Tips on shopping for Air Fares...Forget Price Wars

Check out save on Airfares

Airlines have cut back on flights so that discount seats are no longer chasing each other. Less seats to fill even with the various cutbacks in travel are leaving travelers deep shopping for the lowest fares.

A few general rules when planning for your trips.



Fares are based on *dates, *times, and *seat availability. The airlines are fixing fares to maximize revenue to build profits. So a few easy tips:

Dates..advance purchases, 7-14-21 days before your travels or as early as you can safely buy your tickets. Changes can cost you a lot of money. Usually Sundays and Fridays are the most expensive days. Business Travelers trying to get home for the weekend and early vacation starts are happening on Friday. Sunday the vacations are usually ending with school and work starting up again on Monday.

So which days usually look the best for cheaper fares? Saturday, in fact the least number of flights are scheduled for Saturday. The most available seats are available mid-week and Saturdays. Try Wednesday and Saturday travel for the lowest fares.

Times..Early morning or late night departures are usually the cheapest. Check on overnight trips from the West Coast to the East Coast. Forget about low fares Friday afternoon and Sunday afternoons and evenings. Roundtrips are usually better bargains than one-way tickets.

Compare Airports such as flying into Ontario (ONT) or Los Angeles (LAX) rather than into Palm Springs (PSP). Burbank (BUR) is another good choice in the LA area. In the New York area, LaGuardia (LGA), Kennedy (JFK), Newark (EWR), Islip (ISP), White Plains, ( HPN...Westchester County)are reasonable alternatives. Miami (MIA), Ft Lauderdale (FLL), and West Palm Beach (PBI) are options especially if you intend to rent a car.

When looking at fares read the fine print! Are you looking at one-way fares based on a roundtrip, are you including the taxes and other fees? What about bag fees? Most airlines are now $15 for the first checked bag and $25 for the second. Forty additional dollars if you check two bags. (READ the Restrictions!)

If you have to change or cancel your ticket, what is the penalty? Warning..some tickets are non refundable, non changeable, do not allow standbys, or earning frequent flyer points, in other words, use them or lose them! Watch out if you buy a ticket with a change of planes or airlines. Do the two carriers have baggage agreements and transfer your bags to the next plane? Some airlines have cheap rates point to point but you must claim your bags and recheck them if that is not your final destination. (Make sure you have enough time between connections.)

Check for special fares for emergency air travel, bereavement, military and senior fares.

Some Airlines (American Airlines) have special weekend fares. You can't start your travel until after 7pm Friday and all day Saturday returning Monday or Tuesday. These fares are usually posted the Tuesday the prior week of travel.

Turn Airline Spoilage into a FREE Ticket

There is no better way to travel on an Airline than free.

First, let me relate my personal story to you and give you an actual example of a $1200 transportation voucher for travel on American Airlines that I earned simply giving up my seat on a full flight.

My wife and I have a timeshare in Cancun, Mexico and we travel there in January or February every year. Yes, it's the busy season in Cancun and after one year being there at "Spring Break" we try to avoid the over booked hotel and condos and hordes of wild, excited young folks. However, the fact is the busy flights are what we want to look for in order to take advantage of our plan to have the airline give us free tickets.

This last February we had purchased our two tickets using frequent flyer miles that we had earned with our American Airlines Advantage CitiBank credit card. A free ticket we had earned just paying our bills with our credit card. We are going to spend the money anyway so why not pay with a credit card that we earn free airline tickets. We purchased our tickets in the fall and made our timeshare and airline reservations several months in advance. We knew of course that this was a busy travel time, and that the flights would be full.

Today with almost every flight full and airlines realizing cancelations are inevitable many flights are maximized or sold to capacity, maybe a little over. That is when our luck begins. Traveling at busy times, holidays, spring break, school vacations we can almost always count on flights sold with more passengers than seats.

The airlines realize people will volunteer to accept a "bump" for money and other compensation. Being bumped off a flight is not the nicest thing in the world unless you want to take advantage of the situation and accept the airline's offer. Remember it is negotiable and the airline would much rather pay someone to step aside and not have to force the issue of a overbooked fight.

They will offer on domestic flight $200-300 in the form of a voucher for future airline tickets or even a free roundtrip ticket for use at a later time, usually within one year. In addition to offering you the next available flight to your destination, they will have available for two or more hour wait vouchers for food. If it happens to be the last flight of the night and you are at a connection airport you can ask for hotel accommodations as well.

