Espisode 11: The Fight For Airfare

Unless you are just loaded with a lot of money, most--if not all of us are looking for the best possible deal when it comes to finding flights to Tuscany.   As I write this, flights to Florence and Pisa are outrageous!  I feel like taking a shot of Grappa every time I see the price flash up on my computer screen. 

In this weeks Total Tuscany podcast we turn to expertise of George Hobica, President and founder of AirfareWatchdog.com.  His insight and advice will be beneficial for those of you who are in the planning stages of your next trip. We discuss:

• Using "Alternative" Airports"
• The benefit of email alerts
• Is there a magic number
• A long layover for a better deal isn't all bad
• The best days to fly
• Does "searching" a lot increase your price and how often to search
• Peak, shoulder and down times to fly

Remember, if you are looking for the "best" deal you are going to have to be flexible!  Our advice, have dollar amount in mind that you want to spend, if you find it, buy it!  We would love hear you tips for for finding the best deal, tell us in by leaving a comment!
