cheap flights posts

Recently, I saw a billboard for a company called the FlightNetwork touting a one-stop service for booking air travel. They claim to have better pricing and a rate protection guarantee. But are they worth the extra shopping clicks online?

Students who scrimp and save for a spring break vacation want their dollar to stretch as far as it can go. And a smartly-invested dollar can stretch much further than one hastily spent.

Trust me, I should know. Before I packed my bags for Europe, I had planned almost eight months in advance and knew where each dollar went.

I accounted for everything from the cost of guidebooks to the money I would save by ripping the pages out so I wouldn't have to check an extra bag on my flight.

While I am a thrifty planner at heart, others may not plan their trips with the same obsessive attention to detail. To those student travellers, I offer a few tried and true ways to travel on the cheap by planning ahead.