What you receive is a matter of negotiating with the gate agents, in a polite and reasonable manner. They have limits and there maybe other people who have put their names on the volunteer list also. In our situation in February we had traveled from our home in Tucson and were making an afternoon connection in Dallas Fort Worth Airport on an International Flight.

The gate agents had made an announcement that the flight we were to take from Dallas Fort Worth to Cancun for was full and the airline was looking for volunteers to give up their seats on the flight and in return would be guaranteed a seat on the next flight in about an hour and a half. The offer was $600 per passenger or in our case $1200 for any American Airline flights in the next year.

I asked my wife about us standing aside for a couple of hours, giving up the seats we had booked for free using our frequent flyer miles and taking the later flight? She said oke but make sure the next flight is one that we can get on and still get to Cancun tonight.

I was assured the next flight had several empty seats and we would have no problem being boarded on the very next flight and arrive about two hours later than we had planned. The gate took our tickets and said as soon as they got the flight boarded and closed out they would get our vouchers and board passing for the next flight.

Within about a half hour we were called back to the gate boarding counter given our two $600 vouchers and two boarding passes for first class....not a bad little extra perk we hadn't expected when we gave up our two coach tickets. We arrived one and half hour later than our original schedule to enjoy our week in Cancun with our $1200vouchers for future travel.

Now what are some of the tips that you can use to "earn" your next flights free? Well I have some suggestions and I will share them with you, good luck on helping the airline with their spoilage. Airline spoilage is a plane leaving the airport with an empty seat.....once the plane leaves the gate an empty seat can never be recovered.....it is wasted.

Terms that need explaining: What is getting "bumped"?

Bumping is when an airline overbooks a flight and must "bump" or deny people with paid reservations boarding the flight. Overbooking as I outlined earlier is a common practice for airline to eliminate or limit the empty seats or spoilage on any flight. People may get caught in traffic, have an illness or some other last minute upset in their travel plans. No airline wants a flight to leave the gate with empty seats, money that will never be recovered. Airlines have taken to selling a few more seats than are actually on the aircraft.

What happens when everyone that is confirmed on the flight shows up? They offer to buy back the seats from passengers on a voluntary basis.

Now how to plan to get bumped

First and foremost buy a ticket on a flight that has the best opportunity of being overbooked or sold out. Think about the days that the tickets are the most expensive. Sunday afternoons and evenings, people have to be back at work or school on Monday. Friday afternoons when the business travelers are headed home for the weekend and folks that can want to start their long weekend early. If you are traveling between two cities what type of flight do you prefer? Nonstop of course, who wants to change planes and spend time between flights? My little story also told you before and after a holiday or major vacation time for families.

Buy your tickets with those points in mind. You can always call the night before the flight or even go online into your airline's web site and check out the seat map or ask the airline agent if the flight has extra seats available. If the flight looks full get to the airport early and check-in, get to the gate and listen for any announcement about needing volunteers. The gate agents will usually indicate they have a full flight and asking for volunteers to give up their seats for compensation. You can ask about a volunteer list from the gate agent, but don't act like a vulture waiting to hold up the bank.

One last word of caution. You can negotiate with the gate agent a little, food vouchers, overnight hotel voucher or even transportation vouchers. How the negotiation goes depends on how desperate the airline is for seats, how many people have volunteered, but just remember the airline has set guidelines for their agents in compensating passengers.
*Ask about how the next flights looks for you being able to board.
*Ask about any restrictions on free tickets or vouchers and how long you have to use them.
*Watch out for standby on another flight it could be just as full as the flight you are giving up.

ARIZONA'S NEWEST WONDER Kartchner Caverns State Park Kartchner Caverns State Park opened in 1999. This stunning limestone cave system is one of the top in the world. It has been held from public view since its discovery and only recently has been opened to reveal the caverns in near pristine condition. Kartchner is a living limestone cave and as such is extremely fragile. Exposure to the outside dry are could end its growth and the exquisite formations it holds. Gorgeous clusters of stalactites hang from the ceiling and the calcium carbonate formations resemble marble when dripping with water. Great effort has gone into preserving the cave; hermetically sealed doors closing before the next doors open, the idea of course is to maintain the humid interior of the cave. Misting systems have been installed to assist in that effort. The trail in the cave allows viewing but is designed to keep human hands away from the more delicate formations. FASCINATING..UNBELIEVABLE..RARE..EXOTIC

Nearby, the town of BENSON has been gearing itself up for several years for the opening of Kartchner Caverns State Park , a labyrinth of subterranean wonders that finally debuted in 2000. It's not quite up to the hype that preceded it, being a lot smaller than Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico.

