BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - May 25, 2010) - Based on recent poll results showing more than 70 percent of respondents are planning a summer getaway, Cheapflights.com is declaring that summer travel is back on. However, the poll also revealed that barely more than 25 percent of people thought that summer travel was back "in all its glory," so finding ways to stretch travel dollars is still critical. To help travelers get the most out of their trips this summer, and beyond, Cheapflights is kicking off a new "How To" series that provides tips, tricks and guidelines for getting deals, saving money and traveling like a pro.
The poll asked users "what are your summer vacation plans?" The choices for answers were "still in staycation mode, money is tight," "I need to get away, even for a short trip," or "back to summer travel in all its glory." While almost 29 percent reported they were still in staycation mode, 44 percent voted for the need to get away even for a short break and 27 percent claimed that summer travel was back in full swing.
"People are ready to get away this summer," said Meredith Hanrahan, chief travel officer at Cheapflights. "Our job, as always, is to help people find great deals and plan great trips. We publish more than four million deals a day and, with our 'How To' series, are going one step further in helping people become savvy shoppers, knowledgeable travelers and happy summer vacationers."
The "How To" series starts with three important guides:
- "How to Get a Summer Travel Deal" - A basic guide to deal spotting, with tips on when to go, where to go and when to buy
- "How to Avoid Hidden Costs" - An overview of five types of hidden fees and tips for saving money on all of them
- "How to Cut Your Holiday Expenses" - A list of 10 practical ways to keep your travel budget under control
