Today, 11/9: Skullcandy SC-NC Proletariat Noise-Canceling Headphones - $19.99

Today's deal from Daily Steals is for one of those items I think is a must for airline travel -- noise canceling headphones. They are selling the Skullcandy SC-NC Proletariat Noise Canceling Headphones for $19.99. Shipping is an additional $5.99. These retail for $129.99. In general when I have found good deals on name-brand noise-canceling headphones they have been in the $45-$50 range, so this is a nice price.

These Skullcandy Proletariats get good reviews per Amazon, and the best price shown there is $45.00.

As I've written occasionally, the difference in comfort when you travel with noise-canceling headphones is amazing, letting you listen to music or watch movies without being overwhelmed by the drone of jet engines. It also will virtually mute the sound of crying babies seated nearby. While brands in this price range won't have the performance of BOSE® headphones, most of us don't travel often enough to justify spending $300 or more on headphones.

This price is so good I almost wish I already didn't have two headphones so I could buy a pair for me and my wife!

These headphones feature:
- 40mm driver units for rich and powerful sound
- Travel fold design for compact portability
- Detachable, single-sided connection cable
- Adjustable leather padded headband
- Full-size leatherette earcups
- Operates as passive headphone when noise canceling circuit is off

For Air Travel: Able Planet Clear Harmony Noise-Canceling Headphones $44.99 (55% Off)

If you've read my blog post about having a "faux first class kit" for more comfortable airplane travel, you know that one of the items I consider terrific to have along is (are?) noise-canceling headphones. Eliminating most of the heavy drone of the jet engines, the sound of crying infants and loud conversation makes every flight a bit less taxing.

If you are a very frequent flyer, perhaps a set of Bose® headphones would be worth the $300-$350 investment, but for most people who fly just occasionally that might be a steep investment. But other good makers of headphones have models that are almost as effective, and when you can find them on sale (you never find Bose® on sale), you can save even more.

Right now, Buy.com is selling Able Planet NC200 Clear Harmony Foldable Active Noise Canceling Headphones with Linx Audio™ for $44.99. These retail for $99.99, so you are getting 55% off. Free budget shipping is included.

These headphones feature:
- Award-Winning Patented LINX AUDIO™ - Hear the Difference™ technology
- In-Line Volume Control for Easy Adjustment
- Lightweight and Comfortable fit
- State-of-the-art active noise cancelation (ANC)
- Small and compact
- Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20,000Hz
- Sensitivity at 1KHz: 110dB and 116dB

Website to Track Airfare Specials for Specific Itinerary and Dates

I post a bunch of deals on airfare specials -- they cover certain periods and certain routes. Taking advantage of them means having some flexibility to travel when you find a good fare. But sometimes people have a trip planned well in advance for certain dates, and the question is how to find the best fare. If there is plenty of lead time, chances are there may be a fare special or two in the interim. But who has the time to keep checking all the time?

Well, thanks to a note in Real Simple magazine, there's a website called Yapta.com which helps solve that problem. You enter the itinerary you're traveling and the departure/return dates. And you will receive an alert whenever the fare drops. So if cost is a factor in whether you can afford the vacation, this may tell you when that window of opportunity opens.

The website service is free. To check it out, click this link.

Philips HN 110 Folding Noise-Canceling Headphones $19.99 (71% Off)

Regular readers of my blog have seen me post noise-canceling headphone deals a few times. I can't imagine traveling without a pair now that I've seen the difference they can make, and they make up part of my "faux first class" kit to make air travel more comfortable and tolerable. Right now, Amazon.com has a nice price on noise-canceling headphones by Philips, selling the HN 110 model for $19.99. It retails for $69.99 so you are getting $50.00 (71%) off.

You would have to add a bit to the order to quality for free super saver shipping ($25.00 minimum) unless you have Amazon Prime (there's still a post under Hot Deals on how to get a free trial of that).

These obviously won't reduce noise as well as Bose® headphones, but then again, unless you travel frequently, it's hard to justify spending $299 to $359 on them. For the more casual traveler, these should do fine and with this deal, the price is hard to pass up.

These feature:
- Frequency Response: 20Hz–20kHz
- Convenient, foldable design
- Ideal for airplane, train and bus use
- Noise canceling feature reduces background noise
- Closed-style, dynamic headphone with 40mm driver
- Neodymium magnet and CCAW voice coils

Back from Vegas and Ready for Deals

Got back from a quick trip to Vegas where my wife had a conference to attend. Since our dates weren't flexible, it was a bit limited on the deals we could get, but there were deals to be had nonetheless.

