How and where to sign up for deal newsletters and fare alerts on foreign-based airlines

Posted by George Hobica on Thursday, September 16, 2010

More and more, foreign-based airlines are resorting 

to special "members only" sales and promo codes 

that can be redeemed only on their web sites. So how 

do you get wind of these? Well, of course, you can 

read this blog, where we track them all. Or if 

you're a DIY kind of person, you can sign up for 

the airlines' email streams. For some reason, it takes 

a lot of diggin to find where to sign up on some airlines' 

web sites, so as a public service (we're all about 

service after all) we've gathered links to some 

of the larger international airlines all in one handy 

dandy place.  Sign up today and start saving!
