Revealed: Tips of the Travel Trade

I came across this article today in a Sydney newspaper, it may prove helpful to some travellers.

Cheers

.......When it comes to flying, one of the best sources of information is the Official Aviation Guide, first published in 1929. The OAG%26#39;s web tools (www.oag.com/travel-guides/air-route-info/) are a great resource for travellers, allowing you to search for a range of information..........

.......For serious bargain hunters, another useful website is Yapta (yapta.com), which tracks price changes in air fares and other travel products, such as hotel rooms, you select to keep an eye on.

You can be notified when the price drops, or when it falls within your budget range, so you can try to buy at a good time.

....The company claims to have saved its members (free sign up) more than $US150 million ($170 million) during the past two years.......

.......TRYING to find out what luggage you are allowed to take on a flight can be a frustrating process, with every airline having different rules and policies varying from route to route..Enter

Luggage Limits (luggagelimits.com), is a site that provides detailed information for 64 major airlines and more than 3000 airports. Developed by a high school maths teacher, the site cross-references an airline with the departure and arrival airports to tell you exactly what your luggage entitlements are.

The site covers both checked-in luggage and hand luggage and provides details such as allowed dimensions, the number of bags allowed, any restrictions relevant to that route and what the fees for excess baggage are. It even allows for different entitlements under frequent flyer programs.......
