Most travelers agree that getting a low price hotel close to where you will be visiting is a good plan. Since you will be spending very little time in it, why pay a fortune for it? However, when you travel in the off season you can take advantage of deep discounts. You can get suite for the price of a regular room. You may be able to upgrade from a three star hotel to a five star hotel for the same price.

Keeping warm on a cold flight

This tip is just great and a loved by flight attendants.

1. After you complete your bottle water, keep the container and check with the flight attendant about filling your bottle with a mixture of tap water and hot water from the coffee maker.

After a couple refills you will get the combination just right, and what do you know: an instant disposable hot-water bottle.

It can be used as lumbar support, a sore-muscle reliever, or, if you think like me, as a wonderful foot friend that will keep you warm the whole flight.

2. Dress in a couple layers of clothing, preferably made from wool, cotton or synthetic fleece. As you move to the cabin, remove one layer at a time.

This will keep you from sweating, and if you need more warmth, you’ll have a layer to put back on.

Make sure your online travel is done right

Just a few tips to make sure your online travel bookings doesn’t go wrong:

Speak with a human being. Sometimes airline and travel agents can find routings and fares that aren’t placed into the computer. Often the front-desk clerk at a hotel can tell you about vacancies that aren’t listed online or with the 800 reservations number.

Match up dates against a calendar before you reserve travel.

In a time of international travel, suitcases of clothes, toiletries and souvenirs could end up anywhere, perhaps Turkey, Denver or even Addis Ababa.

But even though most lost airline luggage is successfully returned to its owner, the remainder, more often than not, finds its way to a far more improbable location — a small town in Alabama.

2. Getting flights back on the weekend of Jan 5-6 will be difficult—it’s the busiest weekend in the season. If you can return after Jan. 5–6, it opens a lot more possibilities.
