4Anyone know where I can find a cheap cruise through the Galapagos Islands? Im ok with tour groups, but they need to be super-budget. Maybe a group with twenty-thirty somethings? Thank you in advance.
I would like to visit Thailand and want to arrive with an open return air ticket?

I am aware of the 30 day visitor restriction.
I have heard Thai immigration will not allow you in the country without a definite seat booked out of Thailand within 30 days.
Is this true?
Or will they accept my *open return* ticket and my explanation that I shall be booking my final departure date within 30 days of arriving?
I am not exactly sure when I will be leaving Thailand but I obviously won’t overstay.

There are countless people out there looking for ways to achieve Cheap Airfare, they think it is some kind of special science that only who are in the travel industry can decipher the code which leads to ultimate Cheap Airfares. That is not entirely a true statement. Though people who have spent their entire lives working in travel industry specially with Airlines, they ought to have more understanding of how the fairs are calculated and how one can achieve Cheap Airfare but as the saying goes ; you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to know that tropical region is hot and humid and that the closer you get to the poles, cooler it gets. Similar is the case with achieving Cheap Airfare. It’s purely economics and business sense. Let me put down some facts before we discuss how one can achieve Cheap Airfares.
The airline will always want to make highest possible profits.
The consumer (you) would always want to pay the least possible fare.
There is competition in the airline industry. The airline would also want to sell more seats than their competitors. They try to woo the customers by lowering their price compared to their competitors.
The airline would not want to fly with empty seats; they rather sell seats for fraction of the standard fare to attract customers at the last moment.
People do not prefer to fly at odd times like late nights or early mornings. The airline would generally lower prices of their flight which either depart or arrive at odd times such as early mornings or late nights.
Big and busy airports tend to levy higher taxes on the airlines, hence airlines which do not use busy airports and alternatively use some nearby airports tend to be cheaper. However if it is a national carrier and is flying back to its country, it may not need to pay some airport taxes and may prove to be cheaper.
Now that you know few facts about the travel industry you will easily understand that what are the things to be kept in mind to achieve Cheap Airfare. Let’s go and see them once more briefly.
Last minute travel could prove to yield Cheap Airfare.
Booking Flight tickets in advance (at least a month) can also yield Cheap Airfare.
Round trips cost much less when compared to two one way tickets.
Travelling in the middle of the week is a good idea, there is less demand to travel in the middle of the week (Tuesday & Wednesday), and hence the airlines deliberately keep the prices low to attract travelers.
Try flying from and land at a nearby airport to the principal airport.
Try flying and landing at odd time of the day/night.
If you are a student, a Senior citizen or if you fall under any other special category. You should ask the airline if they can give some kind of discount, many airlines do, they cannot read your mind, you would have to ask them.
Try comparing prices on the travel portals and check up the airlines website directly, they may have special deals.
If you can understand the above, you are bound to reduce your travel bill by 25% if not 50% .

Last Minute Airline Ticket

The price of airline tickets can sometimes be the bulk of your traveling expense. However if you are a flexible traveler, you may find it useful and cost effective to go online and look for a last minute airline ticket. There are a number of websites who offer such a service and most of the major airlines do as well. Purchasing a last minute airline ticket is the airline industry’s way of ensuring that they are flying as near to full flights as possible. They would much rather fill up the plane, even if it means selling the last few tickets for a discounted price. Flying the plane with empty seats is great for the passenger who gets the coveted 2 seats, but a source of lost income for the airline. There are a few things that you must be willing to do if you are interested in a last minute airline ticket. First you have to be diligent in your search efforts. Obviously the airlines don’t want this to become the mainstream way of purchasing tickets, so you will need to poke around to various sites. Also, you have to be willing to travel at crazy times throughout the day and on any given day.
This method of purchasing tickets works much better when you are traveling to visit friends, for example versus traveling for a vacation. When you are booking a vacation and a hotel, you need for your flight to coincide with the reset of your travel arrangements, such as the days and nights you have booked your hotel. But if you are flying home to visit mom and dad, it doesn’t matter if you come in on Monday or Tuesday, or 12 noon or midnight.
Travelers who buy a last minute airline ticket are usually lone travelers as well, or an extremely flexible couple. You are most likely to find 1 ticket per flight available at the discount. If you are lucky enough to find two, you and your travel companion will most likely not be sitting together. This is a small price to pay though in exchange for cutting down on the expense of flying.
Overall, purchasing discounted tickets at the last minute from an airline is a fabulous way to save money on your travel expenses. If your travel plans don’t dictate a specific day and time that you arrive in your destination, I highly recommend this option. A little planning and a lot of flexibility will save you money better spent on the actual vacation!

Finding Cheap Flights Through Travel Agents

When you are trying to plan a vacation it can often be extremely stressful and there is usually always something which you have forgotten. You need to book the hotel, the accommodation, the flights, a hire car if needed and you also need to know what you are going to do and where you are going to go whilst you are there. It really is a demanding task and that is why many people choose to get the help from travel agents.
However, finding the right travel agency to suit your needs can often be a nightmare. So just how do you find the right travel agent to suit you?
Choosing a Good Travel Agent
The main reason why people choose to use travel agents is because it is easier than planning everything yourself. However there are other benefits that come with using a travel agent and one of those includes that they often know what deals are available at the time. They can plan things for you which you didn’t even know existed. They can also get you cheap flights and other cheap deals too. So, if you want to really enjoy your holiday, it may be advisable to go with a travel agent to see what they suggest.
The only way to really find the best travel agents for you is to do your research. You will need to compare a number of different companies and perhaps ask friends and family who they used for their holidays. The internet is also a good tool to use to find all of the travel agents in your area. Ideally the right travel agent will attempt to get to know you, your needs and what you are looking for in the perfect holiday.
Another point to consider is whether the travel agent is a member of the American Society of Travel Agents. This is basically a society which has airlines, cruise lines, hotels and travel agents in it and they can offer you exclusive deals. They also need to be well qualified and so you know that by choosing a travel agent in the society you will be getting the best service possible.
If you are still unsure about a travel agency then feel free to ask them as many questions as you like. They should be able to answer them politely and satisfy your curiosity too. You should be able to get a feel for what they do and how long they have been doing it and that will help you to decide whether or not to use their services.
Overall finding the right travel agent for you is essential if you want to end up travelling in style at discount prices. They make everything easier and they can book entertainment that you never even knew existed.
