Save money: chase the travel deals
Spend Wisely
Don't blink. Depending on where you live, you might be seduced into thinking that you're at the bleeding edge of technology. That's probably true in some cases (and some places) but, if you're not keeping up to date on what is happening around the globe, then you're probably in for a bit of…
Ever since the "end" of the Covid 19 pandemic, it feels like prices have gone up and up and up, almost with no justification nor abatement, and they keep going up. From the start of the pandemic consumers and retailers have faced shortages in a wide range of goods, from toilet paper to electronics…
Can you ever be too organised when you're about to go on a trip? Is that even possible? You can never be too organised, because travel is a living, breathing organic thing. It changes like the wind. Like a bad video game, hurdles suddenly appear that you must leap over, most…
We're based in Vancouver, Canada, right on the Pacific Ocean. We kind of take it for granted. Being on the water, as it is, maritime activates are big here. Surfing, swimming, boating and more. But, did you know that Vancouver bases much of its revenue on cruises? There is an…
Going on holiday is, for the most part, meant to be relaxing, giving yourself the time to stop, slow down and literally bask in the moment. This is not to say that it won't be filled with thrills (or even a snafu here or there,) because that always seems to happen, no matter…
It may be a necessity, but it is also a joy: eating. And, in this day and age as the world get closer together through social media, one of the big stars is food. No matter which social media channel you favour, you will be deluged with images of lip-smacking eats…
It’s logical to assume that last-minute fares should go down in price. After all, an empty seat generates nothing for an airline, so why wouldn’t they want to keep cutting the price as takeoff nears? Even $50 > $0, right? If you're a regular traveler, you'll be smart enough to know that the…
Modern tourists will inevitably take planes to where they're headed. That just makes sense in so many ways. Air travel offers far more routes to destinations that you want, compared to other modes. If you're lucky, you find a super cheap ticket, plop down into a window seat and off you go!…
One of the big complaints about traveling is about how damned expensive it can be. Especially after Covid pummeled the travel industry into the ground, only now is it rising from the ashes, but with rising prices as well. According to NerdWallet's Travel Price Index, the overall cost of travel is up 9%. …
This is not a story about getting deals or tips for all of your photography needs. No, this is nothing of the sort. In fact, we're even a wee bit reluctant to even put forward this content, as it borders on trash journalism. But, given that the source is Gary Leff, a…
We assume that, since you're on our site, you like to travel. And, if that's the case, we also assume that you have experienced some of the complexities of travel, especially when it comes to booking tickets with airlines. The rules can often be - to most humans - overly complex and difficult to understand. …
If you've been around a while, like we have, you'll surely have noticed that the world is not necessarily heading in the right direction . . again. It seems like - just a few years ago - anger and despair, wars and dictatorships were on the way out and "humanity" was on the…
That title probably sounds a bit horrific, but worry not. Once you learn more about this travel phrase and what it actually means, it may just become your new best friend, specifically if you are looking to buy airline tickets and want to get the best deal.
An open jaw ticket is a type…
We have written a few posts about how travel can be a nightmare at times, especially when the travel companies don't seem to solve the issues (sometimes no matter how hard they try.) It could be a cascade of problems that they have no control over, or it could external influences - Covid anyone?…
There are few experiences worse than having your flight cancelled. Like dominos, one thing after another happens and most of them are not pleasant. And, since the pandemic, many airlines have not been able to get back in their stride. Long queues, more canceled flights, ambivalent customer service - at best. …
Without a shove, where would you be now?
Another railroad story for you and, sadly, it's another one that doesn't paint the USA's Amtrak in the best of lights. And, to be sure, we like Amtrak and take it whenever we can, so we are not slagging the service at all. We're merely presenting…
Hey, 23-hour party people! You know who you are and where you like to go - one of which is Ibiza, Spain's party jewel of the sea. Did you know that Tourism accounts for 84% of Ibiza's GDP? The population of Ibiza swells from 152,000 to over 450,000 during peaks months of the summer…
Every day, we scour the Interwebs to find content that we think you'll like. We try to steer away from the typical standard normal usual stuff that you usually see in your inbox. We love to travel, we've done it a lot and we want to find new and interesting options for ourselves…
Does trying to book a flight on an airline sometimes feel like witchcraft? That is, you poke around on dozens of travel sites, pull out your calculator, plug the figures into your spreadsheet, compare with other sites and then end up with different costs as you go from site to site? (Don't blame…
