We've got a team of eight flight deal experts scouring the globe for the best flight deals every day for our Thrifty Traveler Premium members – departing from more than 200 U.S. airports.

Belize from $286 RT
The cayes of Belize offer good old fashioned fun in the sun and some of the best diving and snorkeling on earth, but getting a cheap flight to Belize City (BZE) to kick off that trip isn't always a walk in the park.
Our subscribers wouldn't know that, though.

This week, we found some incredibly low fares to Belize flying this summer, fall, and even into winter 2025.
All of these cities benefitted from sub-$300 roundtrip fares to Belize!
Economy or Business Class to Spain from $376 RT or 34k Each Way
Whether you want to fly up front in the comfy seats or just snag the cheapest fare possible, Spain flight deals were abundant this week.
Iberia Business Class (shown above) isn't the fanciest lie-flat seat crossing the Atlantic, but it's more than comfortable and is available at the best rate in the sky: 34,000 points each way.
But the cheap fares extended all the way to the back of the plane, too, where travelers could get roundtrip fares under $493 roundtrip and as cheap as $376 roundtrip from Boston (BOS).

Plus, you can fly from any of these cities (and more!) to take advantage of these fares in the $400s to Madrid (MAD) and Barcelona (BCN).
Nice, France on American Airlines from $427 RT
A ticket to the French Riviera isn't supposed to be this cheap, especially during the beautiful August, September, and October months along the sea.
American Airlines' new route from Philadelphia (PHL) to Nice (NCE) is on steep discount this week, leading to some of the lowest fares to the French Riviera that we can ever remember.
Bottom Line
Travelers nationwide may be writing off trips when all they see is high airfare and yet here we are: Proving that cheap flights and amazing deals to use your points and miles are still out there.
It's been another amazing week for Thrifty Traveler Premium members – especially the ones who booked flights to Belize from $286 roundtrip, economy or business class to Spain from $376 roundtrip or 34,000 points each way, and roundtrip flights to the French Riviera from $427 roundtrip!

You seem to have lots of good deals however we live in Houston, TX and it seems the low fares rarely originate from Houston, although Bush is an international airport!
Your occasional Iberia posts frustrate me. NEVER do I see the point avails that you reference even when I am checking within minutes of getting your Email alerts. This time, I searched the DFW-MAD route via AA as you instructed. I found one date with a 57.5K point 1 way Biz seat in March and a few in Feb and Jan. Nothing in April, May or June and no 34K avail. Checked BOS-MAD and MIA-MAD, they won’t even show the Iberia option and can’t toggle to one way. Seems like clickbait.
Does your Thrift Premium service ever include a mix of miles and cash or even gas only for flights from USA to say, Milan? I don’t have tons of points right now and am considering joining this fall.
