A few months ago, I wrote Why Twitter is Important in the Miles and Points Game<\/a>. Earlier today, the miles and points Twitterverse was talking about the ex-USA fares to Europe, Australia, and Middle East for as low as $149 Taxes included!<\/p>\n

Twitter is basically the best current form of breaking news for deals and it\u2019s even used in broadcast journalism.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t signed up for Twitter yet, you should do so here: http:\/\/www.twitter.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The deal (currently dead) was started by The Flight Deal<\/a> and their site was even brought down by the massive Retweets and chatter going on in the Twitterverse.<\/p>\n

I have gotten so many great deals and deal discussions from Twitter. Recent deals include:<\/p>\n

LAX-DXB (Los Angeles to Dubai, UAE) for $271 Taxes Included<\/p>\n

LAX-SCL (Los Angeles to Santiago, Chile) for $316 Taxes Included<\/p>\n

MEX-EZE (Mexico City to Buenos Aires, Argentina) for $127 Taxes Included<\/p>\n

Here is a list of constantly ACTIVE Twitter followers that you should follow in case another deal breaks out and you want to join in on their conversation:<\/p>\n