Another site of interest in Southern Arizona.....Tombstone, Arizona•

Perhaps the most famous town in the Wild West, TOMBSTONE lies 22 miles south of I-10 on US-80, 67 miles southeast of Tucson. More than a century has passed since its mining days came to an end, but "The Town Too Tough to Die" clings...

Tombstone only began life as a silver-boomtown in 1877, and by the end of the 1880s it was all but deserted again. However, on the day that gave it the notoriety that's kept it alive, its population stood at more than ten thousand. It was 2pm on October 26, 1881, when Doc Holliday , along with Wyatt Earp and his brothers Virgil and Morgan (who all served as local sheriffs), confronted a band of suspected cattle rustlers, the Clantons, in the legendary Gunfight at the OK Corral . Within a few minutes, three of the suspects were dead. The Earps were accused of murder, but charges were eventually dropped.

Although the gunfight in fact took place on Fremont Street, the OK Corral itself remains the major attraction for visitors (daily 8.30am-5pm; $2.50), despite the fact that it holds little more than crude dummies that show the supposed locations of the Earps and the Clantons, in complete contradiction to contemporary reports of the fight. A couple of blocks along Allen Street, the Bird Cage Theater (daily 8am-6pm; $5) was Tombstone's leading venue for entertainment of all kinds. Seven "bird cages," much like theater boxes but curtained off and said to have been used by prostitutes, hang from either side of the main hall. The dusty, cluttered theater now holds a motley collection of curiosities, including a revolting foot-long "merman" from China, while downstairs you can see the old gaming tables and bordello rooms.

The exhibits are real enough, but there's little historical accuracy to many of the makeshift signs. You might want to skip it entirely in favor of Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park on Toughnut and Third streets, just off the main drag (daily 8am-5pm; $2.50). This one-time seat of Cochise County features the little-changed courtroom where several well-known trials took place. Excellent exhibits include two detailed alternative versions of what might have actually happened at the OK Corral.

Must See Destination in Cancun

By: Aniruddha Badola

If you are thinking of travelling to Mexico, you must visit Cancun. It is a destination that is favoured by many. Why, it is a place that is the favourite vacation destination of countless people from all over the world.

Cancun offers more than any other vacation spot in the world. It may not have the cultural and historical signs of the Mexican people but it is close the many places where the culture lovers would love to go. More over it is beautiful. Cancun, which is often called the Mexican Caribbean is a scenic city located on the Yucatan Channel.

Cancun offers more to see and do than any other place in Mexico. Created specially as a leisure spot, this place has all that a vacationer and traveller can desire. If you want to surf, sail, or even lie down and lie down in the sun on a beach, you must come to Cancun.

Of course Cancun offers much more than that!

Chitchen Itza, Mexico is a fascinating archaeological site which is just half a day away from Cancun, Mexico. You can visit the place, explore the ruins, and climb the structures which are called “Mexican Pyramids” in local parlance. You can even enter the pyramids, and see the sculptures. There is so much history to see. You can even stand where the human sacrifices took place. The interesting facts are given by the guides who inform you about the death games. Ancient basketball matches apparently took place where the stakes were very high. The losing team was put to death! There are sound and light shows in the nights where even the enactment of ritual sacrifices is staged for the tourists.

Xel Ha Nature Park is also very close to Cancun. This is a naturally insulated cove with a high sea bed, where you can safely snorkel with hundreds of colourful fish among the coral reef. It is a safe and secluded place and offers a fascinating and memorable experience.

Sleeping Sharks a rare sight that can be seen here in Cancun ! There is an underwater cave just outside Cancun that the locals call the "cave of the sleeping sharks”. Sharks are genetically designed to keep moving even when they are asleep because movement is required to keep the water going through their lungs for them to breathe. This cave has some naturally formed sedative inside it, and sharks travelling through the cave lose consciousness. It is an enthralling sight to see such dangerous and magnificent fish totally immobile at such close quarters. Nowhere else in the world can you see this, but at Cancun!

Come and see the Pink Sand, yes the sand of Cancun is pink in colour, and does not burn the feet since it reflects the sun. The roads are unique, built in loop lanes. There is no traffic jam and there are no traffic lights.

The water is lovely, azure blue in colour. The people are friendly, approachable and helpful. Mexico is a wonderful place and Cancun is its star attraction.

Check the vacation packages you will get. Most packages are already inclusive of airfares, lodging and breakfast. As a general tip, always clarify what are included in the packages you are getting. Make sure that they are really giving you their best offers. Some packages are deceiving after all, like you are not really given a discount.
