Understanding the Importance of Travel Warnings

Frequent fliers and holiday travelers often overlook a critical safety and security aspect. You might conjure up romantic images of a leisurely holiday in faraway Côte d'Ivoire or Haiti, or perhaps a multi-million dollar sale in Syria, however, you may be shocked to know that your government currently considers both these destinations to be a highly dangerous place and advices you to avoid it at all costs. Few are aware that the US Government regularly issues travel warnings for its citizens. After all, when the lure of a well-earned holiday or the greed for the big bucks draw you to a foreign place, why would anyone in their right mind consider something as boring as US government travel warnings?

How To Get Best Air Fare Deals


By Brook Mitchell
General Rules to Follow

Flexibility with your dates of travel is the key to finding cheap flights. If you are locked into specific departure/arrival dates then you can still get great deal, it just takes a little more work.

* Check out sites like yapta.com and airfarewatchdog.com for alerts on cheap fares. Signing up to these sites will give you a leg up when cheap fares are released to your destination. 

* Be realistic with the price you are willing to pay. Holding out too long for the type of specials that send airlines broke wont usually work, and you might end up paying more the longer you leave it. If you have a price in mind and can find a seat for that price or less consider just booking it. Barely two people on the same flight will have paid the same amount; the price will always be going up and down (usually up) so at least if you have a price in mind and find it you wont be disappointed.
