BEST FLIGHTS OF THE WEEK:

Air Tahiti Nui is offering sales this week on roundtrip flights and flight + hotel packages. Currently, you can book a roundtrip from LAX to Tahiti for less than $800. If you include your hotel stay, you’ll add around $1,000 to that price tag for a seven-day vacation in paradise.
FLY AROUND AMERICA FOR $20 EACH-WAY WITH FRONTIER’S LABOR DAY SALES
Frontier is offering a chance to see a new corner of America this weekend for as little as $20 each-way. Granted that comes with a big caveat. You’ll still need the throw down $35 for a carry-on bag. So, think of this one more as $55 each-way. Still, that’s a great price to see a new corner of the country over the upcoming three-day weekend.
20% OFF ALL SEATS WITH AIR ASIA
If you shop Air Asia’s one-way fares, you can easily find flights from Honolulu to Osaka, Japan, for $220 each-way. That’s already a great price. Right now, you can score an additional 20 percent off those tickets — making Asia that much more accessible.

BEST WILD SPLURGE OF THE WEEK:
SAVE UP TO $11,000 ON ANTARCTIC SAILINGS THIS WINTER WITH ABERCROMBIE & KENT
Saving $11,000 on any vacation feels like a big win. Abercrombie & Kent run some of the highest-end luxe travel experiences in the world. And to get that $11k in savings, you’ll need to book a stateroom for two, wherein you’ll each save $4,000 off the base price and then receive a $1,500 flight credit each. So, basically, you’ll be saving $4k with a free flight to see Antarctica this year. Not too shabby if you ask us.
Be warned, the price tag on this trip is still $18,995 with the $4,000 already shaved off the top. Still, that’s 18 days on a small vessel that sails from Argentina to the Falkand Islands, South Georgia Islands, South Shetland Islands, and Antarctica. That’s an adventure of a lifetime.
