#Airline - Airfare News

September 2012. You know, I started this site 12 years ago. I was new at making informational websites and I didn't factor in how much things would change, requiring me to always make updates to this site. Ugh.

Over the years as new search engines have appeared and built the better mousetrap, I've moved them to the #1 position in my recommendations. But sometimes they don't last (Qixo comes to mind), or they sit still feature-wise (like Orbitz) and other sites leapfrog them.

So now there's a new kid of the block, Hipmunk . What's so special about it? Its list of flights is so compact and efficient it's just a joy to behold. You can view (and easily comprehend) lots of flight info without scrolling. It's the better mousetrap, for sure. And for that reason, it's all the rage.

But it's not all smiles and cupcakes. Once you want to search for flexible dates, the output is no longer quite as pretty. And your options for search ... Read more »

#AOLs Pinpoint Travel makes official debut on the Web: Travel Weekly

DULLES, Va. -- America Online launched its travel-search engine, Pinpoint Travel, for air and hotel inventory.

The Web site, at www.pinpointtravel.com. is powered by Kayak, in which AOL is a minority investor, and has a different look and feel than Kayak.com .

The launch of the Web site punctuates AOLs transition away from reliance on its walled garden membership service toward an emphasis on Internet retailing for members and nonmembers alike.

An AOL spokesman said that Pinpoint, which doesnt handle bookings but refers users to supplier and online agency sites, will soon add one-way flights and car rental searches.

Pinpoints business model is based on advertising revenue, to be generated on a cost-per-click basis when consumers click on listings that send them to booking Web sites.

Among the sites features:

A Rapport box enables users to narrow searches befor ... Read more »

#BOSCOV S DEPARTMENT STORE, LLC

About BOSCOV'S DEPARTMENT STORE, LLC

The outlet mall capital of Reading, Pennsylvania, has conceived more than bargain shopping. It's given us Boscov's Department Store, which operates 40-plus stores that anchor malls mainly in Pennsylvania and five other mid-Atlantic states. The stores sell men's, women's, and children's apparel, shoes, and accessories, as well as jewelry, cosmetics, housewares, appliances, and sporting goods. Some house optical centers and travel agencies, and also provide catering and appliance repair services. Boscov's also operates an online store. Founded by Solomon Boscov in 1911, Boscov's Department Store is owned by an investor group led by chairman and CEO Albert Boscov, which purchased the business out of bankruptcy in 2009.

Boscov's was spared liquidation when a bankruptcy judge approved the $300 million sale of the business to the families of Albert Boscov and Edwin Lakin, the son and the son-in-law of t ... Read more »

#Chinese smog insurance: travel agency offers air pollution policies

China's largest online travel agency is now offering tourists smog insurance , permitting travellers to claim financial compensation should their city break be blighted by bad air. Ctrip.com has created the haze-travel insurance package in collaboration with the Chinese insurance firm Ping An and has been selling the new product since Tuesday.

The insurance is focused on six cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an, all of which are popular with tourists – and also suffer from poor air quality. Pollution in China was recently described by scientists as like a nuclear winter and smog frequently grounds flights and keeps tourists at home. On one day during a recent bout of bad weather, Beijing's Forbidden City saw visitor numbers drop to 11,200. a quarter of its usual daily draw.

Under the new insurance package, tourists who spend at least two days in the designated city while pollution levels are ... Read more »

#Best Day to Shop for Airfare? Tuesday.

I hear a lot of myths about supposedly fiendish airlines hiding or holding ultra-cheap airline tickets until a secret midnight hour when only those-in-the-know can take advantage. Baloney!

LISTEN: Rick Seaney deals in facts, not myths.

Best Day to Shop:

If you re shopping in the U.S. for domestic fares, you want to be shopping on Tuesday.

Best Time to Shop:

The optimum time is Tuesday at about 3 p.m. eastern time. If you re on the West Coast, that would be Noon PT.

What Makes This the Best Day and Time?

Airlines typically launch sales late Monday or very early the next day, and we start seeing them Tuesday morning. Other airlines ones that compete on the same routes as the sale-launching carriers then swing into action to match their competitors fares. It s not because they re nice guys, it s because they want your business too and don t w ... Read more »

#Cheap Flights to Mexico

Best Time to Fly to Mexico

Southern-coast resorts are packed with tourists between July and September, especially since July and August are the peak holiday months for foreign visitors and native Mexicans. Semana Santa (the week before Easter) and Christmas week are also very busy.

Right after the rainy season is a good time to take a flight to Mexico - smaller crowd and discounted hotel rates are commonly found. The hills and mountains are green from the rain however, it can still be very humid in Puerto Vallarta.

Why you should take a flight to Mexico

Thanks to the more than 20 million tourists booking airline tickets to Mexico every year, Mexico enjoys a stable economy and financial peace of mind. Mexico is the fifth-largest country in the Americas and the 14th largest country in the world. In fact, the World Tourism Organization listed Mexico as one of the largest tourism industries in the ... Read more »

#Do Discount Travel Booking Sites Really Save You Money?

By Gwendolyn Shearman | February 23, 2015

Thanks to our social media feeds, Netflix queues, Amazon accounts and Google search results, we've come to expect our online search results to cater specifically to our interests and needs including when it comes to travel.

Whenever we enter an online travel search, it's our assumption that these deals are made just for us and that they're the best available, but that may not always be the case. According to "Measuring Price Discrimination and Steering on E-commerce Web Sites ," a study published by Northeastern University in November 2014, numerous travel booking search engines are guilty of price discrimination or price steering. The study looks at hotel and rental car searches across six popular travel booking sites (CheapTickets, Orbitz, Expedia, Hotels.com, Priceline and Travelocity), and is the first of its kind to compare results between real user accounts and ...

#Cancun Mexico Travel Deals, Hotel Vacation Packages

Thirty years ago Cancun was a sandbar known only to local fishermen. Today it is an amazing resort boasting numerous luxury hotels, nearly all of them fronting the magnificent 20 kms beach. If you are looking for old Mexico, you will have to take a day trip to one of the Mayan ruin sites, since Cancun is very modern and has no colonial heritage. Read more

Standards of service are very high here, and you will not find the sleepy "maсana" attitude which sometimes prevails in more laid back resorts.

Getting around in Cancun is a breeze ­ there is a bus service which travels the length of the hotel strip every few minutes, 24-hours a day, and the cost is about $1.00.

On the open-sea side of the hotel zone the sea is sometimes quite rough ­ watch out for the warning flags and exercise caution. However most hotels have impressive pool facilities, and you may prefer the luxury of a swim-up bar. For th ... Read more »
