4 Nights in Budapest: $499

Aug 7th, 2006 | By Jared Blank

Budapest, Hungary, used to be one of those places that just cost a fortune to get to. Well, that’s changed. Gate 1 Travel has a 4 night air/hotel package from New York to this beautiful city for just $499. Dates are available in November at this price, though it’s only slightly higher to travel in October. But why not spend Thanksgiving someplace else? (make your own hungry/Hungary joke here). Or don’t. I don’t care.

Didn’t you mean to suggest a trip to Istanbul or Ankara for Thanksgiving (i.e., Turkey).

Airplane toilets really suck… literally - Some light fare for a pre-holiday Friday afternoon… My favorite gimmick from the recent (brilliant) AirTran PR stunt, wherein comedian Mark Malkoff lived on AirTran planes for an entire month, ostensibly to get over his fear of flying. In the process, he learned about the vacuum power of airplane toilets, as is evidenced [...]
