In today’s economy, airlines are already offering numerous sales to bolster business and this trend looks to continue as 2009 rolls on.

Knowing just when these deals will be released has sometimes proven difficult as airlines have been known to announce specials with little or no prior notice. Consequently,  fast action is oftentimes the name of the game when dealing with limited special fare availability.

To this end, Karell Air has just announced a free text message alert service to keep potential travelers aware of new airline offerings to and from Africa.  Be the first in the know and sign up for free alerts by emailing info@karell.com with your:

1. Full Name

2. Valid cell phone number (US/Canada Only).
