Book It Without Losing It

So now that you know how to save your money when planning a trip, how do you save your sanity?

The easiest way to book a trip these days is on the web, and our favorite site for finding great vacation deals is www.BestFares.com. (The founder of BestFares.com, our friend, Tom Parsons, has been on our national radio and television shows on numerous occasions.)

BestFares.com's Ultimate BestFares Finder lets you put in your preferred destination, and with just a few clicks it will show you:

1. Airfares on multiple carriers
2. Airfares during the week before and after your preferred travel dates
3. The cheapest airfare on that route within the last seven months
4. Alternate options for your departure and destination cities (including distances to your preferred airport)

Here's another quick tip: If you are a planning a vacation on short notice, be sure to check out the Last-Minute Deals section on BestFares.com. This feature will combine your airfare with a hotel and/or rental car, giving you the best possible deal for your next journey (booking the whole package is sometimes cheaper than booking the airfare alone).

See, it's pretty simple. With a little flexibility, you can save a bunch of money and relax even before your vacation begins.
