So, if not you, at least one of your family should join - the whole family would benefit.<BR/><BR/>I have also signed up the the airlines emails - specifically BA, Virgin, and Northwest/KLM. They usually don't clutter up your "in box" and you can always choose the option that they not share your email address with their "partners". <BR/><BR/>Also, when searching for airfares for a specific trip, aside from Bestfares, I check out kayak.com. Kayak checks all major airlines and also all the other site (like Expedia or Travelocity, etc.). When I was planning last summer's trip, another helpful website was www.low-cost-airline-guild.com - I was able to find cheap flights between Paris and Prague. They're a great guide to the low costs airlines in the UK and Europe.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-48939874049519339192009-01-30T16:49:00.000+00:002009-01-30T16:49:00.000+00:00I have my fingers crossed for you.

Date, from Amazon, 20th August 2009 ISBN 0486472183 <BR/>should find it. It is not clear if it has any new additions but I would imagine as it is a Dover reprint it is a copy of the original.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01284457201328888459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-31797029345313072572009-01-30T11:26:00.000+00:002009-01-30T11:26:00.000+00:00(Sister, that is) I use Travelocity and/or Expedia...(Sister, that is) I use Travelocity and/or Expedia to look for fares; you should be able to set up alerts to be notified when fares drop below a certain level. I'd also talk to your travel agency--there are some tickets that don't appear on the general sites, especially when travel agents book blocks of tickets and then have to sell them again so you may get the best price that way. Also they can tell you when prices are likely to be at their best.<BR/>Flexibility about which airport should help as well.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06969718871594953655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-45005619524628966972009-01-30T09:13:00.000+00:002009-01-30T09:13:00.000+00:00what are you going to collect next if this has a s...what are you going to collect next if this has a successful outcome?
