Travel Secrets

As a seasoned business executive, I have logged millions of frequent flyer miles, routed through nearly every airport in the USA, caught countless red eyes, and traveled all over the world.   My family also loves to travel, and each year we plan at least 1 major family vacation.   These vacations include nine cruises, west coast and east coast vacations, as well as trips abroad. 

Despite business or personal travel, I have become passionate about finding great travel deals.   There are a number of very powerful tools available that most people simply don't know about.  Through the years I have learned a number of very useful travel tips.  This web site's entire purpose is to pass a few of these tips and tools on to you.  I hope that you find this travel information useful.  I would always welcome your suggestions, feedback, and comments.   We will be attempting to post a blog that can also keep you on top of the latest cheap travel deals that we find.

Cheap Travel Tips

June 9th, 2006

So you’re planning a trip for the coming months, and want to get the best deal possible. You may be missing out on money saving opportunities, though, just because you don’t know they’re there. Here are some top hints to ensure that you get a great deal on your next flight!

1. Are you traveling with a senior citizen? You may be able to get a senior discount as well, so be sure to ask.
2. If your flight seems too pricey and has a connecting city, try pricing out two separate tickets, one to the connecting city and one to the final destination.
3. If you or a family member is in the military, be sure to see if your carrier has a military discount. Or you could look into a Space-A flight through the armed forces for a fraction of the cost of a regular flight.
4. Buy your tickets at least 21 days in advance. While it sometimes works to look for last minute deals, you could also get stuck having to pay much more if the flights you need are in high demand.
5. Use websites like Orbitz, Priceline, Hotwire, or Travelocity to compare ticket prices and find a great deal!

So while are you planning out your upcoming vacations, take the time to be prepared and save money on cheap flights! It doesn’t take long and you could save big! And that means more money to spend when you get to your destination!
