  • All About Airfares, Airlines & Airports
    Chapter One “Into the Wild Blue Yonder . .” ALL ABOUT AIRFARES, AIRLINES & AIRPORTS COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL 004_418499-ch01.indd4_418499-ch01.indd 1 22/25/09/25/09 110:24:170:24:17 PPMM 2 “Into the Wild Blue Yonder . .” For years, we have all exulted over the low cost of airfares. While every other expense of travel went up, up, and up, airfares remained stable or even declined. No longer. Not simply the high cost of fuel but the poor fi nancial condi- tion of the airlines has caused carriers to cut fl ights, eliminate destinations, end the discounts (or made them harder to get), and hike the average cost of transportation to really serious levels, making it a big and growing part of our total vacation expenses. So it has become utterly necessary to learn how to fi nd the occasional bargains. And that’s what I’ve attempted to do in this chapter. In alphabeti- cal order, from “A” to “F,” I’ve grouped all the sources of those lower fares and all the methods for fi nding and obtaining them. And then, under “P,” I’ve discussed the question of passenger rights, which relates to the quality of the fl ight experience. Aggregators NEXT TIME YOU’RE DETERMINED TO FIND THE LOWEST POSSIBLE AIRFARE, USE AN AGGREGATOR Aggregators are like Google—they search everything in sight. But unlike Google, which “orders” (that is, tampers with) its results, aggregators list the fares they fi nd in an untouched and strictly logical order. Th ey also claim to be totally comprehensive.
