I've a very helpful travel agent who knows me, what I like and dont, and who is particularly good at finding the cheap fares that the airlines offer through booking agents. She knows months ahead where and when I'm flying and has a watch program looking for those deals.<br />I might find something cheaper, but then, its easy to mess up as well when there are multiple flights involved.<br /><br />The other issue is that I dont have a credit card, thats a huge saving that more than makes up for the occasional inconvenience in not being able to buy on line.<br /><br />John WelsfordJohn Welsfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058513465858775154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349800934689829416.post-75497750265004590312014-05-18T18:08:53.997-07:002014-05-18T18:08:53.997-07:00I have to travel a lot for my business, mostly in ...I have to travel a lot for my business, mostly in Europe and Asia, but often in the states to cities like Las Vegas. I used to use sites like Travelocity to book my flights and lodging, but I stumbled upon the better way to find deals: go to the second level sites - those like http://hotelsmixmatch.com who compare the hundreds of different booking sites in one single search. You'll not only see Trivago or Expedia deals, but ALL OF THEM in one place.<br /><br />I must have saved over 3,000 Euros since I started using them. I sincerely believe that using only one of the top booking sites is not necessarily the best idea.MrSMKillershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16329436533601629225noreply@blogger.com
