Southwest, United and Midwest Cheap Flights for Thanksgiving: Anyone else find themselves scrambling to find flights for tomorrow to get home for Thanksgiving, before figuring out the holiday’s a week a away? (Give me a break, I’ve traveled away for the last two.) As I learned, turns out there’s more time than you think. Many carriers are actually offering cheap flights for some last-minute planners.

NYC to Barcelona for $519: This includes all taxes and fees. Pretty good when you see what the dollar’s been doing the last few months.

Stay at the Vegas Palms for $59: I really don’t advocate going to Vegas for any reason, but at $59 a night, you can almost justify a short trip there. (Also, it’s the only place in the world you’re going to catch the Cirque du Soleil Beatles show, “Love,” so it’s got that going for it.)
