Getting more for less when you travel
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting 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
$109. Laura paid the full fare of $457. She decided that next
time she would find out how to travel for less.
Here some ways to travel for less:
Cheap airplanes tickets. To fly for less money, you can buy
non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before you
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 cost around $1800.
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.
Hostels. Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations –
in dormitories – for people under the age of 25. Nowadays,
hostels don’t have any age requirements. They’re not only
cheap ($8 - $17 a night) but a great way to meat people.
Hostels are often in interesting places – a castle in Germany, a
lighthouse in California, a one-room schoolhouse in the
wilderness Of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries
like swimming pools.
After reading.
V. Discuss the following.
1.Would you want to travel as an air courier? Take a long train
trip? Stay in a hostel?
2.What advice would you give someone who wants to travel
for less in your country? Which hotels, restaurants, means of
transportations, and stores would you recommend?