We used Travelocity to find airfares and the best deal was one that used different airlines for the flights coming and going. I think that's something we couldn't have arranged ourselves by going directly through the airlines' websites.

Hotels.com gave us a nice deal with our hotel stay. They had a selection of hotels where the third night was free. But what was extremely nice about that is that it wasn't that the cheapest night was free, it was that the third night was free. So while our room for Thursday night came to about $68 before taxes, our $148 Saturday night room was free! Very nice indeed.

Also found a nice deal on a rental car, using a coupon code from one of the sites that comes up when you enter 'coupons' in a google search. It was a code that offered 40% off Avis rates that you could find on their website, and the total ended up coming down to $16 per day (plus taxes and fees). The representative at the rental counter wondered how we got the rate, remarking it was even less than employees pay. Even with all the fees and taxes, the final total was not much more than two roundtrips by taxi might have cost, and certainly less than it would have cost my wife to go back and forth to the conference from the hotel where we stayed.

While in Vegas, I kept my eye open for deals, coupons books and other offers -- I stayed away from any of the timeshare promoters who offer freebies if you'll listen to their sales pitches. But there were lots of other deals around to make the trip more enjoyable. There are spots along the Strip where you can pick up tickets for that evening's shows at discounts of 25% to 50% -- and in one of the coupon books you can pick up in distribution boxes along the street, there was a coupon to save $2.00 off the $5.00 service charge. So my wife and I were able to get two seats to a show for barely more than one ticket might have cost at the box office.

Going into some of the casinos, particularly the less elaborate ones, there always seemed to be coupons to pick up for some great discounts. Some of them require you to join the casino's Player's Club while others are just offers they have available to attract people. At Casino Royale they had coupons for Buy-One-Get-One-Free $1.00 Margaritas if you joined their club. They also had freebie coupons anyone could pick up for a for Buy-One-Get-One-Free Ice Cream at Baskin Robbins. Bill's Casino had 99¢ margaritas on sale (no club membership needed). The street coupon books had discounts on meals and shows, like $5.00 off a $20.00 meal at Planet Hollywood Restaurant (which strangely enough isn't at the Planet Hollywood Casino -- it's in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace).

The Strip is also filled with those free sights that are fun to experience that don't cost a dime, such as the Bellagio's dancing water display, the Sirens of TI show, the Lions at MGM and others. It's also fun to walk around and see the Eiffel Tower at the Paris and stroll a bit further and see the Statue of Liberty at New York New York.

Let's just say that Las Vegas is one of those places you can find lots to do while stretching your dollars to get more than you'd expect for the money. The more flexibility you have when planning your trip the better your chance to score big savings (i.e. if you can book a trip well in advance around dates that airfares are best; midweek hotel prices are way less than weekends). But whenever you go, there are ways to still have a great time and save a bit along the way.

100-240v Worldwide-Use Home & Car Rapid Battery Charger w/ AA & AAA Rechargeable Batteries $14.99

This one is a terrific deal for anyone who travels with battery-operated devices. That's travel by car or travel overseas. Buy.com is selling the Digital Concepts 100-240v Worldwide use Home & Car Rapid Battery Charger w/ AA & AAA Rechargeable Batteries for just $14.99, including free budget shipping.

It retails for $49.99 so your savings are 70% off.

I've bought rechargeable batteries on their own, and have paid about $10 for a four-pack (in either size), so just by the estimated cost of $20 for those you're already saving just on the cost of the batteries. But this deal includes a battery charger with extreme versatility. Most chargers are meant for use at home in the U.S., meaning they're good only for AC current, 100-120V. So if you're overseas where the current may be 220v you can't use it -- meaning buying expensive one-time use batteries overseas. Also, you can't use most battery chargers in the car where DC power is available, so if you're on a long trip and the batteries wear down, you either do without or stop at a service area to buy some expensive batteries.

Well, this charger lets you avoid those scenarios so you can have your batteries charged up wherever you travel -- and of course, you can use it at home too for normal charging needs.

