Sitting in the depths of my in-box I have found an Air Canada 5% code (in lieu of a broken IFE system I had last year). Now it's going to expire shortly... so who wants it? It's got a short life - as travel must be completed by 29/01/2012. Terms: This offer is available on a new booking only.

04/01/2012 by Kevincm

If you've flying Iberia next week, I'd consider having some alternative plans in your pocket as SELPA - the Spanish Pilots Union are going out on strike. Again.
