There are a lot of consolidators out there, and the more you know about them and the way they operate, the better your chances of saving a bundle. An excellent book called "Air Travels Bargain Basement" casts a bright light on the subject. -- Travel Europe, February 2000

Product Description

There are many strategies for saving money on air fares, but for simplicity, you can't beat turning to the specialists who buy tickets from the airlines at the equivalent of wholesale and then sell them to the public at a discount. Trouble is, finding the right one can be tricky. Most companies specialize by destination and some sell only to travel agents. "Air Travel's Bargain Basement" saves air travelers hours of fruitless searching and untold dollars on fares by sorting out over 500 sources of discount travel here and abroadand offering valuable consumer protection tips for dealing with these bargain-basement vendors. Entries are cross-referenced for easy look-up by company name, by location, and by destination (Domestic, Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, India, Nepal, Pakistan, etc.)
