Hi Fellow Traveler,
If you’re new to the newsletter, welcome. If you’re a regular reader, thank you so much for reading my words each week :-). Your support this year have been tremendous!
Christmas is next week Wednesday, for those who celebrate it. Wishing you a Merry Christmas foe you and your family.
Good luck with all your flights and travels and I hope the weather is in your favor.
This was a very slow work week. Though I’m planning cool stuff for you all for next year as well as prepare for CES in January in Las Vegas. Also, Delta will be there launching cool stuff too, so that's exciting.
This week I’ve got the following:
Travel information for Gold Coast, Australia
Two new aviation-related news headlines just for you

Passrider Travel Tip of the Week
Take Advantage of "Off-Peak" Holiday Travel Windows
With Christmas and New Year's around the corner, flights are full, but savvy non-rev travelers can still find opportunities. Focus on flying during "off-peak" times—early morning flights, red-eye departures, or on less popular travel days like December 24th, 25th, and January 1st.
Many travelers prefer to already be at their destination on those days, leaving some flights with lighter loads. I’ve had many flights on these days in the past.
Bonus Tip: Watch out for last-minute cancellations, as weather or changes in plans can open up unexpected seat availability, especially around holiday crunch times. As always, be flexible and pack light; you’ll increase your chances of getting where you need to go!
This week’s sponsor is CEIFX, please check it out to see if they have anything for you:
Do You Know How Much Currency To Bring On International Trips?
The average group brings $700 for a 12-night trip, so they never miss out. Why is foreign currency a must-have travel item?
#1 Payment Method Accepted: Museums, cafes, tipping, street vendors, vintage shops, taxis, and attractions can be cash only. Don't miss out or look foolish when it comes time to pay or tip.
Prepare for Emergencies: Card terminals can fail, and credit cards can get fraud-blocked. Cash ensures you can handle emergencies and make essential purchases without stress or worry.
Now, you can get your travel money delivered directly to your doorstep as soon as tomorrow with Currency Exchange International's OnlineFX website. Order currency online to avoid the crowds and take advantage of today's great rates.
CXI is a leader in foreign exchange for banks and travelers with more than 1 million exchanges each year. Order now and travel with peace of mind.
