Inexpensive Flight Tickets For Your Travel Needs
Thursday, March 4th, 2010 Subscribe To Our Feed
It can be depressing to watch airfare fees and taxes rise in excess of $50 and additional bag surcharges that rack up the bill more than $25. Sometimes it seems like airline deals are a thing of the past and that airline operators are looking to nickel and dime their passengers rather than advertise an honest rate. Yet, you’ll be happy to know there are, in fact, plenty of deals out there if you begin looking at least three weeks in advance and check various sites for your flight tickets.
Airline tickets are one of the most popular areas of search, when it comes to internet travel resources. Airfare Watchdog (www.airfarewatchdog.com) is a great site for travelers who are looking for the best airline deals either from their city or to another city. Users can visit the site to check for updates themselves or opt for automatic email newsletters advertising sales from their departure cities. This site also features fares from Southwest, Jet Blue and other lesser publicized airline carriers. Farecast (www.bing.com/travel) has now merged with Bing to run a unique “price predictor” service, which forecasts whether domestic fares are likely to go up or down in the coming days or weeks. Classic sites like www.orbitz.com, www.expedia.com and www.travelocity.com have some of the most user-friendly interfaces.
Cheap hotels can be found just as easily as flight tickets, but you’ll have to determine what sort of traveler you are before looking. For instance, if you’re a budget student traveler, then you’d be best looking at www.hostelz.com, which offers over 34,000 hostel listings starting as low as $19/night, or www.homeexchange.com, which is a house-swapping program costing just $100/year for unlimited swaps. If you’re looking for creature comforts at rock bottom prices, you might like the idea of a bed-and-breakfast (www.bedandbreakfasts.com) or a plush vacation villa (www.villasintl.com) instead. Last-minute travelers who care more for price than where they’ll be staying can snag red hot deals at www.hotels.com, www.laterooms.com or www.priceline.com.
As you can see, there are a number of ways to secure inexpensive flight tickets and inexpensive hotel accommodations. Another great resource to check out is Luggage Online’s “50 Best Travel Sites You’ve Never Heard Of” (www.luggageonline.com/50-travel-sites.cfm), which offers a comprehensive list of places to check out. Last minute travelers will find a link to www.licketytrip.com, which shows exclusive deals over the next two weeks. Pampered travelers may want to stop at Hotel Book, which lets them check off the amenities and specific accommodation style they’re searching for, whether it’s a golf property in Phoenix or a chic boutique in Aspen. Perhaps you’d like to read about a destination before visiting at www.wikitravel.com or you want to sign up to a social networking site for travelers, like www.triporama.com so you and your friends can share your adventure through photos and blogs.
