REVIEW: THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE TO CHEAP AIRFARES, Michael McColl, Insider Pubs Here’s a great guide for those of us who are thrifty travellers (or who would like to be) and don’t like to spend any more money than necessary, especially when travelling.  We’ve all heard about cheap fares and tales of people flying all over the world as couriers, but where to get current information is the big question.   Author Michael McColl has travelled extensively throughout the world and is one of the founding writers of Fodor’s budget travel series THE BERKELEY GUIDES.  He tells us that cheap flights are easy to get if you know where to look.  THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE TO CHEAP AIRFARES is a great source of this kind of information, not only on courier flights but also through consolidators, discounters and charters as well. There are over 100 listings of sources and contacts for cheap flights that were current as of January 1995.  The various strategies outlined in the book are timeless however.  Once you’ve learned how to uncover a travel bargain you’ll always be able to do it. Everyone would like to know how to "beat the airlines at their own game" and this interesting guide will show you many tricks of the cheap traveller. In addition to cheap airfares, McColl’s book offers more – like cheap hotels, hostels and eateries.  Imagine a nice clean hostel bed in Los Angeles for $15.00 a night.  Also included are some interesting things to do and see. THE WORLDWIDE GUIDE TO CHEAP AIRFARES is well written, organized and indexed. It is a delightful book that will make you feel like a seasoned veteran cheap traveller even if you never go anywhere.  Just knowing the tricks and strategies will make you smile every time you see ads for airlines. Its definitely a great investment at $14.95.   %T      The Worldwide Guide to Cheap Airfares %I      Insider Publications
