Free Travel Secrets - Part 1



Too good to be true , you ask? Can you really fly for free?
Is there such a cheap flight available? Absolutely, travelers all around the
world do it all the time. But how, you ask? Well one way is to write it
off on taxes as a business expense. Keep in mind it does take some planning
& leg work. But don't worry , we'll show you the ropes.

Get Bumped
Now you can fly from point A to point B without ever opening your
pocketbook. First off you have to know your way around an airport.
One of the easiest ways to fly for free is to get purposely bumped due to
overcrowding. .Airlines usually overbook their flights by 10% to 30%,
knowing that a certain number of customers will not show up for one
reason or another. This is quite normal. On occasion their numbers are
off, and they're faced with 210 seats and 215 passengers. Those extra five
people most likely will get irate unless dealt with immediately.
This is where you come in.

Since you registered for that flight knowing it would overbook. Start to observe
the airport staff as they realize the potential problem at hand. Your next step is
to get out of line, find an airline representative, and offer to be bumped from
the flight. You are actually doing the airline a favor. In return, it will allow you to fly to your destination for free on the next plane out & possibly get some free
drink vouchers for the trouble. Her is another great idea...

Frequent Flyer Plan
As you know many airlines offer frequent flyer programs that allow passengers
to accumulate points every time they take a trip with that airline. You have to fly a lot of miles to get any free trips, but for the business traveler this is an easy way to get free travel. The problem with Frequent Flyer programs is that they change their regulations or become discontinued more often than not. If you know you won't travel enough in any given year to accumulate enough points to earn a free trip, then sell them to a coupon broker. They buy these Frequent Flyer awards and resell them to the public at very low prices. Ultimately you sell them & then buy a cheaper flight from one of these brokers & pocket the rest to spend on vacation.

So there you have it. Now remember I take no responsibility if you
put these plans to action. Stay tuned for part 2 of
Free Travel Secrets.
