• In honor of the Montreal couchsurfer that I’m hosting right now, I’m posting this deal from Air Canada, which includes some great deals from the U.S. to Canada this summer.

If you’re thinking of heading up to my all-time favorite city to be in during the months of May and June, Montreal, for the Montreal Jazz Festival (this year featuring everyone from Tony Bennett, Stevie Wonder, and Ben Harper), you can get up to Montreal for as little as $99 each way from New York and similarly low prices from around the country.

• LAN is offering some great deals for those thinking of jetting down to Peru and seeing Machu Picchu this summer. Only $490 from LA, $463 from NYC, and only $277 from Miami. (UPDATE: This contest for a free trip to Peru was just announced, register here.)

• I’m not totally oblivous to the fact that these are hard times for many people, and it’s even harder when they know that summer’s coming up and a vacation may be out of the picture. Well that’s no excuse. For as little as $1, you can hop on the Megabus (it has to be good, the word “mega” is in the name) and travel to over 30 cities throughout the eastern portions of North America.
