Five Ways Save to Money on Airline Travel

Big Ticket Items Can Mean Big Savings – If you are planning a complex international or multi-city US itinerary, use a travel agent, preferably one certified by the American Society of Travel Agents, or ASTA. It will save you  time, stress and money, because a travel professional is better equipped to find the best airfare deals to ensure you get the lowest fare, with or without a land package.

Doing the Bump – If you are bumped, you may be owed $400 to $800 thanks to new rules on over-booking.  Be be sure to get a voucher, and remember to use it.  Most vouchers expire in one year’s time, and most vouchers get put in a drawer and forgotten, which is just throwing away money.  The group Flyer’s Rights is an excellent resource for finding out about your rights as an airline passenger.

And because this is the holiday season, you are entitled to a gift — check the website Free Holiday Wi-Fi  to find out which airports are giving travellers free connections through the holiday travel season.
