Stuff You Do When Booking Flights
Published December 6, 2011 | 
Flight booking tips comes first when looking for a place to travel. Most travelers take the opportunity of low cost flight when going to places especially abroad. Some of the tips that we need to remember are;
It’s always an advantage to book in advance so as to get the lowest price from airline companies. However, too early can sometimes be disadvantage since even airfares fluctuate. Try to compare fares. Search for multiple promos and sites offering promos and discounts. If you can compare all those deals then you can come up with a good one.
You can also check budget airlines. They are advisable for short distance trips and make you save on some pennies. Most budget airlines operate in a once a day or twice a day basis only so it’s important that you know their flight schedule. You can also ask your travel agent for this and have them book a flight for your convenience.
Check discount airlines website directly and from time to time for their fare price listings. However since they are minor airlines, chances are they might never serve either your destination or departure city.
Alternative airports are also cheaper so if you’re willing to have an extra hour or more driving, you might as well use these.
Safety Travel Tips
Published October 6, 2011 | No one is excused from having a bad misfortune or incident, especially a person traveling abroad. To avoid such things from happening here are some travel safety tips that everyone should know.
Before you go, make sure that everything is all properly attended. Dress appropriately and do not wear any mark or sign of an affluent terrorist. Avoid wearing expensive looking jewelry because they can draw the attention of bad guys especially thieves.
Travel light. Bring only the important things that you need. In this case you’ll have more freedom to move quickly or run when it’s really needed.
Do not bring too many valuable items and as much as possible keep your passport, cash and credit cards locked in a hotel safe. Or if you need to bring them outside, don’t put them all in once bag, pouch or pocket.
It’s better to bring travelers’ check and credit card instead of cash. Also, make sure that you have prescriptions when you are bringing some medicines or drugs.
It’s also a good thing to have a photocopy of your passport in case you lost it by accident and by placing name tags in each of your luggage. There’s no need to bring the social ID card and lastly, leave a copy of your itinerary to your family before going on a trip.
Hotel Booking and Hotel Upgrade Tips
Published September 5, 2011 | Like what I’ve mentioned, some of the most important hotel booking tips are done on the phone rather than online and assigning it on your travel agent rather than by yourself.
This time let’s talk about hotel upgrade tips.
Getting a hotel upgrade doesn’t only mean moving to an executive room or suite from your single or twin sharing room. Technically it can also be moving to a room with ocean view or quiet wing as explained by Harper.
There’s no harm in asking for an upgrade as long as you’re courteous enough and most importantly the timing is just right.
Some of tips include booking for a mid range room. In this case, it’s not so awkward to ask for a room upgrade. If you also know think that there are not so many visitors in the hotel (weekdays) the better timing to ask for an upgrade.
Also dress appropriately before asking and be friendly to the receptionist and everyone in the reception area. You can also negotiate; say you will refer the hotel for their extra ordinary service and accommodation to your family, friends and even company. Little disaster can also be helpful. I know someone who had an upgrade due to the server’s fault of not informing them that the menu was not available and they had to wait for a long time.
Hotel Must Know
Published August 13, 2011 | 
Choosing the hotel where a traveler will stay is tantamount to booking a good flight. You have to remember that in any travel, you must have a good night rest.
There is no hotel advice or hotel guide that you should take for granted. Sometimes even the hotel secrets and hotel tricks are important for you to get the best and fairest deal when booking for reservation.
First thing to keep in mind before choosing a hotel is that it’s not a holiday season, if you would like to have cheaper hotel rate. Making a reservation ahead of time can also entitle you with some discount and less hassle in finding vacancies.
Online reservation is really convenient though sometimes it’s better to consult your travel agent regarding hotel reservation. However, experts advise the use of phone inquiries rather than online booking since you can have a direct contact with hotel management thus making it more conventional.
From your phone call, you can inquire all the services and amenities that the hotel can offer so you can adjust what exactly you will bring during your stay.
Upon checking in, ask which service is provided with charge and how much is the cost. For security reason, ask for a card wherein you can find the hotel name, location and telephone number if in case you got lost exploring the city.
Top 5 Travel Destinations in the World
Published June 3, 2011 |
According to the World Tourism ranking the top 5 travel destinations are France, United States, China, Spain and Italy. The ranking is released by the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) three times in a year. The rating is actually based on the number of visits and by the tourism revenue generated.
Hands down to the romantic city of lights, Paris deserves to be on its top spot. Besides, it’s not just the magnificent Eiffel Tower that French are so proud of, not to mention fashion food and definitely museums.
Ranking on second is the land of the free and the home of the brave so to speak. Yup, the United States of America which is if you will think deeply is somehow connected to France through the Liberty Tower. If you will to ask me why US is one of the best travel destination in the world, my simple answer would be the glitter and glamour of Hollywood and all things associated to it – Universal Studios, gaming and casinos, Disneyland etc.
The rest would be a historical tour to China, not so expensive but truly memorable.
Then going back to Europe to visit the Rome, coliseum, more museums and other architectural masterpieces in the rest of Italy and Barcelona, everything else are so exciting.
