Travel Discount Strategy

May 2, 2007

NYC to Europe:

New York City has three International Airport Hubs: JFK, LaGuardia (LGA), and Newark (EWR, which is actually in Newark, NJ). Due to the volume of connecting flights at these three airports, many International flights originate at these airports. Often, airfare discounts are best on these flights.

1. What is your final destination? For this example, let us choose London, UK. The process remains the same regardless of where you choose to fly.

   Search all of the following sites, for flights from New York City airports to your final destination:

   • www.ziju.com (check flexible date option and check Singapore as your home airport)
   • www.itasoftware.com (international, flexible search date)
   • www.momondo.com (click on “flexible about dates” tab)

   Bonus: New York City (JFK) to Liverpool, UK. As low as $128.00 one way (total, incld. taxes)

2. Book your flight from your home airport to your International flight’s point-of-departure.

   To find your best fare from your home airport to New York City airports, search all of the following sites:

   • www.travelocity.com (check flexible date option)
   • www.cheapair.com (check flexible date option)
   • www.southwest.com
   • www.jetblue.com
   • www.ata.com
   • www.airtran.com
     
3. Hotels:

   Whether you need a hotel stay over in New York City or Newark, NJ as well as hotel reservations in the UK, a detailed price / value search is required. Go to our free search directory at www.TravelBestTips.com and do multiple searches till you find the hotel values that you are looking for.

   I always recommend that you read hotel reviews at www.tripadvisor.com before you make a final decision.

4. Car Rentals:

Planning and savings, not to be over looked:

1. Do you have air miles in a frequent flier account that might qualify you for free airfare? Check both for the flight to New York City and the flight to London.
