TRAVELING

Do you know how to get inexpensive airline and train tickets?

On a recent flight, Laura was talking happily with the woman in the next seat –until the conversation turned to fares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid a full fare of $109. Laura paid the full fare of $457. She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.

Here are some ways to travel for less:

Cheap airline tickets. To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier. In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular fare – or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket costs around $1,800.

Train passes. If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe where trains go to over 30,000 cities.