This charger features:
- charges either AA or AAA batteries in about 2 hours
- charges 2 or 4 batteries at once
- easy-select 2 or 4 battery toggle switch
- 100 or 240 VAC wall outlet
- built in switching adjusts the AC input voltage automatically (adapter req'd)
- charge in an outlet at home, or use charger while in your car
- retractable spade type AC plug for easier storage
- charges up to 1000 times
- red Charging light and green Ready lights indicate charging status
- subsequent partial charges will not reduce the batteries' capacity
- batteries last up to 4 times longer than standard alkaline batteries
- includes 4 AA high capacity 2300 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries
- includes 4 AAA high capacity 900 mAh NiMH rechargeable batteries

This will really save a ton of money on batteries over the years, especially when you're traveling and less apt to find bargains when you need to buy regular batteries. I think this will be a handy addition to anyone's travel kit. Check it out by clicking the picture below.

Save $30 on Membership in Clear -- Get Through Airport Security Faster

Getting through airport security has taken some of the fun out of traveling by air, and adding time to the trip and making you fret about missing a flight isn't helpful either. Twenty airports now have special express lines called Clear in which pre-screened registered travelers get to skip the long lines. More airports are expected to be adding this in the coming months.

This service isn't cheap, $199 annually, so it's aimed at people who have occasion to fly frequently and for whom the time savings could really add up. But right now through May 1st, AirTran Airlines is offering a $30 discount on Clear to its A+ Club Members. And since it doesn't cost anything to join that club, you can take advantage of this Clear discount by joining A+ Rewards now.

You need to fill out some information to join Clear, then bring IDs and such to the airport kiosk (where they take fingerprints and scan your iris) and two weeks later they'll send you your Clear Card.

To join AirTrans A+ Rewards Program, click this link. Then once you've joined, click this link to enroll in Clear.

Able Planet Noise Canceling Headphones $49.99

I've posted in my blog a while back about making air travel more comfortable by bringing along some accessories (I figure you can save some money by making yourself more comfortable in coach rather than upgrading to Business Class). One of the items that makes your flights easier to handle is a set of noise canceling headphones. They reduce the sound of the airplane's drone down to a mild hum, and let you enjoy listening to music or hear the movie much easier.

Unless you really fly super-frequently, a top-of-the-line pair from Bose is probably more than you can justify spending (those go for about $300), but it's worth getting something well-made that will perform well and deliver the sound comfort you crave.

Right now, buy.com has a sale going on for the Able Planet NC200 Noise Canceling Headphones, selling them at $49.99 with free shipping. These retail for $149.99 so you're saving $100 or $66%.

These headphones feature:
- Award-Winning Patented LINX AUDIO
- In-Line Volume Control for Easy Adjustment
- State-of-the-art active noise cancellation
- Lightweight and Comfortable fit
- Soft carrying pouch

Tech Specs:
- Frequency Response: 20Hz - 20,000Hz
- Sensitivity at 1KHz: 110dB and 116dB
- Plug: 3.5mm (includes 1/4 Home Stereo Adaptor)

Kensington® Noise Canceling Headphones $12.99 After Rebate

Update February 26th -- the discount taken off the starting price is no longer in effect. So the price is $32.99 less the $20.00 mail-in rebate, making these headphones $12.99.

I've written a post about flying more comfortably in coach -- after all, if you can make a coach trip a bit more comfortable, you can save the money of upgrading to business class. Or at least feel you've gotten to enjoy a better trip, vacation etc. so you feel like your money was better spent.

One of the ways I suggested to fly more comfortably was to bring along some noise canceling headphones. I've used them on many trips and they really do make a difference. First, they tone down the loud drone of the plane to a mild hum. Second, they eliminate most sounds of crying babies and other noisy passengers. And thirdly, they let you enjoy the in-flight movie, music or whatever entertainment you want to hear to make the time pass more easily.

Unless you're a really frequent flyer, I don't think it's worth investing in the very high-end headphones that can cost in the $250-$300 range. There are a number of good alternatives that can be had for much less, particularly if you shop around.

Right now, Dell is selling Kensington® Noise Canceling Cable Binaural Headphones reduced from $32.99 to $28.04. You can apply coupon code 2HR3NH394F2JM6 (valid till March 1st) and get free shipping on the order. And for purchases made by February 28th, there's a $20.00 mail-in rebate to bring the cost down to $8.04.

