Price Drop! Cheap Fares To New Zealand!
It isn’t often we see cheap prices to New Zealand come down the pike. There aren’t a lot of airlines that fly to and from New Zealand. That helps keep prices high. Right now there are $700 round-trip fares available. That’s easily a few hundred dollars cheaper than I normally see. Keri at Heels First Travel has the details. Essentially, you’ll be able to find these fares for travel through June of next year to Auckland. Keep in mind that the warm season in New Zealand is effectively the opposite […]

Read MoreA Farewell to Portland-Tokyo?
Written by Stephan Segraves @ Stephan Segraves
This post may seem premature and to be clear, I have no inside information from Delta or the Port of Portland. This is simply a hypothesis. With Delta’s newly announced joint venture with Korean Air it is becoming more and more likely that the Delta hub at Tokyo’s Narita Airport will be dismantled. For me […]

A Portland Sunset
Written by Stephan Segraves @ Stephan Segraves
The last week of storms have had amazing sunsets accompanying them. This one was particularly breathtaking, the clouds created a shadow over where I was taking the picture and completely backlit the hills you see in the distance. The deep orange and yellow were just too amazing to not take a photo. This was taken […]
