Cheap Flights To California, Is Bogota Safe And Free UberPool Rides This Weekend!
The snow decided it needed to visit one more time, dropping a couple of inches on the ground outside. Here’s what I’m reading about in the world of miles and points:
Cheap Flight of the Day: Cheap flight to Southern California from NYC, $229. And, if you’re in the mood for Costa Rica, those flights can be found for $250.
In Case You Missed It: I’m giving away a free weekend at a great hotel! And, another good reason why it’s good to keep a stash of miles.
Is Bogota Safe? This is a great piece from the perspective on an experienced, single female traveler. I haven’t been to Colombia but have considered taking advantage of cheap fares I see pop up. This covers a number of different aspects about solo travel and Colombia specifically. As a native NYer, I feel pretty comfortable in most urban settings. That’s both good and bad. It’s good to have confidence but I’d hate to think I’m over-confident and put myself in unsafe situations. This piece is a good reminder to be careful.
There’s another AMEX offer to save $400 on a Qantas flight!
San Jose is starting to become quite the international destination, now with the addition of a flight to Shanghai. This comes on the heels of announcements for service to London and Frankfurt to go with service to Tokyo on a 787. A good alternative for folks in the Bay area, though there aren’t a ton of nonstop options from San Jose to points East.
Disney is ordering 2 new cruise ships, both slightly larger than their most recent additions. They’re still on the small side with a total of 6 ships. But, by 2021 they’ll be able to cover a host of destinations with repeated cruises.
Low-cost carrier Interjet kicked off service in between DFW and Mexico City.
Free UberPool rides this weekend!

Thanks for the kind words and including my link. Agreed that it’s easy to feel like a confident traveler…in theory cities I’ve been throughout Central America are just as dangerous (or more) than BOG but maybe I just got lucky.
Becky, it’s a really good piece. A good reminder to even the most confident of travelers it doesn’t hurt to be aware of your surroundings. And, creepy Uber drivers that like to touch you.
