A gift to IL readers: 
How To Get a First-Class Seat—For Less—
On Most Every Flight You Take

if you act right now!

February 17, 2009

Dear International Living Reader,

They used to tell us that getting there was half the fun.

But with long waits, cancelled flights, cramped planes and skimpy snacks, few travelers  would say that still holds true.  In fact, the only travelers who still smile when asked about their flights are likely to be those who managed to get a first class seat!

You’ve seen them getting off the planes:  They’re the ones who actually look content and refreshed, as if they have slept their way across the country…or the ocean.  They’re the ones not making a b-line for the nearest cafeteria in search of something—anything to eat.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be one of those passengers?  As so many travelers have said, First class makes all the difference.  But the cost of getting first class seats can make it a once-in-a-lifetime treat…unless you know the ropes.

But it doesn’t have to be that way.  Not if you have a little airline savvy, the kind you’ll get from reading How to Get a First Class Seat—For Less—on Most Every Flight You Take.

With the strategies you’ll learn by reading this report, flying anything but first class will be a thing of the past.  Never again will you spend the first day of your vacation recovering from a typical cattle-class flight.  Never again will you have to dread the "getting there" part of your trip. 

It’s a report you can’t afford not to read, not if you value comfort, serenity, and knowing you are providing the best possible experience for your friends and family too.

A Reference You Can’t Travel Without

How to Get a First Class Seat—For Less—On Most Every Flight You Take, is an online report you’ll want to keep in your personal library as long as you travel…in other words, for a very long time.   

In this outstanding guide, you’ll discover:

You’ll likely want to bookmark pages for references you can go back to time and again.  But even if you love flying coach class—though, I’m sure that’s not likely—the appendix is a goldmine of names, phone numbers, email addresses, websites and a lot of other invaluable information that you can use when you book your very next flight…no matter which class you fly.

How to Get a First Class Seat—For Less—on Most Every Flight You Take, is not available in bookstores.  But right now, for a limited time, you can get a FREE copy by agreeing to try a risk-free subscription to International Living magazine.

The Print Edition of International Living

You already know something about International Living since you get our free e-letters. But what you may not know is that these emailed dispatches are just the beginning. There’s always a lot more to every story.

There's a whole world of information and benefits that we reserve exclusively for subscribers of our magazine.

As a subscriber you gain unlimited access to the members-only section of the International Living website. So say there’s a country you’re interested in, you can search our archives for details…even get our contact list of reliable people.

But that’s just the beginning.

You’ll read stories that will never appear in the free online e-letters. It’s information reserved for subscribers only.

Unlike other publications, International Living magazine is not something you’ll read once and toss. It’s loaded with articles about undiscovered places that you won’t find anywhere else.  International Living magazine takes you to amazingly affordable locations that offer the kind of lifestyle you have only dreamed of.  Whether you’re looking for an investment property…a second home on the beach…or a retreat where you can relax and enjoy your retirement.  IL magazine uncovers it all for you. 

International Living introduces you to a world beyond the U.S., where excellent health care…luxury living…breathtaking scenery…and experiences all come with a discounted price tag.

Every month in International Living, we cover the world… from Mexico, Argentina, and Italy… to Ecuador, France, and Thailand… from Ireland, Malaysia, and New Zealand… to Uruguay, Spain, Costa Rica, and beyond…

We bring you the best opportunities for fun, adventure, financial security, profits, eye-opening travel… and more.

We show you the places where you can live a luxury lifestyle on a modest budget… and have the quality of life you’ve come to expect and appreciate…for a fraction of what it would cost you at home. 

Each month we show you how you can benefit from the rewards of a “jet set” lifestyle without spending a fortune.

And the best part is that it's amazingly inexpensive – far less costly than what you pay for your daily cup of coffee. Right now – with this special offer – you can have the master key to a world full of opportunity for less than 14 cents a day. (I’ll tell you more about that in a minute.)

You’ll Get Insider Annual Reports

We’ve been publishing our Quality of Life Index annually for nearly 30 years. It’s an unusual measure of the world that ranks 194 countries in order of their livability. You’ll get your own copy of the annual Quality of Life issue, with a complete snapshot of the best…and worst…places on earth.

You’ll get our exclusive Global Retirement Index, too. It covers the world to deliver the straight scoop on the best retirement havens. Whether you’re looking for a palm-lined stretch of sand…a big city retreat…a place where you can pay less taxes…a haven where your dollars stretch beyond belief…a spring-like climate year-round…it’s all in this special subscribers-only issue.

You won’t find either of these issues in bookstores—they’re reserved for subscribers to International Living magazine only.  So don’t miss your chance to get them both.

If it’s time to make your dream of an international lifestyle come true, these two special annual issues are must-haves.

In addition to getting the 2009 Quality Of Life Index, and the 2009 Retirement Index when it’s released later this year, you’ll also get a year’s worth of IL Magazine issues, plus I’ll give you $129 worth of Special Bonuses that are yours to keep, even if you decide the IL magazine isn’t for you…
