If you guys want to find the best prices on airline tickets, car rental and hotels, there are a few easy steps to take. It's very easy. You will not need to pay any agency a "fee". Your computer can be your travel agency. This is what I have been doing for yearsssssssssss:
1- Do a search for "one of those sites that offers "good prices on flights". (PM me if you want the name of one since I don't think that they would be happy if I post them here). NOTE: YOU WILL BE USING THEM JUST TO SEE WHAT'S AVAILABLE OUT THERE, PRICE WISE AND NOT TO BOOKE THRU THEM!
2- Just follow the instructions. Put the airport you want to leave from, the airport that you will landing at and the dates that you want to travel and how many passangers. Then hit enter
3- After a little wait, you will be shown all the airlines' schedules and prices for that specific date. It will show the prices for non-stopping flights and prices for connecting flights. You choose which one is best for you.
4- This is where it gets better. Those prices that you see, includes the site's "fee". So now all you need to do is decide the one that you can afford and booke it yourself. Let me give you an example: If you see, for example, that the one that you want is from AA, get out of the site and go to AA's website and book it thru them. You will notice that now the price went down a little. Why?, because since you are using AA's website, there's not fee to be paid.
5- After you choose everything and select your seats (if you don't select them, the site will select them for you)and you see that all is to your satisfaction, it will take you to a screen where you can pay with your credit card. They, within seconds, will take you to a different screen and if all went well with your credit card, a "thank you" and confirmation number will be given to you. They will also send you, via email address, a summary of your flight.
People, it's very easy and you can be done within 10 minutes, if that!. I don't have the luxury to "pick and choose" since theres only ONE airline that I can take out of Phila, US Airways. To me one of the nicest airlines. Not the best prices but I refuse to drive 2 1/2 hours to Jersey or 4 hours to NY.
Also, and this is "mucho importante" (I know it's "muy" and not "mucho", but I was "talking" like a gringo, hehe), carajo, REGISTER FOR THE CHOSEN AIRLINE'S FREQUENT MILES/DIVIDEND MILES PROGRAM!. Depending how many times you use that airline, you get mileage points and in the long run, you can get free tickets.
I have "EVERYTHING" Us Airways. Their dividend miles, their credit card and a few stocks here and there. I have gotten a few free tickets to the DR and a few, 150- 200 and 250 tickets, all for just using their services.
Again, you can booke everthing thru that airlines' site: flights, hotels and cars.
Good luck being your own travel agent.
If anyone needs any type of info or is having problems booking, send me a PM and I will gladly help you.
NOTE, NOTE, NOTE::: I know that many know about this service. But there are SOME that don't so in case you want to say that YOU know about it, I am just trying to help those that do not know.
