| The World Wide Guide To Cheap AirfaresPosted on September 4, 2010.  No descriptionCommentsEulalia Shiels says... This book paid for itself the first time I used it.McColl lists travelagents and consolidators around the world, classified by specialty.Youcan save lots of money buying tickets for overseas travel from overseasagents, and this book will tell you how. Posted on September 4, 2010 Veda Rouge says... I found this book to be a big help.It gave me more than travel tips.Its real value comes from the author's ability to give the reader an idea on how the travel industry works.Sure, there are the tried and true strategies (i.e., getting bumped) but there are other angles recommended by the author that are less obvious and of great value. Posted on September 6, 2010 Johna Bouffard says... If you have read one article on cheap travel you have already read this book.Don't waste your money, you can get the exact same information on the internet. Posted on September 7, 2010 Dionne Ochocki says... If you are into to hopping around the country or the globe then this book will save you hundreds of dollars.Before I bought this book I was ready toplunk down a few thousand for a round-the-world ticket.I only spent alittle more than $1000 to buya RTWticket. The author writes in asometimes humourous, down-to-earth style that is loaded with simple tips tohelp you save.. You'll learn about common airline scams and how to avoidthem. I checked out his competitor's books and this is much better since itgives you various strategies for finding great deals. Posted on September 7, 2010 Ingeborg Flato says... I just got back from an unbelievable trip to Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. My flight from the USA to Singapore was only $400 round trip.The airlines were charging between $800 and $2000. I stayed in Southeast Asia for an extra month on the money I saved. I recommend this book for people who want to travel more, but need a good deal in order to do it. Posted on September 8, 2010 Lorenzo Esenwein says... I ordered this book with high hopes that during my school breaks, I'd be able to travel all around without missing student loan payments...nope. I felt that much of the information provided is not any great breakthrough,such as offering to be bumped to get a free flight, or signing up for afrequent flyer program. I had heard of that before reading this book, and Iam not a seasoned airline traveler. Most of that information,I had readin the front section of all those "Let's Go" travel guides. Thebook, however, is a good resource for locating courier agencies and he doesmentions some low cost domestic airlines. I read the sixth edition, whichis a bit outdated- it mentions Valujet as one of the low-cost airlines andmany of the travel agencies the author recommended in my area are no longerin operation. I'm hoping that the seventh edition will provide moreresources. Posted on September 9, 2010 Myrtle Erichsen says... I wish I had a copy of this book seven years ago when I went to Denmark. It was my first time out of the USA. This book would have not only explained options to me that I didn't know I had, but also would have saved me a ton of money.It is simple to understand and I like the fact that it list not only different airlines and options, but prices as well.I can see why this book has been printed so many times as the information it contains is so beneficial to everyone. Anyone who travels should possess this informative book. Posted on September 11, 2010 Robbyn Loggains says... This very useful and tightly written guide explores every aspect of cheap travel, including flight consolidators, couriers, and charters. It's the first book I've ever seen that explains the complex business of airline ticket pricing and arms you with knowledge that lets you beat the airlines at their own game. If you're adventurous and super thrifty, you can even learn how to fly for free! There's a huge listing of airfare discounters and other dirt-cheap travel resources, arranged by hub city. McColl provides a mini-guide for each locale, along with tips on low-cost meals and lodging, recommended stopovers, and offbeat sights to see. This isn't your standard travel faire, either -- the travel writing is as witty and down-to-earth as any Lonely Planet or Moon-series guide. Do not--repeat--do not think you can find all this stuff on the Internet. I know of no site or group of sites that can provide so many low-cost travel airfare strategies in one quick and easy reference. It's a good read -- and it will definitely save you money. Posted on September 13, 2010 Jenni Bejil says... As a travel author myself, I appreciate good writing on the subject. I find McColl's book a must-have, as I continue to use it on a near monthly basis. This information is indispensable, especially if your are abudget-conscious traveler like myself.Author of: "WorldStompers," "In Search of Adventure," and "SacredPlaces" -- all Amazon.com favorites!
