Expert: Stephen Tanenbaum - 1/5/2005


Question
I understood that you are a very experient traveller using low cost alternatives. Which brokers do you recommend me to contact for a air travel from Europe to New York (return ticket) to travel by the end of January (now) and return one month later. I am a portuguese male, aged 26. Thanks for any help.
Have a great 2005!

Answer
Greetings J.Dom:

Can not really help since our 'expertise' is primarily free award travel mostly on American airlines and air broker travel. Major problem as I see it is the short 'purchase to fly' time which is a matter of days or a few weeks at most.

I can only suggest a MASSIVE web search for a consolidator that deals in 'last minute' tickets and other sites under the search keywords 'last minute travel' or 'last minute plane tickets' plus may Ebay TRANSFERRABLE tickets that some one is selling. Good luck. Steve T.

Expertise

FREE GLOBAL & DOMESTIC TRAVEL which always beats discount travel. In recent years we have enjoyed free travel to such destinations as Africa, Israel, Australia, Brazil, France, New Zealand, Hawaii, England, Greece, Alaska and our lower 48. Other budget travel areas include such as air brokers, rebate travel agencies, renting a Paris/Barcelona apartments for as little as $65/night (depending on length of stay and size of apt.), sightseeing and general TIPS on travel related comfort, safey/convenience and day to day SAVINGS. Since we travel Free 95% of the time I DO NOT OFFER ADVICE ON CHEAPEST, LOWEST PRICED AND/OR LAST MINUTE AIRLINE FARES. Such deals are best found by diligent Google research & reading the N.Y. and/or L.A. Sunday best in the U.S. Travel sections. FREE airline deals may NOT be available to non-U.S. residents.
