The infamous $49 flights from Southwest Airlines are actually $49 this time!
If youāre looking for a getaway to the Windy City, then check out these cheap flights to the Midway Airport in June.
As with anything, there is a small catch. In order to get the deal, you must depart St. Louis on a Tuesday/Wednesday, and then depart Chicago on a Tuesday/Wednesday.
I booked this exact flight and my total was less than $100 with taxes and fees. This is a time to start booking your summer travel.
Itās time to earn some extra travel points!
Amtrak is running a promotion that allows you to earn 2x the travel points on trips through May 21. Just join the Amtrak Rewards program, add your rewards number to your reservation and start traveling!
I take Amtrak at least twice a year to visit my friends and family in Chicago. Why do I take the train instead of flying? The train is less expensive than flying, the boarding process is smoother and I get to bring all my favorite snacks!
šØBREAKING NEWSšØ
is now offering flights to Montreal out of St. Louis!
The inaugural flight took place earlier this week in front of a large audience that included the mayor and other notable St. Louisans.
If youāve been dreaming about going to Canada and visiting Montreal, then start practicing your French because you could be in Quebec by the end of summer.
Air Canada offers non-stop flights out of St. Louis, as well as flights with 1 stop in Chicago. Both options are listed under $500 for round trip flights in May.
Iāve never been to Canada, but it is on my list of travel spots because Iām dying to try authentic āpoutineā. Merci QuĆ©bec š
