| Q. | what sites do you use to book air travel? | Related Search: Air Travel | | | i have always used expedia cause i can get different carriers to complete my trip (i'm totally ok with that, as long as i get there on time and in one piece).
i've looked at priceline and hotwire, and if they're not the same, they're ridiculously overpriced for the same flights.
what have you used in the past?
| | A. | It's a good idea to shop around on the websites you've mentioned; however, I would advise booking the ticket from the airlines website directly. I work at the ticket counter, and I have seen many ticketing errors from Travelocity and Expedia. Unfortunately, these errors can only be fixed by that particular on-line travel agency. The most common error is that the ticketing (credit card payment) did not go through on their website, so when the passenger gets to the counter to check in for his flight, the ticket shows that it still needs to be purchased. The price the passenger originally had is no longer available, so the passenger must pay full fare, or try to get a hold of Expedia/Travelocity's customer service agents via their 1-800 number. | | | |

| Q. | Air travel discounts for minors? Do they exist? | Related Search: Air Travel | | | I'm flying my grandson home to Seattle from Dallas in June. Will fly back by myself early July. To get all one-ways is about the same difference as 1 round and 1 one-way. When I put in a minor at travelosity or expedia the child ticket is always the same as the adult. Why bother having the child check off if there all tickets are the same.
| | A. | Discounts to minors, apply ONLY to Full Fare prices.
And you would like to book the discount fare, therefore NO discounts apply to it. Less on a one way ticket.

| Q. | What is the best way to collect air miles? | Related Search: Air Travel | | | Which air plans are the best? Which ones have lots of loops to jump through? Is there another way to save up points towards flying? How do you manage to travel cheaply? I don't mean in the sense of once you get to your destination and saving on hotels and what not- I mean for going from point A to point B in an airplane. Are there websites out there that get cheaper tickets than expedia or travelocity?
| | A. | Wow...that's like 4-5 different questions in one.
The best plans are the ones you will probably use the most. I have American Airlines since I fly domestically and to Central/South America a lot. I can fly to other places on their partner airlines.
You just have to check to see what your flying patterns are and which airline best matches that. For instance, if you fly to the pacific northwest a lot or to Alaska or Mexico, then Alaska Airlines might be the best for you. (yes...Alaska flies a LOT to Mexico...) Plus Alaska has a lot of partner airlines to redeem miles for award flights too.
Most airlines have mileage credit cards you can earn miles on without flying. Some airlines have an online mall where you can internet shop and earn miles on your purchases. They have stores like Macy's, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Dell, Foot Locker, Home Depot, and other such stores.
Some airlines have a dining plan where you can dine at local restaurants and earn miles too.
The best way to find cheap airfare is through the airline's own website. There are some airfare internet specials that the airlines don't "release" to sites like Expedia and Travelocity. | | | |
