From the Publisher
The intended audience is cost-conscious fliers, including small businessmen, families, seniors, students, teachers, and other travelers, who want to be sure they are getting the lowest possible airfare.

From the Author
My fascination with getting lower airfares peaked in the early 1990s when I was able and fortunate enough to fly (from California) to South Korea, Hong Kong, Hawaii, Australia, Florida, and Europe. The total cost for the flights would have typically been more than $2,500, but I paid nothing. In fact, I paid less than nothing, since I received money from the airline.

Most likely, I would not get the same results today. I was in the right place at the right time, asked the right questions, and reaped the rewards. What I learned from these-and numerous other-flights contributed to the topics and strategies in this book.

Because of the Internet-and the media touting its benefits-many consumers believe that they can easily find the lowest airfare on their own. Buying air travel has become a book-it-yourself phenomenon. However, airlines have a very complex pricing structure and most consumers are justifiably confused, especially because travel agents no longer offer free advice. This book presents topics and strategies to assure that you will get the lowest possible airfare for every flight.
