Hot Tip For Travelers


If you are hitting the skies in the near future, here are a few hot tips to help you save money.

United Rolls Back Baggage Fees

Passengers traveling on United Airlines can get a 20 percent discount on the fee to check a first bag if they pay for it online by January 31, 2009. The fee for the first bag will now be $12 when paid online (the airline has scrapped plans to double the domestic second bag fee, keeping it at $25). Passengers who pay the fees for checked baggage before going to the airport can then drop the bags in designated areas for faster check-in.

Horizon Air - Update:

Beginning April 8, Horizon Air will use larger aircraft, but reduce the number of flights, between Seattle and Victoria, BC. The expanded aircraft will boost the overall number of seats on the route by 43 percent. The current schedule of seven daily flights with the 37-seat plane will be replaced with four daily services on a 74-seat aircraft. Also from Seattle, your group can connect to Horizon’s new non-stop routes to Los Angeles and Sonoma County-Santa Rosa, as well as routes throughout the West on its sister carrier Alaska Airlines.
