The winner from Friday’s Deal of the Day is Kathryn I – OKC with a tip: “This is a twist I learned … as you book award travel, if you have a variety of award programs to utilize remember the taxes and fees involved for award booking can vary between partners. The savings can add up significantly. Also the award availability can vary between the partners for the same date and destination. I discovered flights available using Asia Miles that weren’t available using American Airlines Advantage travel and vice versa. Doing a bit of homework and spending some time on the phone while booking award travel can be well worth it to get the dates you want and also to save money.”. Kathryn great tip for all of us to keep in mind. A little research and some effort can save hundreds of dollars. Please email howie@frugaltravelguy.com so we can get you your luggage tags and FlyerTalk hoodie (pick up your own FlyerTalk swag at the Cafepress FlyerTalk store).
