I recently had to fly across the country on short
notice for a funeral. I found a round trip ticket to New York for a
little over $700 on Virgin America and considered myself lucky, as
other airlines were showing prices of $1200 or more for a similar
last minute trip. When I returned from my travels, I got to
wondering if I has been too hasty in buying that Virgin America
ticket, and if I could have gotten a better deal if I had
investigated so-called bereavement fares from the major airlines .
My conclusion: probably not.

Money Saving Tips
Booking an escape can be just a click away--for most---when choosing which airline will carry them to their destination (though some admittedly will still opt to phone in a reservation). Whatever route you prefer to secure a seat on the airline of choice, knowing which carrier offers the cheapest fees can amount to being a great money saver. Today, airlines tack on fees unbeknownst to many flyers. What can at first appear to be a cheap ticket, when fees are attached, can prove to be a pricey purchase.

Money Saving Tips
Travel credit cards are great for frequent
travelers because they often come with rewards in the form of
statement credits or frequent flyer miles. They might seem like a
great deal for consumers, but don't let the airlines fool you. Your
travel cards aren't costing the airline any money at all. In fact,
quite the opposite.
Here are a few facts to consider about travel rewards.

Tired of revisiting the same old beach year after year on the
routine and always predictable family vacation? Do your all your
trips seem to bleed together in haze of souvenir shops, theme parks
and too much driving? It's time to get away from the typical
rotation of vacation spots and discover something new.
International travel might seem intimidating at first glance, but
there's a whole world beyond crowded waterparks and gaudy tourist
traps--and it's more accessible than you might think.
