Southwest Airlines Adds On Another Sneaky Fee


Of course, all airlines are into the nickel-and-diming routine to boost income and exec salaries. The new SW charge, called Early Bird Check-In, will get you to a seat to grab before all those lined-up ABCD passengers behind you can scramble aboard.

The extra cost will be from $30 to $50, depending on length of the flight. Your travel4seniors.com editor still believes SW is the most economical way to fly within the USA. However, before making reservations on any airline, do your online homework to get the best possible ticket prices, including taxes, extra fees and other sneaky add-ons.
Sr Savings: Call The Hotel Direct To Get Lowest Room Price PDF Print E-mail


They’re always worth checking, but sometimes neither online travel sites nor bricks’n’mortar travel agencies always get the best hotel prices. Most effective for finding a lower quote can often be to call the hotel phone directly during business hours.

But be sure to call the hotel’s local phone number, never the 800 info line. Then you could get an operator in Timbuktu you can’t understand. Further, that person may have no authority to book you for anything but the highest advertised retail price.

Of course, the season has much to do with day-by-day rates. For lowest prices, book Miami in July, Aspen in August, Las Vegas in October and New York in February.
