Alaska Airlines to Offer Daily Discounts

Contributing Editor Carl Unger believes that every trip is worth taking. He loves an extended trip to Europe as much as he enjoys exploring the towns and landscape near home. Basically, you'll find him wherever there is good food, fresh air, and plenty of stories to bring home.

Carl has been writing for SmarterTravel since 2005. His travel writing has also appeared on USA Today and the About.com Boston travel guide.

The Handy Item I Always Pack: "It's not revolutionary, but a small Moleskine notebook is my one travel must-have. It's great for noting things you want to remember and it takes up hardly any space in your bag."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Japan. I'd love to take a month off and visit the cities, temples, and countryside. I'm fascinated by the country's juxtaposition of ancient traditions and modern ambitions."

Travel Motto: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” –Terry Pratchett

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Window."

Alaska Airlines is offering a 30 percent discount from a different city every day for two weeks. The carrier will announce each city at midnight. The first city will be announced midnight tonight on Alaska‘s website and the last will be unveiled April 27.

Tickets must be booked seven days in advance, and travel is valid through June 19. It seems like seats will be limited, so either stay up late or check first thing in the morning if you’re interested. Fares will cover domestic travel (excluding Hawaii), Canada, and Mexico.
