Just a heads up that you can fly to London, Manchester or the Turks for less than 175.00 one way with a return. It is showing this out of a ton of U.S. cities. U.S. Air always posts its new international travel deals on Wed.

I'm a massage therapist, so is my wife. We get a fair amount of time off, but during the holiday season, theres no chance, they black out vacations Nov. - Feb. So unfortunately I seem to do most of my traveling when everybody else in the world is.

Ahhhhhh flight benefits, super jealous!! My job is super easy luckily. I only work about 25 hours a week. Can't really complain. No way in hell that I would do a 9-5er though. Not for me. I did massage in charlotte douglas international airport for about a year, which was so much fun. I miss being around the airport daily. Does make me want to jump on a plane when I'm there though.

you know we have a hub in CTL and you could probably work like two days a week like the guy out here does. You should look into it!

Not a bad idea. I didn't get any flight breaks just working in the airport. All I can say is that I am TSA cleared. I use a friends buddy pass every now and then.
