What would you do to get cheap airfare?


Cheap airfare -- it's more than saving money. It's a way of life.

Ever heard the story of Pudding Guy? No? If you've seen the movie Punch Drunk Love, the story of  Pudding Guy should ring a bell.

Way back in 1999 a civil engineer named David Phillips discovered a way to earn enough airline miles to insure himself cheap airfare for the rest of his life. How did David accomplish this feat?

While shopping with his wife, David noticed that Healthy Choice products was offering 500 to 1000 frequent flyer miles for every ten purchases of Healthy Choice products. David was looking for a way to get a cheap vacation for his family and started loading up on Healthy Choice products, but when he saw that Healthy Choice pudding was selling for 25 cents per carton David went into overdrive.

David bought every package of Healthy Choice Chocolate pudding for miles around him, spending $3000 on 12,150 cups of pudding! That was enough to earn him more than 1 million miles, elite status and discounts for life, but David had another problem. How to get the UPC labels off the packages to claim his reward?

David ended up donating the pudding to charities in exchange for them providing the manpower of delabeling all those cups of yummy pudding.

End result? Local charities had tons of pudding to give to folks in need and David got his vacation, cheap travel and a sort of fame as Pudding Guy.

Fortunately, not everyone has to go to the extremes David did to get cheap travel. FlyinAway provides discounted airfare via auctions, auctions that start up to 75% off the lowest published airfare and votes that determne which routes go to auction.

Why drive all over the country buying pudding cups when you can join FlyinAway to get great deals on great travel?
