DO OVER: Help Me Celebrate “VERY GOOD POINTS” 1st Anniversary Contest (Part 2)

ATTENTION: THIS IS A RE-POST OF WHAT I WROTE YESTERDAY. I’M RE-POSTING DUE TO THE OUTAGE THAT BOARDINGAREA.COM (MY BLOG’S WEB HOST) SUFFERED FOR MOST OF YESTERDAY. IF YOU SUBMITTED A COMMENT AS AN ENTRY, DON’T WORRY, IT WILL STILL COUNT AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESUBMIT ONE!

This is the second chance via LufthansaFlyer for you to enter VERY GOOD POINTS’ (VGP) fantastic contest celebrating her site’s FIRST anniversary. By sharing your experience and answering the following question, you’ll have a chance to advance to VGP’s Grand Prize round for a chance to win one of her great Grand Prize options.

The question:

What has been you MOST favorite flight experience EVER?

Too many times we read about all the negative experiences that people have when flying. Seldom do we hear about great flights which can include great cabin crew, a funny pilot, great food, a fantastic aircraft, etc.

It usually appears that it’s easier to complain than to pay a compliment. So this time I want to draw out compliments and positive experiences.

I’ll pick a winner based on the impact the answer makes on me (remember, it’s the JOURNEY not the DESTINATION!) and advance them over to VGP for a chance to win one of the Grand Prizes:

Grand Prize #1 –

300k Delta Sky Miles

200k Hilton Honors Points

Grand Prize #2 –

240k US Airways Dividend Miles

100k Marriott Rewards Points

50k Hyatt Gold Passport Points

Please note, only ONE ENTRY per person! I’ll accept entries through midnight (US Eastern Time) on October 26.

There is one more week left in her contest during which she has been awarding weekly winners as well. For this final week, she is awarding 20,000 Starwood Preferred Guest Starpoints. To enter this week’s give away on Very Good Points, please visit her Contest Entry Post.

Share your experiences and GOOD LUCK! 🙂

LUFTHANSA Fare Sale: Chicago-Istanbul $540.00 Among Other Good Fares

Lufthansa has started a fare sale that lasts until November 8 for travel between November 1 and December 12. Fares from New York to Germany are among the lowest for this offer with fares ranging between $640 and $750. The best fare that I find for this sale is the $540.00 fare in place for Chicago-Istanbul AND it’s on Lufthansa Aircraft. Sometimes the low fares involve a non-Lufthansa carrier but not in this case. At $540 to Istanbul, it’s cheaper than flying to some parts within the US and is attractive enough for even a long weekend to Istanbul. I visited Istanbul earlier this year, and would recommend it to anyone!

Fares from other gateways in the US to Europe range from $700-800 from the East Coast and $1000-1100 from the West Coast. These fares are generally in line with what is typical for this time of year. With the Holiday Market season beginning at the end of November, these fares should make it tempting to visit Europe at this time of year. I’ve been to the Christmas Market in Nuremberg and look forward to visiting Vienna’s this year!
