Spring has bloomed, and so has my mood (just don't ask about my allergies). This past weekend in LA, the sun finally decided to grace us with its presence, marking the start of "complain about the heat" season.
As I basked under the flaming sky bulb, I couldn't help but think about all the hikes I missed out on while we were drowning in Seattle-like downpours. It might be time to cancel my gym membership and reconnect with nature again on one of these must-do hikes in the US to celebrate this Spring awakening!Â
In today’s edition:
Win a free trip to Florida on Spirit Airlines
Let AI plan your trip through Expedia
Frontier’s 50% off promo: Because you deserve it
Cheers,

Fly with Spirit Airlines to Florida for an all-expenses-paid vacation
|
In celebration of 30 years of service to the Sunshine State, Spirit Airlines is giving away an all-expenses-paid vacation to Florida for two, including roundtrip flights, hotel, accommodations, transportation, and more (yes, that includes those pesky baggage fees). Now let’s just hope your luggage won't get to enjoy its own vacation in a different state.
What’s included in the giveaway?Â
The winners of the Flyaway prize will be flown to some of Florida's most recognizable cities, all served by Spirit Airlines, including Fort Lauderdale, Fort Myers, Orlando, and Tampa, for an unforgettable getaway.
Flyaway winners will be treated to a three-night stay at some of Florida's most highly-rated hotels, like The Diplomat Beach Resort in Fort Lauderdale, Luminary Hotel in Fort Myers, Lake Buena Vista Resort Village & Spa in Orlando, and Epicurean Hotel in Tampa. In addition to a luxurious stay, the winners will also have the chance to explore the best attractions each city offers, including airboat tours, theater shows, and dinner cruises.
The giveaway contest runs from now until May 2, and those interested in winning the grand prize can enter here for a chance to win a trip to sunny
Florida, where the tropics meet the swamp!

Expedia launches in-app ChatGPT feature for travel planning
|
Fifty years ago, if you told a travel agent that in the future AI software would be able to create a personalized travel itinerary in minutes, they would have laughed you right out of their brick-and-mortar office. But that day is now here.Â
Expedia has officially given us the green light to talk to robots while planning our vacations. Instead of bothering randoms on the internet with questions like, "What’s the best hotel in Paris?" or reading through our best travel recommendations on Next Stop (which you should absolutely be doing), travelers can now turn to ChatGPT in Expedia’s app and let the AI do the talking.
Is it worth using?
With Expedia's new chatbot tool powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, travelers can engage with the bot in the app and receive suggestions for destinations, hotels, transportation, and activities. ChatGPT will even automatically favorite hotels it recommends in the conversation for future reference, so Expedia users can use them to plan their dream vacations.Â
This beta version of the Expedia app is currently only available for iOS users and is only available in English.
Although OpenAI's ChatGPT can provide helpful tips and recommendations, it does not offer the same level of service as a human travel agent. So, when it comes to booking your trip, you'll either have to do it on your own or enlist the help of an experienced travel agent.
We, personally, think nothing quite beat personalized recommendations and tips from travel experts. We still recommend subscribing to our newsletters and signing up for flight deals because the bots still don't find deals like Dollar Flight Club does.Â

Get 50% off your next flight with Frontier Airlines' promotion
|
Frontier Airlines is cutting fares (but not corners) with their latest promotion for travelers. Passengers can get their next flight half off, which means in total, you’ll probably spend more on overpriced airport snacks and mini bottles of inflight alcohol than the cost of getting to your destination.Â
What are the details of the promotion? Frontier Airlines is providing passengers with an opportunity to save 50% on their next flight with a promo code SAVE50. If you purchase a roundtrip flight before April 6 at 11:59 pm EST, you are eligible for this offer.
Only nonstop or connecting domestic and international flights departing on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays through May 24 qualify, and the flight must be booked at least seven days before departure. Taxes and fees are not included in this promotion, and there are some route exclusions as well. This discount applies only to the base fare, and not taxes or fees.
If you're a Frontier frequent flier, you'll get an even better deal with this promotion. By using promo code AWARD20K to book a roundtrip flight before midnight EST on April 10, you can earn 20,000 bonus miles. The travel must be completed before June 15 and does not include existing flights. If you're not already a member of the Frontier frequent flier program, you can sign up during the booking process.
Frontier Airlines is definitely the friend you want to have right now with all these promotions. The low-cost budget airline is also giving away 3 million miles in a lottery with drawings happening today at 2 pm EST and on April 7th. Happy promo season!
