Book now for mid-spring
Although I have seen an uptick in fares over the past week or so, the airlines are not yet programming heavily for some of the sweet spots of spring that roll around come late April and early May. There's far less competition then from school kids, families, vacationers and long weekenders; it's mostly just you and a lot of business travelers. Folks traveling on a mission tend to make for more efficient airports and slightly less expensive fares, and the airlines themselves don't have any major holidays on which to hang predatory fares. Book now and you could nab a great deal on a mid-spring trip.

Don't wait for summer, especially in Europe
Even if you want to avoid the spring breakers, you may not want to wait too long. The airlines have already started pushing up fares for international routes;  our agents booking Europea travel have noticed that airfares to Europe are on their way up, particularly for summer — so early spring may be your last chance to get a decent fare on a Europe flight until the fall.

A Great Way to Hide Valuables
Passport security socks give you a great way to hide valuables. They come in different sizes and heights, from ankle socks to over-the-calf styles. A zipped pocket can hold cash, passport, keys, and other small valuables. Some styles even protect from swelling by providing compression, and they wick excess moisture away from your feet to keep them comfortable and dry.

Aromatherapy Oil for Headaches
If suffering from a headache during travelling, try massaging lavender aromotherepy oil where the pain is - it works wonders!
