3. Taxes and Surcharges
It can be a real pain, but you should make sure that whenever you book any sort of travel arrangements online, read every page that’s put in front of you. Businesses across the hospitality and travel industry simply love to drop extra taxes and surcharges on top of a great deal right before you accept the charges. By that point it’s tempting to keep clicking and imagining your tan lines, but be cautious and read that small print. There are no doubt some surprises hidden in there.
4. Reserve Online
Most travel businesses — especially airlines — would really prefer that you hop online and book your trips there. Not only is the process less prone to error, but it saves them from having to hire people to pick up the phone. Business’ preference for the Internet has begun to be reflected in an extra charge should you book your trip over the phone with a real, live human being.
