Internet Planning
Two years ago, when en route to Hawaii, a fellow passenger expressed shock and dismay when she learned that my airline ticket had cost several hundred dollars less than hers. Identical seats, same airline, same service. We were both staying the same amount of time, staying over a Saturday night….and jumping through all of the same hoops that airlines ask of you these days. Not a pleasant surprise for the poor woman, and certainly not the best way to start an Hawaiian vacation. In the good old days, you used to go to a travel agent, book a trip, and that was that. Airfares were pretty standard among the regular airlines, and if you wanted a cheap flight, charters were the way to go. But all that has changed, it seems. An airfare can literally change from hour to hour. I have called the same airline two or three times during the same day, requested the same flight, and gotten a different price quote every time. The price you see listed on line may have already changed by the time you pick up the phone. Many factors add into the price of an airline ticket, including time of year, advance booking, weekend stay overs, airline specials, price wars and so on. The Internet has opened an entire new avenue of travel planning, with many advertising discount fares and cheap trips.
