This is a book that a lot of people in the travel industry wish would go away. It lets a lot of secrets out of the bag. The major airlines don't want you to know that it is possible to fly across the country in first class comfort for less than the major's cheapest back-of-the-plane ticket. The cruise ship industry doesn't want you to know that a single gentleman can cruise for free. The camping industry doesn't want you to know that there are literally thousands of free campsites.

The first chapter takes on the airlines. When the author took his first trip to Europe he bought a ticket and left. Later, he found out he had paid more than twice as much as he could have for the same seat. This experience spurred years of research which eventually resulted in this book.

Travel Bargains is a directory of savings, discounts, steals and deals. It even tells how to fly free, how to take a free trip on a cruise ship, how to make free telephone calls, where to stay in free campsites, how to have the free use of a house in Europe, how to earn free travel when you shop, how to travel in a free rental car and how to get free vacation and trip information. Even when you pay, this book will help you save money on airfare, train, bus and car travel, car rentals, hotels, cruises, tours, and shopping, every time on every trip.

Detailed information is included on how you can work either full or part-time in the travel industry, get paid for flying as a passenger, for going as a passenger on a cruise ship, for helping people on tours, for operating a sail-boat and for taking photographs.

A manual for spectacular savings. How to pay less for airfare, accomodations, sea, train and bus travel plus how to get full or part-time travel jobs.
