedule, the airline must secure you transportation on another airline at your original fare.
2. If an airline changes its schedule and you are forced to spend money on hotels and meals, such as a forced overnight midway in your trip, the airline must pick up the bill.
3. If an airline cancels a flight and you're traveling on a frequent flyer ticket, any fees associated with that fare must be refunded.
4. If you are due a refund or any kind from an airline, said refund must be paid in full in 30 days.
5. If your flight is delayed or canceled due to anything within the airline's reasonable control, the airline must provide adequate lodging, meals, and transportation. It must also put you on another airline's flight if that flight will get you to your destination sooner than your original airline's next flight out.
6. If an airline loses or delays your checked luggage, all checked bag fees must be refunded in full within 30 days, in cash.
7. If you are stuck on the runway for more than three hours, your flight must return to the gate and all passengers be allowed to disembark.
8. If a passenger buys a non-refundable ticket, and said passenger dies or becomes too ill to ever travel again, passenger's fare must be refunded in full within 30 days, and all traveling companions must also have their fares refunded.
What else should we add to the list? Now be reasonable! And add your comments below.
