Be careful with online
bookings. E-mail is a fast, cheap, and easy way to reserve, but if you
fill out a booking form on a hotel's website, be sure you get a
confirmation from a real person, not just an automated response.
AVOID SURPRISE
Always ensure that the rate
you’ve found is available for immediate booking. The better sites will
provide explanations of their booking policies. Also, make sure you are
qualified to obtain that rate, since sometimes the best rates are only
available for certain consumers.
ON LINE ADVANTAGE
Register with your favorite
airline websites to receive e-mail alerts when bargain fares become
available. Some airlines now offer discounted Internet-only fares, as do
many hotels. It's worth hunting for these special deals.
