How to Book Cheap Flights for the Holidays!

Author: Amelie Mag

Everybody knows that there’s one thing that could make your holidays perfect and that is getting cheap flights. We all love spending the holidays somewhere far away from all our problems, jobs and stress factors. It’s actually great to travel to wonderful corners of the world. And probably one of the most difficult aspects is to plan the entire journey to the smallest detail, finding the best offers and of course cheap flights to the desired destination.





In order to maximize your trip and lower your costs, you should be able to reserve cheap flights online. When it comes to finding such great offers for cheap flights one should know that the market is rich in choices but only if the hunt starts early. Take your time and visit the websites of various traveling agencies so that you can find the best flight for your holidays.





As the needs of the clients diversify and they start looking for more and more sophisticated holiday destinations, traveling agencies have to keep up with the competition in the industry. In consequence, they provide great opportunities for clients interested in popular destinations, offering at the same time cheap flights and traveling insurance. This might not be the case of the entire branch but there is certainly one special offer out there for you.





In order to easily find and book cheap flights, wherever it is you may wish to travel, you should try and abide by some simple rules. First of all, compare prices. It is very important to look at every available offer out there when you are hoping to book cheap flights. Don’t make a mistake by just going with your regular travel agent or you may lose a lot of money for nothing. Travel packages are easily compared through websites that help you compare rates and point out the bargains for you.





For maximum economy, book online. You will save a lot of time and you are not forced to search through the city for different travel agencies. This saves you valuable time and gets you discounts which you can only get online. Buying online is cheaper because it costs the travel agent less money. Cheap flights are just one part of the package. Some websites that help you compare rates for holidays packs also give you links to cheap accommodation and enjoyable city breaks. Holidays are expensive enough so you don’t have to add unnecessary costs by not getting cheap flights online.





If you worry that cheap flights might also mean bad services and lack of reliability than you should ask for references from you family or friends who have tried the same company. We all look for cheap flights online and asking your friends for help might end up saving you money. They might know of some offer you don’t and you will regret it later if you don’t consult them on cheap flights. Also by asking them about cheap flights on holidays you get an honest rating of the services and comfort provided.





Don’t start looking for a cheap flight just a few days before holidays because you won’t find them. Book ahead and plan ahead everything because it’s guaranteed you will get the best rates. This sometimes requires you to look for offers of cheap flights months ahead of your scheduled holidays. But booking ahead saves you money and time. You don’t have to worry about your flights at the last minute and you know exactly what you are going to spend.





After you’ve done all the necessary research you should always make sure you read the all the information presented to you carefully. Get a list of cheap flights and read all their fine prints; then make an informed decision and add all necessary taxes. If you have found the offer through a travel agent then you two should have a discussion about the conditions of the cheap flights and the flying options in general. The most important thing is to get what you paid for and not be tricked just for choosing cheap flights. After all, it’s your holidays and you want to make sure that everything goes perfect.





Finding cheap flights on the Internet requires extensive research and advanced comparisons on the websites of specialized companies in the field. Though the work may be hard, you will discover in the end that it is completely worth it, saving you a lot of money and allowing you to enjoy your holiday the right way.

Recession Travel: Why travel now

Travelling in times of recession is a way to save for those long travels you have always dreamed of having once in a lifetime.

Last weekend we took advantage of getting away for the weekend, other than the travel discounts offered around, you find that it is pleasant to take walks at the beach because they are not crowded after all.

Take for example why would I advise you to travel to Thailand now? I live hear and many things have happened in the last month maybe you all know of the political situation that left the airport closed for sometime. This called for many travellers who were planning on a vacation on the Thai beaches to cancel their travel plans and go elsewhere, and what has this caused the hotels in Thailand losses due to massive cancellations.

Travel now, take advantage of low prices, discounted prices and stay at the best hotels


This is what I have done I have concentrated my beach holidays in this period that otherwise I would not have travelled and when things will be back to normal and expensive I will be smiling.
Help your pocket by arranging to travel and take adventure that you ever wanted in times like this.
If you need help with some ideas of what to see or travel to Thailand let me know and I will drop you a line

HuaHin travels: Weekend getaways

Last weekend we spent another weekend discovering Huahin in the gulf of Thailand.

During our stay in Huahin Thailand we went to Napalai Resort and Spa.


Napalai resort hotel is a brand new hotel lovely to stay.

We booked our hotel stay through Asia Hotels we have always got wonderful deals that have saved our pockets and allowing us to visit again.

Napalai Hotel in Huahin would be a lovely place to stay for a weekend. Staff very friendly, the rooms are clean and a swimming pool to relax after a walk back from the beach. Would definitely stay in this hotel again.

Birthday Me: Smile and 1 year older

Cooking is one of things I enjoy doing, I try to try a recipe from a country that I visit or live. I haven't cooked anything yet though today is my birthday. Sooo many years back in a small rural village on the slopes of Mt. Kenya I was born. I grew up in my family land where we knew nothing but agriculture and going to school.

Remember those days in the village, waking up in the morning lighting the fire while my Mom went to milk the cows, we had plenty of milk yes we did drank milk every morning before going to school.

I walked a Kilometer and half to school every day, walked back for lunch then back again for afternoon classes and back after four when classes finished and usually most of the time we had to run to school not walk.





In this village I learn't to work the garden, I never knew a supermarket I only knew the small kiosks in the market where we also had an open air market. Vegetable market was every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon. Everything sold in this market, fresh from the garden and fruits from the trees.

