Press Release Body = Want to save some money when booking your travel online? Here
are some tips to help you do just that. You at home have access to thousands of
travel deals with the click of a mouse.

1. Sign up for travel e-newsletters

Many airlines, tour operators, online travel agencies and travel sites have
newsletters that they will send you via email; these usually include their latest
travel deals.

2. Shop around

Check various travel sites and make sure you are comparing apples to apples, know
what is included. That great cruise deal may not include airfare to the port! Also
check in with a travel agent to compare prices. They may in fact have a better
travel deal for you.

3. Consider all possible discounts

Do you have Air Miles or frequent flyer miles you can cash in? AAA/CAA membership or
other affiliations? Ask about child or senior discounts. Do they have family rates
or group rates? Don\'t be afraid to ask.

4. Make the travel web sites do the work

Some of them will let you specify the dates of travel and vacation you are looking
for and will send you an email when the price reaches your limit.

5. Travel in off-season.

Off-season will vary depending on where you are travelling so do your research and
find out when that is. Off-season includes winter for Europe, summer and fall for
the Caribbean, and when the kids are in school for theme parks like Disney and so
on.

6. Traveling during the week can save you money

Saturday and flights during the week are less crowded and therfore more likely to
have last minute discounting. Some companies charge a bit less for vacation package
that leave mid-week. Many business hotels may also charge less on weekends.

7. Read your newspaper's travel section

The Saturday travel sections in most newspapers are still a good source for travel
news, tips and last minute travel deals, departing from your city. Read them
religiously.

8. Do some negotiating of your own.

Just ask for a deal or a better price! This will usually work if you are dealing
with a hotel or car rental company directly. It may also work with some travel
agents.

9. Book last minute

When looking for a last minute travel deal, start shopping around about 6 weeks
prior to your departure to get a good idea for prices and availability. Narrow down
where you want to go and compare some prices. About 3 weeks prior to departure is
probably your best time to book. When you notice packages begin to sell out, you
want to book before you miss out on that travel deal. The prices only go so low and
sometimes sell out before they really drop in price.

10. Book early

Some of the best deals may be had booking early. Most tour operators and cruise
companies offer discounts for early booking.
