I must agree with Elizabeth; there is nothing in this book that a casual search on the internet couldn't find. As for the other two who gave the book a five star rating, they (for some strange $reason$) give five stars to everything they review.

Nothing you wouldn't find out on your own by looking around the web.

The information in the book is helpful if you have not traveled much. Otherwise, most of the information is "old news" to the serious traveler.

I read the book in less than an hour, and did not feel that I learned any
new "secrets" as the title suggests. The title is all hype.

A library read as there is not really any valuable info that you need to refer to in this book. Had to pay for shipping with very slow delivery from this supplier.

There are two types of people who pay full fare when traveling by air: those with too much money and those who have not read this book.

Air Fare Secrets Exposed describes how to fly as a freelance air courier, buying tickets from consolidators, flying on charters, getting air passes, cashing in on frequent flyer programs, getting compensated for being bumped, finding travel information on the Internet, and a bunch of hidden airfare tips. The Appendix covers passports, visas, immunizations, fees, embassies/consulates, foreign entry requirements, non-fare travel tips, airline telephone numbers, and airport codes. This is an air travel encyclopedia.

As an author, publisher and speaker, I travel a lot. I can testify that this book will save you thousands of dollars. Saving money on travel makes it much more fun. DanPoynter@ParaPublishing.com.

Now in an updated and expanded third edition, Airfare Secrets Exposed is a premiere, one-of-a-kind travel book that explains in practical detail how to find and book incredibly low airfares and buck the high-priced rate for air travel so commonplace today. Joel Leach and Carey Christensen have uncovered dozens and dozens of ways to save up to 50% or more on an airplane ticket -- regardless of destination. Of special interest is the chapter devoted to exposing how airlines set prices so the reader will learn to save by buying on a particular day of the week (a day which varies from airline to airline). another chapter explains about consolidators and bucket shops that sell tickets for 50-70 percent less than the airlines themselves charge. There is even a state-by-state list of consolidators along with instructions on how to shop them competitively for the lowest rates. Airfare Secrets Exposed explains such little-known strategies as using Group Inclusive Tours, Hidden Cities, Promotional Fares, and Tour Discardments. There's even the latest information about Senior Airline Coupons and tricks for maximizing Frequent Flyer points. In just one trip, readers will make back far, far more than the cost of this invaluable, money saving, get-you-there-and-back-for-less-money air travel guide.