Kensington® Noise Canceling Headphones have a built-in microprocessor that analyzes background noises and creates an inverse sound wave to cancel the offending sound. Engines, fans, snoring, and other low frequency annoyances virtually disappear — leaving the traveler free to work, sleep, or listen to music more easily.

To take a look and see if these headphones would make a good travel accessory, click this link. Remember, the rebate period expires Sunday the 28th.

Ten Ways to Avoid New Airline Fees

Most of us have watched over recent months as airlines have begun imposing fees on items that have heretofore been free. Some airlines are now charging you to check even one bag. Most are charging for in-flight meals, and some even for non-alcoholic beverages including bottled water. Some airlines charge you if you want to reserve a window seat or an aisle seat... the list goes on.

I first noticed these on discount airlines like Spirit, about whom I've written often on the blog. I didn't mind it with them so much since they were a discount airline, and I figured the airfares were low enough that the add-ons still kept the whole deal as a bargain. But now the practice of charging these extra fees has been spreading to the major airlines.

For an upcoming trip in Europe we used flylc.com (see my blog post about them) to find some discount travel between various European cities and were dismayed at all the extra fees. We were able to trim some by making arrangements in a way that lets us leave some of our baggage at someone's home so we can make our intra-Europe travel with less baggage and check just one bag.

We booked an upcoming trip in the U.S. and were able to find a carrier that doesn't charge for the first bag to be checked, so that was a bit of savings.

But I just ran across an article originally written by the people at Sherman's Travel and published on msn.com that lists ten ways to avoid some of these new fees.

Here's a summary of their tips:
1. Get a lightweight carry-on bag and carry on all your items if possible
2. Check any bags wisely to avoid any overweight fees
3. Join frequent flyer clubs -- elite members may waive baggage fees
4. Don't pay premium for your seat type; check-in on-line 24 hours ahead
5. Pack comfort items such as neck pillows, and bring a sweater
6. Bring your own headphones
7. Bring some items to eat
8. Pleasantly complain about the charge for a soft drink; they may waive it
9. See if your hotel will reimburse you for airline bag-check fees
10. Fly Southwest which is still abstaining from fees like these.

I wrote a blog post a while back about traveling in more comfort using some carry-on items like noise-canceling headphones, a comfortable eye patch, neck pillow and the First Class Sleeper inflatable seat pillow. They really help make it through some coach travel with less aggravation.

If you'd like to read the whole Sherman's article at msn.com, here's the link.

Active Noise Canceling Headphones $17.99

Update September 28th -- Checked on the price today and it's been reduced further to $17.99

I wrote a post in December about ways I do my air travel more comfortably, thanks to some gadgets that minimize the stress, noise and discomfort. One of the items I mentioned was noise-canceling headphones. These really tone down the loud drone of jet engines in your ears (and in the middle of your head) and let you listen to music, watch the movies or even just rest in relative quiet more easily.

Right now, buy.com has reduced the price of RCA HPNC500 Active Noise Canceling Headphones to $19.99, from the original retail of $99.99. They also include free budget shipping on these as well.

These headphones feature:
- 12dB Active Noise Canceling eliminates virtually all outside noise
- Deep, rich sound from 40mm driver
- Full-size earcups provide comfortable fit for long-term listening
- Swivel ear cups for easy storage in laptop cases
- Single-side cord entry keeps wires out of the way
- Airline adapter included
- Pouch included provides easy storage and protection on-the-go

There are higher-end headphones available for much higher prices, such as Bose headphones which go for $250-$300, that might make sense if you're a business traveler who flies continually. But for those of us who fly occasionally, headphones like these are an affordable way to make your next flight a little easier to take.

How I Try to Get More Comfortable When I Fly in Coach... My "Faux-Business-Class" Kit

Okay, so if you've followed my blog, you'll see that most of the great airfare deals are for coach travel. There are the occasional business-class specials I found but those are few and far between. So most of the time when I find bargains for travel, I'm going to be going coach.

So over time, I've developed a little battle pack to help me make it through in comfort -- I call it my faux-business-class kit. I've used these accessories to help me fly more comfortably on several flights, and they make a difference to me.

The way I see it, being able to fly a bit more comfortably in coach instead of worrying about business class is another little way of saving money on travel.

