As kids finish with school and the summer travel season kicks off, last-minute travel planners are getting sticker shock scanning airfares to Europe. June round-trip flights from New York to London are running $1,600, with fares from Atlanta or San Francisco topping $2,000. It’s shaping up to be one of the busiest summer travel seasons in years, and many airlines are pricing accordingly.
But there are deals to be had, if you follow a few basic bargain-hunting tips—some of them logical, some a bit surprising.

Flexibility on Destination—and Departure Point
Airfares usually follow the basic rules of supply and demand. Europe is a super-popular summer destination, and so you usually get super-high fares.
Consider instead… Non-traditional summer vacation destinations like the Caribbean, ski towns, and the southern hemisphere (where it’s winter) can all offer compelling flight deals. And sometimes there’s an increase in the supply of airlines to a city—as is currently the case in Seattle, where Delta is expanding to make it their West Coast hub and engaging in a fare war with existing carriers, making it a rare destination deal this summer.
Surprising deals can also be found by changing your departure city. George Hobica of Airfarewatchdog.com cites Boston-Spain summer fares that are over $800 cheaper those departing from New York City. “For that, you could almost hire a limo to Boston and still save money!” he jokes, semi-seriously. So when planning those trips, think beyond JFK vs. LaGuardia or SFO vs. Oakland, and expand your search regionally. Continue reading
In response to the previous article talking about the US Espionage Video. I’m not sure how much of it is true, but I pretty much find it despicable that any nation would endanger the welfare and futures of students in that manner.
“BEIJING — Call it a 21st-century version of Mad magazine’s Spy vs. Spy.
Three weeks after the FBI rolled out an odd, ripped-from-the-headlines microfilm about an American college student who was recruited to spy for Beijing, China has now released its own, very similar tales of young Chinese students being lured into espionage activities by foreign agents.
The student spying stories come as the U.S. is trying to encourage more Americans to study in China, and as China has become the biggest source of foreign students in U.S. colleges and universities. Continue reading
Gary Chen’s new book, “A Cheap Ticket for Student Travel” is a great, yet short, read for college/low income students interested in traveling (especially traveling abroad). At only 23 pages (in PDF form), you can read through it pretty quickly, but it offers some great insights into how you can travel even on a college student’s budget.
He opens with a pretty strong argument for traveling while you’re young ~ time, energy, and lack of ties. This is something I wish a lot more students would keep in mind; by the time you have jobs, families, and other demands on your time and attention, traveling becomes less and less of a likelihood. Since traveling can significantly add to both your accomplishments and the broadening of your experience, taking that awesome trip now is a pretty good idea.
Most of his advice officially starts in Chapter two, where he begins with the important saving tool – Planning. This carries through the next two chapters during which he discusses how even little things like grouping nearby locations together can save money on costs. Chapter 5 is where he really gets into precise methods of saving as opposed to more general recommendations. He also has a really great form on pages 17-18 that helps you list out your expected expenses and likely total. I think filling this out is a great way of reminding yourself precisely how much this might cost you and what you need to save. Throughout the book, he offers some great means of saving and I like the main message he communicates — traveling doesn’t have to ruin you financially!
Writing style: Some of the writing could use some editing and there were a few choppy areas, but overall I found it to be a quick and easy read. A great addition to the ebook is the number of internal links Chen offers his readers–he frequently links to relevant and interesting articles relating to the subject of discussion. Particularly helpful are the links to discount sites and saving tools; I might even use a few of these!
If you are interested or thinking about traveling, I recommend checking his book out. You can find it on Smashwords as a FREE E-book (I like the free part, it matches his theme 🙂 )
