3. 5 Days Until American Airlines and US Airways Accounts Are Merged (Maybe)
One Mile at a Time reports, American Airlines and US Airways frequent flyer accounts should be merged by March 28, 2015, (this Saturday).However, this is just a target date and things could change.
You have until April 12, 2015, to apply for the Barclaycard US Airways card. Folks who already have this card, will be receiving the new American Airlines Aviator card in the mail soon.

4. Round-Trip Flights Within Asia for Just ~$5
Via Secret Flying, you can get round-trip flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to several other Malaysian cities for ~$5 round-trip on Air Asia! Book by March 29, 2015.
I also found great deals on fares to and from other spots within Asia such as Indonesia, the Philippines, and Thailand.
This sale is good for travel from September 1, 2015, to May 31, 2016.
For example, I found round-trip flight from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi for ~$5.
I also found flights from Manila to Cebu for ~$10.
Other cities include:
- Bangkok
- Chiang Mai
- Jakarta
- Singapore
Keep in mind, Air Asia charges lots of fees including up to $30 per checked bag each way (depending on weight). So do the math to see if this deal makes sense for you!
