Top Tips For Finding Cheap Flights
Posted on March 18, 2008
Thanks to the increased number of budget airlines, there are now more opportunities to find cheap flights than there have ever been before. If you’re prepared to be flexible then you can get some great deals.
The entire process of booking airline tickets has changed considerably over the past decade or so. Where once we relied heavily on travel agents or specialist flight brokers, today we can take matters into our own hands and use the internet to our advantage.
Finding Cheaper Airline Tickets
Posted on February 28, 2008
Have you ever noticed how some of your friends seem to get away on a lot of holidays each year? Maybe they’re just lucky, or maybe they know the secrets to finding cheap airline tickets.
Before internet usage became so common, the trick to finding the best deals on flights often involved waiting until the very last moment and then phoning a specialist flight broker.
Such brokers were often able to offer extremely competitive last minute deals, allowing you access to cheap prices. They were able to get their hands on cheap tickets because some airlines would find themselves with excess capacity and would look to brokers to fill seats.
Cheap Flight Deals Hit In 2008
Posted on February 26, 2008
Could the writing be on the wall for low cost airlines operating out of the UK and other European countries as the Conservative Party - once a campaigner and implementer of lower taxes - has called for purchase tax to be introduced to domestic flights?
The tax would add up to 17.5 per cent on to the cost of a flight from one British city to another, but while flights to the European mainland and popular holiday islands such as Menorca aren’t specifically mentioned, one travel company believes the new policy will inevitably lead to higher fares for flights not just within Britain, but elsewhere too.
Drinking And Dining In Barcelona
Posted on February 24, 2008
One of the first things you’ll notice about the culture in Barcelona, and in Spain in general, is that time is pushed forward. In many cultures, you eat lunch between noon and 1:30; in Barcelona, you eat lunch between 3 and 4. Dinner is often not served until very late, between 10 and 11:30 in the evening; if you’re lucky, you may find eateries opening at 9:30, but that is the very earliest; if you try to eat too early, you will end up stuck in a tourist trap and over-paying. Make sure that you pack light snacks to take with you through the day if you are not used to eating at such times.
The Atlantic Coast Of France
Posted on February 23, 2008
Although the Mediterranean coast of France has been attracting tourists for centuries, many overlook the beauty of the equally spectacular west coast. We take a look at some of the highlights of France’s Atlantic coastline.
Four regions of France have Atlantic coastlines - Bretagne (Brittany), Pays De La Loire, Poitou-Charentes and Aquitaine.
Brittany is likely to be the best known for many British holiday-makers who have chosen to spend time on the west coast of France. Indeed, overseas visitors have been snapping up property here, meaning that some feel that the north-west coast has lost some of its “natural feel”, although there have been associated benefits.
