Airlines
Tips to buying cheap airline tickets
- Buy your tickets at least three weeks in advance.
- Visit the big search engines like Travelocity, Orbitz, Expedia, and Cheaptickets. These sites will give you a good idea on the average going rate for a retail ticket and it allows you to compare rates and plan on traveling on the least expensive day.
- Remember that ticket prices can vary drastically by airport.
- Go directly to airline websites. If you’ve found a great deal on Virgin Atlantic via the above search engines, then you’ll more often than not find a better deal directly from the airline. Even if price is the same, buying directly from the airline will save you the search engine’s booking fee. Some airlines even guarantee the lowest rates from their own websites, backed up with special offers for those who find cheaper fares elsewhere.

Tips for Marrying Abroad
Booking direct with the wedding planner who actually organizes your wedding will save you time and money. They can get you the best deal on all aspects of the wedding, and best of all you pay no commission to a tour operator or other third party.
If you have more than 15 guests staying at a hotel you may qualify as a group and receive a free room or other discount.
Make sure you have all the visas and paperwork you need well before the wedding day. Sometimes it can take several months to obtain the correct documentation from the relevant authorities.
Make sure you buy a wedding dress which is appropriate for the weather in which you are getting married. A heavy, full skirted dress may be too warm if you get married in California.
Send out “save the date” cards to your guests well ahead of the wedding date. The more notice they have the more likely they are to be able to join you.
Check the weather for the time of year in which you want to get married. You may not dream of exchanging your vows in a monsoon downpour.
