ChristiaNet.com (http://www.christianet.com), the world's largest Christian portal with twelve million monthly page loads, has just launched a new directory on travel packages including information on Hawaii vacation packages. "ChristiaNet is dedicated to helping readers find information on purchasing competitive vacation packages," says, President Bill Cooper. Doing a search online could result in a virtual tour, taking advantage of advertised specials, and the capability of making online reservations. Another way of finding a specific travel package is by using a travel agency. (http://www.christianet.com/travelpackages/)

Packages often include discounted hotel rates, discounted airline tickets, and coupons that offer a savings to local tourist attractions and restaurants. Oftentimes a vacation package will include tours surrounding a tourist attraction. Most advertised tours are for a certain number of people and include transportation and meals. Cooper says, "Purchasing a vacation package through a travel agency can offer some perks that will help when vacationing. Travel agencies often take care of little details for their clients, such as car rentals, transportation from the airport to the hotel, and bookings for tours, etc."

Airlines offer promotions that include cheap airline flights to specific destinations and sometimes are combined with other offers. For instance, some Hawaii vacation packages include discounted flights, along with a discounted hotel package for so many nights. A travel package might include a cruise, or a special honeymoon vacation. Sometimes discounts are associated with specific times of the year. Promotions are usually heavy around down times to try to generate business. Some Hawaii vacation packages include promotions that include a spa package with a massage. Little perks can generate business but promotions by airlines are often a result of the competition between airlines.

The U.S. Department of Transportation's (DOT) Air Travel Consumer Report states, "U.S. Airlines experienced a lower rate of on-time flights and more reports of mishandled baggage last year than in 2005, but passengers filed fewer complaints with the government about airline service than they did the previous year." Are there fewer complaints because there are fewer flyers with U.S. Airlines? Cheap airline flights promote competition between airlines that help to promote travel by consumers. Since consumer complaints are down in 2006 compared to 2005, maybe this is a good time to travel by air. For more information, visit: http://www.christianet.com/articles/

Finding The Best Travel Deals

When it comes to travel deals, most shoppers turn to the internet for the best prices on their hotel and transportation. The reason is because online discount travel shoppers are often tempted with special internet-only rates, discounts for early reservation and the ability to receive and print and instant confirmation.

There are no huge secrets to finding travel deals, but rather some facts that will help you to find the best deal possible. One such recommendation is that, if feasible, you should plan to travel on a weekday. In general, rates for both transportation and hotels are more expensive on the weekend simply because that is when most people travel. If arrangements are made on a weekday, the costs can be significantly less. The same is true of holidays, which is when a large number of people travel in order to spend time with their family. The costs during this time can add up quickly, so traveling a little earlier or later than everyone else could save you a bundle on discount travel.

Consumers should always make their hotel and transportation reservations as early as possible. This includes airfare, train tickets or even car rentals. The earlier the reservation is made, the better selection the consumer will have. The same is true of hotels and accommodations, which often book up early if they feature additional amenities, including a kitchenette, view, suite, etc.

Travelers who opt for making their travel deals online are in for a treat. Finding themselves with an array of choices, photos and detailed information are just a few of the benefits linked to snagging online travel deals. One of the most important things to remember when it comes to discount travel is that special rates are often non-refundable. For this reason, it’s recommended that travelers review the company’s cancellation policy and understand how any special pricing may relate to that policy.
