Leather Laptop Bag Designed for Women On Sale $19.99

Many laptop bags look like traditional briefcases or messenger bags and may not be the most stylish items for women to carry. If you are looking for a different looking carrying case for your small (14" screen or smaller) laptop, here is one that may catch your eye and fit your style.

Buy.com has the Radian Soleil Fiona Laptop Bag on sale for $19.99. Their site shows an original retail of $129.99 so it's $110 off the original price. If you look on-line at places like eCost or overstock, it's selling for $53 to $60 rather than the $129, but $19.99 is still a great price compared to the other sites. Plus buy.com is shipping it for free.

Soleil bags are designed to be protective as well as stylish with the unique AirSHIELD™ gel impact protection system. The AirSHIELD™ system securely holds your computer in place, even inverted, and safely deflects those daily crashes, shocks, bangs, biffs and pops. Fiona is designed primarily as a business attaché while maintaining high standards for computer protection.

Spirit Airlines has unleashed another systemwide promo code, this one valid today and tomorrow (Sunday) for tickets booked on-line. Spirit has been on this blog numerous times for unbelievably cheap tickets (like one penny!) to certain destinations on certain days. Those are awesome and I love finding those. But these kinds of systemwide discounts can help people who travel to/from some of the cities that don't always make those incredible fare lists.

This offer is valid for travel on flights between January 29, 2008 and February 13, 2008 or flights between April 10, 2008 and October 31, 2008. All you have to do is enter SAVE48 (all caps) in the Promotion Code box on the home page when booking your flight. You will then receive $48 off your roundtrip purchase when booking a qualifying flight!

Hurry, this offer is only available January 26, 2008 through 11:59 PM EST on January 27, 2008!

I've flown Spirit and while they are a discount airlines and you pay extra for some things like on-board snacks, checked bags etc., they can really make a quick fun trip a reality by not denting your wallet too badly.

So if you want to see about maybe making that quick trip to escape the winter blues, why not take a quick trip to their website and see what prices you might score?

Restaurant.com Promotion Code for 60% Off ($25 Dining Certificates for $4.00) Mmm...mmm...good!

One of the most popular of the deals about which I post is back again. Restaurant.com, the great site that lets you buy dining certificates at a wide array of restaurants, has a promotional code valid until January 31st that takes 60% off the already reduced cost.

A certificate for $25 worth of dining credit usually goes for $10 but with the promotional code it's just $4. Yes, you get $25 off your check for just $4! Some restaurants offer $10 certificates, generally for lunchtime; those usually go for $3, so now they're just $1.20.

The list of restaurants can be search by zip code or state, and there is a really vast variety. Most certificates have restrictions on the minimum number of diners, the total amount of the pre-certificate check, sometimes excluded days or whether drinks are included in calculating minimums. But the restrictions aren't generally obtrusive, and can make an evening out at a special restaurant that much more affordable. You can try a new place, revisit an old favorite, send certificates as gifts, use them while travelling...

You can also send out gift certificates that aren't restaurant-specific... the recipient can go onto the website and pick the particular establishment at which they'd like to use their certificate.

60% off isn't the lowest I've ever seen -- it's been 70% a couple of times -- but if you have some dining evenings coming up, this may be a chance to let your dollars stretch a bit further.

Oh, yeah, the promotional code: EASY. Don't forget to hit the 'apply' button so the discount is taken off your order.

Yum!

15-Day Transatlantic Cruise for $599! Really!

If you're a fan of cruises or want to try a different way to visit Europe, this may be one to look at: a 15 night cruise on Norwegian Cruise Line's NCL Jewel for the genuinely low fare of $599! Now that's for an inside cabin, which may be confining for a long cruise, but they also have outside cabins for just $699 and a balcony room for the still low $849!!

For 15 nights, these prices are less than $40 a night inside cabin, under $50 a night outside and under $60 a night balcony!

The sailing is for April 20th, departing Miami. It stops in the Azores (Ponta Delgada), Portugal (Lisbon), Spain (Vigo and La Coruna), Ireland (Waterford) and England (Guernsey and Dover).

All that would be left is getting a flight back to the States...

And as if those deals weren't enough, if you book it by January 30th at the Cruises-N-More website, they will add in an onboard coupon book worth $150, and a 3-category upgrade.

Plus if you wanted to take 2 additional people and travel four to a cabin, it would be just $399 for those passengers in all categories. That might make a suite another possible way to go (first two people would be $1299 each so the final total would average down to about $850 apiece).

The Cruises-N-More site has lots of other cruise choices, but this transatlantic 15-day one jumped off the page as a bargain.

If you'd like another way to get to Europe and enjoy the cruise experience, this may be worth checking out.

Anchors aweigh!

Amazing Fares East Coast to Asia! NY-Beijing $741 ($399+$342 Taxes/Fees)! NY-Hong Kong for $618 Total! Many Cities, Great West Coast Prices Too!

It's always amazing when you can fly across the U.S. and then across the ocean for what you'd expect to pay just from the other coast. Recently I found LA-London for $444. Now the specials are going westerly, such as New York to Beijing roundtrip for a final total of $741 ($399 is the actual base fare)! New York to Hong Kong roundtrip starts out with a higher base fare of $403 but the taxes are lower so the final price is just $618!

Orbitz has a page promoting special fares going on from many U.S. cities to places throughout Asia. New York-Beijing is one of those specials, and I checked to verify it could be booked travelling February 19th and returning the 26th, on United, via Dulles. (Dulles-Beijing has a final total of $727 with the same $399 base fare.) The same dates get the low fare for NY to Hong Kong, with a stop in San Francisco.

New York-Taipei has roundtrips as low as $643. Shanghai also has some special deals.

From the west coast you also get some awesome fares, such as Los Angeles to Hong Kong for a final price of $503, Los Angeles or San Francisco to Beijing for $626, San Francisco to Beijing for $514, SF to Taipei for $539...

The webpage has lots of other fare combinations but sometimes the prices shown are higher than these. The best fares for flying are usually found midweek so I generally search for Tuesdays, and under search options I include the choice to search one day before and after.

Theses special prices require departure by February 29th, so it'll still be a bit chilly when you arrive. But if you've always had a hankering to visit Hong Kong, Beijing or other great cities in Asia, this may present a unique opportunity.

Here's the link to the Orbitz page for Asia specials.

One more tip: if you want to see if you can maximize your savings even further, after you find a fare on Orbitz, go to the airline's own website and put in the exact same criteria (dates/cities) to see if you might be able to save more. On the NY-Beijing, the total price at United.com was $10 less (I'd presume those are Orbitz booking fees you're saving). But you could save even a bit more if you went to ebates first and then clicked on United.com. You'd get an extra $2 back via ebates and a 500-bonus mile supplement for frequent flyer. So your final net would be down to $729 for NY-Beijing and some extra miles! For some people sticking with Orbitz is worth the convenience but there are ways to save even a bit more this way. If you haven't yet joined ebates, click here and start getting extra cash back at many stores. Till February 14th you get a $10 credit just for joining!

Why not take a look at Orbitz to see if that special vacation is in your reach?
