Booking Online Vacations
Introduction
From finding flights to booking hotels the internet has made it possible to save a bundle of money on travel costs.
Though saving is possible it is important to know a thing or two before you plan your next vacation
Popular Travel Sites
No doubt you have seen commercials for several last minute travel sites all boosting the lowest prices, before settling on the one with the flashy commercial make sure to shop around www.expedia.ca

Hotels and Rating Systems
There are almost as many rating systems out there as there are hotels so be sure to research and compare
Many rating systems these days are based on user ratings which can be very bias because it is more likely you will give a rating if you were not satisfied with the hotel
Don’t assume a high rating will mean it meets your personal standards.
Flights
When looking to go on vacation it is tempting to go with the cheap flights available; however this might not be exactly what you want
Make sure you read all the details of the flight before you finalize the booking. You don’t want to end up on a flight with three lay overs.
