This isn't a blog about Houston: it's about getting out, skipping town, and going to new places.

Frontier has round-trip flights from Houston (IAH) to Orlando (MCO) for $42-$47, Nonstop. $21-$23 One-way. Flights November and December. Departures on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Holiday blackouts.

These Orlando fares are on Tue, Wed, Sat, but if it works with your schedule, it's going to be a hard price to beat, even if you pay the extra +$35 bag/seat fee.

Let me know if you want more (or less) Frontier coverage.

The list of example dates is on our website.

Have a good one!

United has NONSTOP flights from Houston (IAH) to Sydney (SYD) for 45k. +$36-$98 in taxes and fees each way. Fare has departures out to February.

United Explorer card-holders save 10% on flights booked with miles. So if you have this card, this fare is available for less miles.

45k for this route is a great deal in my opinion.
United may, at any time and without notice, change, stop or end this offer.
I'm focusing on NONSTOP routes only. I know you can often find similar redemption values for routes with a connection.
