... Deal.
I've been travelling extensively for most of my adult life. I usually "shop" pretty well, rarely sacrificing comfort for price, and usually not paying "top of the market" prices.
Travel deals depend on luck, advance planning, and local intelligence. Finding the occasional superb travel website
can also help.

(** Hint: when booking hotel travel, foreign or domestic, always take a second and see if you can find better pricing at www.venere.com. Venere is a European company that competes favorably with many of the best prices. Desiree and I got a screaming deal at San Francisco's Mark Hopkins a couple years ago, thanks to Venere!)
So, back to today's blog subject- My All Time Best Travel Deal. This fall I'm celebrating Oktoberfest in Munich with my Croatian friend Jack Dooley. I'm adding 5 days to see Berlin.
I've always wanted to visit Berlin!
I've always wanted to visit Berlin!
The "base airfare" (exclusive of fuel surcharge, taxes, fees) is a shocking TWO EURO ROUNDTRIP. Even with all fees included, this 1200 mile trip is only 58 Euro!
And not some "fly by nite, chewing gum, and tape" airline. This is BerlinAir we're talking about.
And my Berlin hotel, newly built this coming Spring 2010, and well-located, is EasyHotel's 10 square meter room for 125 Euro for FIVE NIGHTS!
Getting a great deal makes travelling that much more fun, wouldn't you agree ?!
