Ear Plugs

Ear plugs come in handy for sleeping on an airplane, blocking out snorers and also work for sleeping on a cruise ship.

They allow you to sleep through all the talking and noise that happens in the corridors, from the ship's engines and from the other cabins.

Cruise With Your Age Group

These days, airlines, hotel chains, and other travel businesses are struggling to attract customers, so opportunities to travel cheaply abound for those who know how to search for deals. Here are our best tips:

1. Tweak your itinerary and save
   The slightest alterations to your vacation plans can yield big savings, so it pays to price a variety of flights. Departing very early or very late in the day can mean a much lower airfare, as can flying on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Sundays are the costliest for domestic flights; Saturdays for international travel. Using a nearby or suburban airport can also save you a lot. Being flexible applies to hotels as well, particularly at those that host business travelers during the week.

2. Check airlines' Web sites
   Start your airfare shopping with a travel search engine such as Kayak or at a large travel-agency site such as Expedia, Orbitz, or Travelocity. But always check the carriers' own sites as well, because they often offer fares found only there. In fact, some tickets for low-fare airlines such as Southwest and JetBlue are not available at the major travel sites. Buying directly from the airline also eliminates the transaction fees charged by third-party sites, which can range from $5 to $12. Even here is a bonus tip on this, you can even purchase discounted gift card for some of the best sites and save even more. Their promotion and discount rates will still be apply.

   Here are some of the airlines gift cards that can save you a lot -
   JetBlue 6% OFF
   
   Southwest Airlines 3%-6% OFF

3. Fly early to arrive on time
   Flights between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m. are by far the most likely to arrive on time. The most punctual domestic airlines in recent months have been Hawaiian and Southwest; the least punctual, American and United. If arriving on time is critical, fly nonstop and consider less-crowded airports. For more details on the carriers, check out the Department of Transportation's monthly Air Travel Consumer Report.
