INTRODUCTION:
TRAVEL IN STYLE

Air travel is an art in itself and savvy travelers know how to make the most out of their voyages. The first step is to evaluate your specific tastes and requirements. Some dream of luxurious first class trips while others find themselves far more comfortable in business class. Others know how to make the most of economy and coach seating.

No matter what, you are not going to enjoy your experience if you overspend. Exceeding your budget is not the best approach because you are more likely to feel a great deal of stress during your trip.

Once you have established how much you can spend, you can set your priorities in order to accommodate your budget.
