Not long ago, I wrote about MileMaven.com, a site that helps travelers find airline bonus mile offers by searching airlines or routes.
Now, newly created is PointMaven.com, which will help you to maximize your bonus points while your feet are firmly planted on terra firma.
It specializes in providing information on which hotels are offering bonus point promotions. The database, updated daily, contains info on
thousands of hotel properties and promotions. All you have to do is enter in a domestic or international city or airport code, and you'll
be presented with a list of the promotions and offers, plus a cool map of all hotels. It even tells you how far the hotel is from the airport.
Very handy!
Here's a new travel website that just launched last week. Vayama.com is the only site that I know of that is dedicated solely to
international travel. It offers price and booking capabilities for international air travel to 191 countries.
I love their clean mapping feature which shows where you’ll be flying to. Plus, it's easy to search multiple trips.
What I don't like is that it doesn't accommodate you if you want to take a last-minute jaunt (within 40 hours). And, most importantly,
it doesn't bring up low fare carriers. I just entered in a destination route (Nice to Rome, which I will be flying soon) and only
the overpriced major airlines were found, and none of the inexpensive discount carriers.
