Airline Prices restricting business travel - use this tool

Business travel is an ongoing "need" in the United States. Many corporate travel budgets have taken a big hit due to the oil prices and jet fuel cost. Tracking airfare from numerous sites can cost you alot of unneccesary time .

I can help you cut that time in half! Farecast.com has a tool that will track flights from many different online reservation sites. You simply input your information, how often you would like notified on pricing, and the site takes it from there. It really is a time saver.

Also, try connecting Farecast.com with Hotwire.com. Hotwire compares prices from surrounding airports. Another time and money saving tool.

Lastly, if you are booking for a group - 16 or more passengers - try using Airline Consolidator.com for pricing. This is a low cost airline wholesaler. Review the pricing list, and then contact your lowest airline price option (ie/ American Airlines, Korean Air, etc). You will have a point of negotiation, as well as, have located a group sales department to call on.

I use all of these options for my travel groups. These tools save me time and my clients alot of money - by telling me and them "when" to book!

Happy traveling!
