Hi
My name is doug ##### and I'm a prosecutor in a small town in california.
Most of my travelling is on a tight budget since I'm not very well paid, and is for leisure , not business.
I tend to take my family of 4 to timeshare properties to save on lodging expenses and try to take the time to book cheap filghts. With 4 seats to purchase, the savings add up quickly.
My strategies include:
1) booking well in advance, since my timeshare exchanges are booked more than a year in advance
2) searching the well known internet sites, then checking the website of the airline with the best fare. Usually I find a cheaper fare there. expedia\priceline, etc are essentially a free search tool to see which airline is cheapest
3) book with low cost carriers ontheir websites such as southwest . american west
4) use my credit card for everything including savings bonds, new car purchase and everyday stuff
5) enroll in every credit card promotion, those double miles add up fast!
This summer we're using 360,000 delta skymiles for a 4 free first class tickets from SFO to madrid with a layover in Paris.
