Travel for Americans is really expensive these days. We have 2 excellent tips for saving, and making, money.
Here is a tip on Getting Bumped From a Domestic Flight; If the airline gets you to your destination 2 or more hours later than your original ETA airlines are required, by the Department of Transportation, to pay you up to $400. Here is another tip: Even if you will arrive at your destination less than 2 hours late, the airline is still supposed to pay you up to $200.
Also the Department of Transportation is looking at increasing the amounts of compensation the airlines must pay for bumping from $400 to $1,248.
Here’s how to save big money by using your high school French or Spanish.
If, for example, you are renting a car in Spain instead of booking online through Hertz.com go to Hertz.es and you can rent the same car for a lot less. It is a matter of using the country’s domain name. France=fr; Germany=de, etc. We tried this and I can tell you it is true. We just found a Peugeot on Hertz.com for 215 Euros ($306) a day. The same car rents at Hertz.es for 137 ($193) Euros a day. That’s a difference of $113.00! Brush up your languages and save money!!
