Roundup: snakes on a plane in Australia; travel deals on Twitter; Europe flights on sale — Paris anyone?
Travel deal | Paris, anyone? I found flights for only $237 each way on Air France between Los Angeles (LAX) and Paris (CDG) in May. After taxes it came to $595 (May 13-23). American Airlines also has a Europe sale going on. The promo rate for San Francisco (SFO) to Milan (MXP) starts at $276 each way (pretax).
Airline news | Where’s Samuel L. Jackson when you need him? Twelve non-venomous Stimson pythons were flying in the cargo area of a Qantas plane between Alice Springs and Melbourne. Four snakes escaped and were not found. The plane missed two flights, was fumigated and returned to service. Read: Baby pythons escape during flight in Australia
