Book long term parking early. This means secure a parking spot in advance at the airportparkingreservations.com or airportdiscountparking.com when departing from a major hub, where lots tend to fill to capacity during the holidays. Both companies deliver savings on published airport prices and provide free shuttle service from the car to all terminals.

Travel Tips Part 8 of 10

Act fast when a problem occurs. Gone are the days of airlines actively assisting waylaid passengers. If your flight ends up canceled or delayed, get in line to speak with an airline representative, but don’t just stand there. Use your cell phone to call the carrier’s toll free number, odds are the person on the phone can help you secure another flight quicker than a gate agent who’s being inundated by dozens of cranky passengers. And know your rights.
- The airline will rebook you when a flight has been canceled, it just might not be for the same day.
- In the event that the airline sells too many seats and you get bumped, you are entitled to the cost of your one-way fare, up to $400.00. This is according to the Department of transportation, providing the carrier can’t book you on a flight scheduled to touch down within one hour of your original arrival time.
- When you’re delayed due to a snafu caused by the airline, like a mechanical difficulty, check the departures board to see if any other outbound flights will reach your destination faster. While most airlines won’t voluntarily offer assistance, they frequently will try to accommodate passengers on another of their flights (or, occasionally, on a competitor’s) when asked to do so. If bad weather causes the holdup, chances are it’s affecting every other flight as well, so you just have to sit tight. And while we’re not against trying to obtain meal end hotel vouchers, alas they seem to be a thing of the past.
Ways To Plan For Retirement
by icyents on Feb.04, 2010, under Personal
Planning for your future and retirement relies on planning the right kinds of long term investments. There are many different types of long term financing investments, and everyone needs to have some sort of alternative investments for their future. Planning your retirement and long term investments go hand in hand debt free.
Let’s face it. You will not be able to work forever. No matter how healthy you are, there will come a time when you will not be able to work, due to health problems or simply aging. What will you do for an income protection when the time comes to retire? This is why planning your long term investments carefully is as important as your credit score for your credit card application. Maybe you think you will be able to rely on payday loans, small business credit cards, low apr credit cards,Medicare or social security to take care of you during your retirement. Remember social security is in trouble.
What Do You Know About Stocks?
by icyents on Feb.02, 2010, under Personal
Stocks are shares of ownership in a corporation. Usually the big companies in the country are listed in the stock market so that you can buy their shares at low price, then hopefully sell them at a high price in the future so that you can have a profit. You can either buy or sell stocks via a licensed stockbroker, who in turn gets a certain commission from every transaction you make, usually about 15% commission.
More information about trading stocks and list of accredited stockbrokers can be found at the Stock Exchange Website. The challenging part about investing in stocks is making the critical decision of WHAT to buy, WHEN to buy it and WHEN to sell it. You will have to do some research on the company’s performance over the years and whether there are upcoming changes to be expected soon or not. Try attending a seminar on stock investment from any of the accredited stockbrokers. They usually give it free, together with some snacks. There are risks involved especially if you don’t track your investment properly, so make sure you have the patience and determination before going for it.

Pocket up to $40 in luggage fees. Jet Blue and Southwest are the only major domestic airlines that don’t charge travelers $15 to $20 each way for their first checked bag. On other airlines, pay for only one piece of luggage by sharing a bag with your spouse or travel companion. Either way, be sure to keep the bag’s weight below 50 pounds to avoid overweight luggage charges, which can range from $49 to $175. And lastly, to save an additional $5, pay baggage fees ahead of time online, when you print out the boarding pass for your flight.
