Which Travel Site is the Best?

by Jeffrey Peterson

There are so many discount travel sites but there are some places that deserve your money more than others. Check out what others have to say in these sites and see if you agree or not.

Priceline and its name your own price program is actually a great way to book a trip as long as you are patient. My advice is to start early and inch up your price until they agree to it.

Some sites are known as blind sites because the names of airlines, hotels and departure schedules are hidden until purchase is complete. Flight tickets are usually nonrefundable and there are no frequent-flyer miles available.

Although there are no refunds on auction packages from LuxuryLink.com, industry leaders have high regard for this site that caters to high-end travelers interested in bundles.

Two sites you should look into is LastMinute.com and LateRooms.com. The former works with many companies within the U.S. and the latter is better for overseas travel.

Foreign travelers are finding that they can greatly reduce costs if they deal with agencies or specific airlines or hotels in the foreign country they intend visiting.

Check on refund policies. Ask questions. Don’t leave anything to chance, especially in a foreign country. Don’t go with the first discount agency you contact. Search around.

It has even gotten to the point where customer reviews are tipping the scale in regard to travel sites, airlines, hotels, etc. Reviews are driving customers to these places. Just be careful. Some sites are paying or rewarding people for good reviews.

Always travel with a good supply of your medication and have a copy of your health insurance policy with you. Discounts are great, but your health and safety are far more important.
