Here are three great travel tips from our travel experience.

1. Book travel with a credit card that offers protection. For example, often American Express extends warranties and offers other travel protection.

2. Shop around. Even though it would seem Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia and others would have the same offering and rates, it isn’t true. They often have different arrangements for rates, terms, and pricing.

3. You don’t need to book far in advance to save money. Sometimes a great deal can be gotten close or far.

Both Orbitz and Cheap Tickets offer highly discounted special pages on their Websites with special vacation packages which are deeply discounted. One person or the whole family can travel at a great price. Here are 5 benefits in booking a trip from one of these pages below:

These top 5 travel tips should help you save money, time, and have a fun and safe trip.

1. When looking for the best airfares, hotel rates, and car rental rates there are often great deals available if you look carefully. You may do best with a travel agent or online.
2. Many airlines offer a dozen or more menu items, including Asian, vegetarian, low calorie, and other options. Meal selection can be arranged in advance.
3. Tours can save money, allow for special needs such as individuals traveling alone or senior citizens, and fit various preferences.
4. When selecting a tour, ensure the tour company is part of the National Tour Association or United States Tour Operators Association.
5. Tours can be excellent to visit places you may not normally visit. Tours can help ensure a visit goes safely.

In this economy, a great way to save money and also travel is go where your dollar is worth more. Many countries are very expensive to go, such as Japan. Other countries can stretch a dollar far.
