The open-skies agreement has allowed many more airlines to add service at London’s Heathrow airport. US Airways begins its nonstop service in late March, and is offering sale fares from $398 round-trip to promote the new route.

I found lower prices for the routes I checked over a wide date range, from US Airways itself and competitors including Aer Lingus, Air India, Air France, Air New Zealand, American, bmi, British Airways, Continental, Delta, Icelandair, KLM, Northwest, and Virgin Atlantic. Since you’ll find more competition among airlines for travel to London in 2008, be sure you do a thorough fare comparison before booking.

Harrah’s Resort in Atlantic City is offering an Endless Summer promotion including deluxe accommodations, admission for two to the hotel’s indoor pool and fitness center, two free beverages at the pool bar, and a 20 percent discount at the resort’s waterfront shops.

This package offers a good deal. When I checked prices, the Endless Summer rate undercut standard room rates by $100. Essentially, you’re getting the room at a discount and the extra perks at no extra charge. Note, however, that I found the promotion more readily available on Friday-night stays, and had difficulty finding it for Saturday nights. If you can travel early in the weekend, you’ll get a better deal.
