Reservation Tips For Hassle Free Travel
TRAVEL RESERVATION TIPS FOR A HASSLE-FREE TRIP
Start with the basics. Anyone who wants to enjoy a hassle-free
trip has to start with the basic concern of any traveler - how
to handle travel reservations. Here are a number of tips that
may help:
§ Decide on a travel plan - specific destination, how many days,
what activities, etc. The attention given to this first step
will ensure smooth sailing in making the travel arrangements.
§ If the destination is a foreign country, make sure all
information that would be needed in making reservations are on
hand.
Airline Reservations
§ If booking on online, use a reservation site where ticket
prices for all airlines are shown so a comparison can be readily
seen. If booking for more than one person, check also the ticket
price for both a single passenger and multiple passengers. Some
airlines quote different prices.
§ If notification of your reservation is done by e-mail, make
sure that the ticket price quoted is the same. Sometimes,
some
airlines claim the airfare booked earlier is no long available.
Hotel Reservations
§ Ask if the rate is a flat rate or per person. Ask how many
beds are in the room and what the size is. Make sure to finalize
a rate before getting off the phone.
§ Ask about tax rates that would be added.
§ Will breakfast be included with the price of the room? What
time is it served and what is included.
§ Are there guarantee and cancellation policies? Most hotels
require guarantee for reservation with a credit card. Will they
ask a check deposit?
§ If this is a standard reservation, make sure there is a
confirmation number.
