Newmans Vacations Launches ”Fly Me Tax Free” Special

El Segundo, California – Newmans Vacations has launched a “Fly Me Tax Free” offer to help travelers feeling squeezed by the myriad of airline taxes and fees. Through September, Newmans will pay all international air taxes and fuel surcharges on their vacation packages to the South Pacific and Asia- a potential savings of up $500 per person.

“We wanted to take some of the sting out of those pesky airline taxes and surcharges that really annoy today’s travelers,” stated Mark Punshon, Vice-President of Sales for Newmans Vacations, a leading travel company specializing in vacations to Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji and Asia. “We figured that flying Tax Free is a great way to start your vacation- almost like thumbing your nose at the high price of fuel as you jet across the Pacific.”

Airline taxes and fuel surcharges have skyrocketed in recent months, often adding hundreds of dollars to international air tickets. According to Punshon, travelers to Australia can save around $500 on the ever-popular Aussie Airpass and even more on flights to Asia. “And that extra money will go a long way when you get to the South Pacific and Asia where the US dollar is still worth something.”

The “Fly Me Tax Free” offer is good for all new land/air vacations booked and deposited with Newmans before September 30, 2008, and can not be combined with any other offer. Visit www.newmansvacations.com for more details on the “Fly Me Tax Free” special.

Newmans Vacations, founded in 1880 and one of the world’s oldest travel brands, offers customized independent and escorted vacations to Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji and Asia. The El Segundo, California, based company is a member of USTOA.