My family grew and grows all kinds of vegetables we also grew french beans for export. Those were good times. On the other hand we had coffee we all worked whether it came rain or sunshine. My mother sometimes used to roast coffee and grind whenever we wanted to drink coffee all from our gardens.

Today as I celebrate my birthday I remember those moments with a smile and nolstagia.

How I looked forward to school holidays so that I could visit my uncle who lived in another side of Mt.Kenya. The best thing I remember how we made chapati from whole wheat from family harvest. Oh God I miss.

And when a neighbour went to New Zealand and since then I started to dream that one day I would go abroad. I have not yet been to my dream Australia and New Zealand but Im coming.

Now many years after I find myself in the wonderful city called Bangkok, how did I get here? I ask myself and more to that I do not speak my native languange because I have a new language Italian, how did I get here? The world can really be strange and dreams can be realised.

Now at my age today, what is my dream in the next year?
I would write and write, let me stop now as I want to talk to my Mom and tell her how grateful I am for all she did to help me grow up to be what I am today and I can smile because I grew up in the best village ever!

Fall foliage: Autumn colors are calling

I did not know much about this but yesterday night I talked to my Mom who lives in Vermont and she told me how lovely the place is starting to look with fall foliage and the mixture of orange, yellow and red.
I imagined that this fall foliage beauty is far from anything I have seen in some parts of Italy and Romania and other parts of Europe that have been able to travel to.
This is the best time to travel to Vermont area, but unfortunately for another year I will have to miss the fall foliage.
When I googled fall foliage, I found out many ideas for fall foliage vacations, interactive weather maps for fall foliage, fall foliage forecasts and much more on fall foliage



I could not help it but I needed to see also the interactive map of this years fall foliage

I was watching TV earlier while lying on the sofa as I have been unwell with cold for few days. I'm taking antibiotics and feel already better.

They talked about these amazing shadow puppet shows that help you discover Indonesia, amazing.



From Wayang Kulit "Wayang Kulit in Central Java is probably one of the oldest continuous traditions of storytelling in the world, and certainly among the most highly developed. The wayang is a flat or round puppets used for shows in Java.The wayang kulit is the flat one and it is made with buffalo leather. They are maipulated behind a white screen with a back light, so the attendance can see them as shadow puppets.

Wayang is well integrated in Javanese society, and it is considered to be a highlight of Javanese culture.

Wayang Kulit was already established in the East Javanese kingdoms one thousand years ago."

Venice: Collectable Venice

Let's go to Venice, for our weekend, honeymoon, holiday.

But, this is a different Venice one that you can collect, these are works of art by Raffaella an artist with great works made of corrugated carton, if you are travelling to Italy and you are a lover of art then you have to stop by Cesena a town between Bologna and Rimini, admire her works and most of all bring them home.

About this picture:
http://www.raffaellazavalloni.it/LELLA/quadri_INGL.html



Raffaella Zavalloni was born in 1956 in Savignano sul Rubicone, Italy.

She lives and works nearby in Cesena.

Happily self-taught, she has been drawing and painting since childhood. After studying philosophy with a focus on aesthetics at the University of Bologna, she has designed and made theater costumes, published naturalist guides of plants and animals, and painted tapestries. For about ten years corrugated cardboard has been the focus

of her artistic research.

Weekend Breaks

Weekend breaks away from home. Which is your favourite weekend destination? beach? mountains?

I took this picture in the area on the hills around the Forli area in Emilia Romagna in Italy, there are just wonderful places to get away to.

Weekend breaks with discounted airlines and you find yourself spending little and enjoying areas away from big tourist centers and discovering new places with excellent food and activities.

Storm menaces Florida after killing at least 50

August 18, 2008

TROPICAL STORM FAYEBy Michael Haskins

KEY WEST, Florida (RUSPRNEWS)AUGUST 18, 2008- - Store owners boarded up their windows but few Florida Keys residents fled as Tropical Storm Fay churned toward the United States on Monday after killing more than 50 people in the Caribbean.

It did not appear that the sixth storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season would have time to reach hurricane strength, with top sustained winds near 74 miles per hour (119 km per hour), before passing the low-lying and flood-prone Keys.

Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua)

One of the most important temples in Krabi. While you are here try and visit.
Break away from the beach and take a day visiting beautiful Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua) in Krabi. Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua), Krabi is located 3 km north of Krabi town. Best reached by a taxi or the local tuk-tuks, though they look like quite a bumpy ride.

At the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua), pay homage at the pagoda and a sitting Buddha.

According to AP Judge shutters Web site offering Olympic tickets

7 hours ago

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge has temporarily shut down a Web site that Olympic officials say is defrauding patrons by falsely advertising tickets to the games in Beijing.

It's the second such Web site ordered closed in the last two weeks.

The judge ordered the shutdown Tuesday, pending a resolution of the U.S. Olympic Committee's lawsuit alleging the site is a scam.

USOC lawyers say http://www.beijingticketing.com cheated numerous U.S. residents out of thousands of dollars by falsely promising to deliver tickets to the games starting Friday.

The site was apparently disabled by its operators Monday, but the lawyers want the court order to keep it down permanently.

Summer guess games

I have not visited this country, my inlaws did many times now I would want you to guess in which country was this picture taken.
You could also let the readers know more about this place by leaving a comment. Advice of other places to see in this town are also welcome.

I have been thinking of what to post today and I thought that it would be lovely to share with you a picture and try to guess where it was taken. Do you think it is a nice idea and what can i do to make it more interesting?
