If you are on a tight budget, here are some ways to help you find cheap flight tickets online, espcially if you are looking to take an all inclusive cruise vacation. Some travel agencies on the Internet offer affordable and cheap flights to passengers.

On Air Travel
2009-01-19 17:14:00 Flew up to Edmonton to check on my Mom (I was worried about her having been relocated within the nursing home) and to check on the renovations done to Doug's place, and to arrange for renovations to begin on the next condo, and so on. On the plane up from Calgary the flight attendant asked if I would be willing to switch places with the guy sitting next to the emergency exit because he didn't want to be responsible for opening the door if it came to that. (He looked sick, so maybe he felt he was too weak to do the job.) "There's more leg room in that row" the Stewardess told me, by way of providing me with an incentive. I shrugged and moved rows because, what the hey. So she does her training spiel, which I've heard maybe 12 times this year, and on the Dashes, the emergency door really is not that complicated. But I'm feeling put out about having to go up to Edmonton in the first place, so when she asks if there are any questions, I reply by asking, "Is there a discount for si...

Air travel madness
2008-03-19 20:46:00 clipped from africa.reuters.com GENEVA, March 19 (Reuters) - Air travelers on domestic and international flights totaled 4.5 billion in 2007, up 6.4 percent on 2006 and marking a "banner year" for the industry, the global airports body ACI said on Wednesday. The world's top airports were the two leading U.S. hubs of Atlanta, which processed nearly 90 million travelers, and Chicago O'Hare, which handled over 76 million, and London's Heathrow which saw 68 million pass through.This madness can't continue much longer.

A call for differential surcharge on air travel
2008-03-07 05:57:00 Considering the lean travel season these days, huge discounts are being offered on domestic air tickets. A Bangalore resident, for instance, saw Mumbai airfare advertised at around Rs 500. "But actually, I ended up paying Rs 2,500 for the ticket. So where was the discount?"Like him, many consumers are dejected when they see that stated discounts do not factor in surcharges tagged along with air tickets.Sudhakara Reddy, chairman at Air Passengers' Association of India, gives a breakup of these add-ons. "Rs 225 is the passenger service fee which goes to the government; Rs 1,650 is the fuel surcharge; and Rs 150 is the congestion surcharge. This itself comes to Rs 2,025." Importantly, the chunky fuel surcharge?Rs 1,650?is uniform across all domestic airlines and sectors.Consumer groups, time and again, have called this an unfair practice. "How can you demand the same surcharge for all flights and all sectors? International carriers such as Singapore Airlines have a different surcharge...

Air Travel & Makeup
2008-02-19 20:35:00 At the end of 2006 air travel became a bit easier for those of us who like to travel (carry-on) with what we refer to as the essentials. Not necessarily what our friends at the TSA or our favorite airlines (if there is such a thing) agree with. I know it's been well over a year since the change but I still get requests to go over what is safe to bring on board with you while traveling by air. So if you are planning on taking a trip this year, here's the scoop on the mini makeup needs. You can still pack your suitcase full of sprays, makeup, gels and other goodies larger than 3 oz. but not that I recommend that either.Check out the TSA's site here for the latest on what you can and can't bring in the cabin. Basically the rules are as follows:The following rules apply to all liquids, gels, and aerosols carried through security checkpoints.All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in three-ounce or smaller containers. Larger containers that are half-full or toothpaste tubes rolled up ...
