FareFinder: Delta makes post-turkey get away easier

Looking for a quick getaway after the stuffing is finished? Delta has some interesting deals, as long as you read the fine print and have a couple of vacation days left in the work bank.

Delta has a Super Off-Peak promo on its Web site, which lets you get some special deals on flights to select cities. The Super Off-Peak days run Nov. 27 and 28, then Dec. 3, 13-17 and Christmas Eve and Day. Phew.

I know, I know: What kind of deals are we talking about here? Well, LaGuardia to Orlando for $89 each way. How about jet-setting from JFK to Vegas for $259 roundtrip between Dec. 13 and Dec. 17?

My peeps in the ATL have some of the best deals (being a hub has its advantages), with one-ways to places like Chicago, Philly, NYC and every other East Coast and Midwest locale under $144.

As always, the fine print gets you, since the airline has these Super Off Peaks for the dates stated. Plus, you have to buy the tickets by this Saturday (Nov. 29). But if you're trying to get away from the cold Northeast or just need to use those remaining vacation days, there are some good deals to be had.

FareFinder: Christma$ in NYC grande dame

We thought FareFinder was such a good idea that we're scrapping the Tuesday/Thursday thang to give you FareFinder everyday (yeah, I know, you're welcome).

So, in honor of the first snowfall here at the PTG v.2 HQ, FareFinder decided to drop a little Christmas cheer in all your laps. And what says Christmas more than NYC and those fabulously-leggy Rockettes?

The Plaza, that venerable Big Apple landmark that provided the backdrop for such wonderful moments in Brewster's Millions, Home Alone 2 and The Sopranos, among others, is offering a "Christmas Spectacular" package that can only be described a major-league lux.

The hotel’s "Christmas Spectacular" package promises guests a quintessential holiday experience in the Big Apple and includes Premier seating for two at the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, luxurious accommodations in a Plaza guest room or suite and a special "Christmas Spectacular"-themed holiday dessert to be devoured in The Palm Court.

Swank, yes. Cheap, no. Value, hells yeah. Rates might start at an eye-popping $875 a night, but considering you normally can't step through The Plaza doors for less than a grand, this is certainly worthy of a FareFinder luxury deal.
