I am clueless. On our last trip he said that traveling on Wednesdays ended up being the cheapest for flights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-would-never-want-to-be-a-travel-agent#post-1497546 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 22:33:45 +0000 wheres_c 1497546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love <a href="http://www.rentalcarmomma.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.rentalcarmomma.com</a> for rental car savings, <a href="http://http://matrix.itasoftware.com" rel="nofollow">http://http://matrix.itasoftware.com</a> for flights, Holiday Inn Friends and Family for hotels <a href="http://www.ihg.com/hotels/us/en/global/corporate/friendsfamily?key=Od7R83jjEc7Xyjpgp%252F2O4AwPw5EYRDFh7lNeyUZf2r4%253D" rel="nofollow">http://www.ihg.com/hotels/us/en/global/corporate/friendsfamily?key=Od7R83jjEc7Xyjpgp%252F2O4AwPw5EYRDFh7lNeyUZf2r4%253D</a> , and <a href="http://www.cruisecompete" rel="nofollow">http://www.cruisecompete</a> for cruises. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-would-never-want-to-be-a-travel-agent#post-1497514 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 22:01:17 +0000 Pepper 1497514@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: Sometimes the car rental deals on Hotwire vary depending on the times you put in, too! We got an even better deal returning the car by noon, versus 2 PM. Something to play around with while you keep an eye out for the next trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-would-never-want-to-be-a-travel-agent#post-1497509 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:55:27 +0000 lovehoneybee 1497509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pepper: Oh see, now I didn't even remember Hotwire OR Kayak (which is why I shouldn't be doing this :silly: ). I just booked a great deal for a car for one of the trips. Going to keep an eye on it for the other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-would-never-want-to-be-a-travel-agent#post-1497505 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:53:41 +0000 808love 1497505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like Trip Advisor for reviews and general prices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-would-never-want-to-be-a-travel-agent#post-1497485 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 21:36:19 +0000 Pepper 1497485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lovehoneybee: We got an amazing deal on a rental car through Hotwire!

Too many options! My mom said she would have enjoyed it (but it's an obsolete job now--she works for a hotel chain though!) and I should have just let her figure out our travel! </p> <p>So far I have booked both flights (non-stop, after E's bedtime, with him as a lap baby, oy...), 1/3 needed hotels, and haven't even looked at rental cars yet, sigh...</p> <p>I really don't even want to think about how much both of these weddings will be costing us. </p> <p>Are you an online travel booking extraordinaire? Tell me your secrets! I think I'd be okay, but I'm also obsessed with finding the best deal... </p>