There are four little items which I bring onboard with me: first is the First Class Sleeper. It's an inflatable pad which you put on the seat and up the back of your seat. You sit on it and then inflate it with about ten breaths. Since it is inflating with your weight on it, it creates a cushion of air that fills in the gaps between your body and the seat, and creates a bit of an angle so you are slightly reclined even in an upright seat. I find that the cushion helps keep my back and hips less stressed for the duration of the flight.

The First Class Sleeper comes in a carry-on pouch, with a small plastic tube for inflation. At the end of the flight, it's fairly easy to deflate it, fold and roll it back down and put in back in its case. You can find it at Amazon for about $29.00 at this link: First Class Sleeper. I felt I had gotten more than my money's worth with the first trip I used it to Las Vegas.

The second accessory is an inflatable neck pillow. I know there are neck pillows that are filled with items such as buckwheat hull or such, but I choose the inflatable one just for space considerations to carry it on the flight. I think the inflatable ones also have an advantage that you can fill them to different levels depending on the firmness of support you're trying to achieve. If you're going to be reading you might want the support to be harder to keep your head up, while you might want looser support if you're trying to sleep with your head back or to the side. I just bought one of these at an airport shop before a flight, but I'm sure you can find them doing an on-line search too.

Third on the list is a nice eye mask. I've gotten thin eye masks with thin elastics which I've tried over the years, and the problem has been comfort for the long haul -- the elastic always became uncomfortable after a while. This year I looked around for some better level eye masks and came across the Lewis N Clark Comfort Eye Mask. It has a bit more padding around the eyes so it molds a bit closer to the contours around your eyes. The elastic is a thicker band which doesn't seem as strained as the thinner elastics on the more basic masks I used in the past. If you go to the 1st Stop Travel Store, you can get a Comfort Eye Mask for $8.99 with free shipping. Shutting out the lights from overhead reading lights, windows and so on is much easier now that I'm using this patch.

The fourth item I added to the list is noise-cancelling headphones. These are headphones that introduce some white noise into the sound, which blocks out much of the sounds from the exterior. The first time I tried them I was skeptical, wondering how some white noise could make that much of a difference. But on Black Friday 2006 I saw a no-name pair on sale cheap enough that I figured I'd give them a try. And even with this cheap pair, the difference was remarkable. The heavy drone of the plane engine was reduced to a milder, softer hum. The sounds from other passengers were minimized too. When I plugged these into the armrest and listened to the music, the effects of the plane sound and other passengers almost disappeared (almost, these were miracle workers). Sometimes I'd even turn off the white noise just to see what the sound was without the suppression and the jet noise was overwhelming. They really did make a difference.

Since the ones I bought were cheapos, though, I couldn't depend on them for long. They were imported from China and had a warning not to touch the wires with your bare skin, because the coating contained oil. After a couple of uses, one side of the headphones didn't get any sound. But I knew the technology worked so I knew that it was a matter of getting a better pair.

The top-of-the-line headphones for this are probably the ones made by Bose. They're known for great speaker quality and their equipment seems to have a big following regardless of the high price. Their Quiet Comfort Headphones are $299 for over-the-ear and $349 for on-the-ear. Since I fly occasionally, that price range seemed a bit high-end, but something like that might make sense for a businessperson who's flying frequently and would really get the value.

I did some searching and chose to buy Logitech Noise Canceling Headphones (currently on sale for $39.99 at Tiger Direct - regularly $69.99). These had good customer reviews, and I liked the fact that the cord was detachable so you could just use these as separate noise-cancelling devices not plugged into anything without having a dangling cord. It includes an airline adapter so the single plug can be attached to the dual-plug connections in the airline seats. It also has a flat-folding design and a sturdy carrying case to protect them. I just used them on a trip and was happy with them; not to the point that I would recommend them above all others -- but they were quite good. The pressure of the headphones seemed mildly tiring/uncomfortable after a couple of hours wearing them.

Other than this little faux-business-class travel kit, I've become accustomed to asking about emergency exit row seats. If they are available, I try and find out if there are two rows of consecutive emergency exits (as there were on USA3000 flights I took this week). In that case I ask for the seats in the second row of emergency exits since those seats would still recline. If I'm told that I can't get emergency exits or bulkhead seats, I try and find out which row is just in front of the emergency row and avoid those like the plague -- those don't recline at all, you lose even that bit of comfort.

Well, that's it for now -- I hope these tips give you some ideas on how it's possible to be flying a bit more comfortably even when you're getting travel bargains in coach! Bon voyage!
