Did you know that the best time to book domestic travel is six weeks before your trip? Or that the best way to save money on a hotel is to make a reservation that can be canceled anytime before the day of your trip which allows you the opportunity for you to check for a better rate the day before you leave?
Travel expert Pauline Frommer is editor of Frommer.com and the iconic travel guides that have carried her family’s name for the past five decades. She’s full of handy travel tips and tricks that her family uses while traveling the country and the world. Pauline’s practical and unique tips are as essential for Thanksgiving trips to Grandma’s to holiday trips to exotic and memorable locations.
I recently had a chance to talk to Pauline Frommer on various topics related to holiday travel including:
· Airline baggage fees are sky high!
She’ll tell you why you shouldn’t own anything larger than a carry-on bag because you travel light… even if you are traveling with kids!
· Thinking about traveling off the beaten path or going on a cruise?
You’ll want to make sure you have travel insurance. Pauline will tell you how to select the right policy.
· The best time to buy your airline ticket:
You always want to know when to buy the cheapest plane ticket. Pauline has specific information for travelers in the U.S. and abroad.
· Here’s something most people don’t know: The company with the most rooms to rent is not a hotel chain.
Pauline shares why you want to check out some clever options that most don’t know about– and can save you a fortune!
· Thinking about a trip to NYC or Orlando?
Frommer’s “wrote the books” on those cities and Pauline will give her top money saving tips for visiting two of the country’s most popular holiday destinations.
Culled from the iconic Frommer’s Travel Guides, Pauline will exclusively give her picks for this year’s hottest holiday destinations.
While it’s too late for you to get the *best deals* on airfare, you can still book a ticket and find great accomodations where you are going!
