The Top Classic Rental Cars in Las Vegas

In Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, everything is made or designed to amaze and entice people, tourists and locals alike, to spend some or even all of their hard earned money in the city’s many establishments, attractions, and services.

The competition is stiff and this has caused the rise of the quality of services in the city. Thus, it is a very difficult task to choose the cream of the crop, may it be the best hotel, the finest restaurant, or the most happening bar in the city. The same difficulty applies in choosing the best classic rental cars in Las Vegas.

Over the years, the rental car industry has been steadily expanding, due mainly to the influx of hundreds of thousands of tourists from all over the world. The rental car industry, in its effort to increase its profits, has created a special niche for classic rental cars in Las Vegas. This was a good move for them, since many people seem to enjoy driving in classic rental cars all around Las Vegas. There is a certain charm, a certain glamour in cruising in the world’s most dazzling city in a vintage, classic vehicle.

Because of the astounding number of choices available when it comes to classic rental cars in Las Vegas, the task of choosing the best is certainly difficult. But if prices and popularity were to be taken into consideration, the following cars come up at the top.

The Silver Cloud Rolls Royce is a favorite for weddings and other very special occasions. Those who visit Las Vegas with their families and want to see the sights in style and comfort tend to pick an Oldsmobile or a Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine. Individuals with a flair for attention and a need for speed choose the more sleek and stylish convertibles such as the Corvette or the Jaguar.

Classic rental cars enthusiasts in Las Vegas should be delighted by the number of classic rental cars available in the city. Although classic rental cars fill the city’s streets to bursting, it is in Fremont Street, Las Vegas, where one can see those most. This is because classic rental cars fit delightfully well with the timeless facades of the establishments found in Fremont Street, Las Vegas.

One can almost imagine a time when the streets of Vegas were filled with classic cars. Surely, it was a time when the city was filled with a glamour that cannot be replicated. Still, the resurgence of classic rental cars, as seen on the famous Fremont Street in Las Vegas is a testament that the city has still retained its glamour and has just mixed it with the flashiness of more modern tastes and aesthetics.

Rob Reiner flounders with “Flipped”
With only one hit film since the mid-’90s — and that one being a cloying and artificial cancer comedy “The Bucket List” — Rob Reiner hopes to get his mojo back with “Flipped,” a return to the sometimes painful and sometimes poignant coming-of-age film he pulled off so splendidly in his 1986 film “Stand By Me.”

Air Travel: the New First Class Dining Experience

With first-class air travel reaching enormous amounts in regards to cost, what are the airlines doing for their first-class passengers in exchange for such hefty dues? For one, they are upping the ante when it comes to the onboard first-class dinging experience. As we all know, airfare has sky rocketed recently as the average first-class round trip flight is around $13,000. Yes, a much more comfy seat and more leg room may be worth the price, but airlines are beginning to do away with those pre-determined menus and beginning to go so far as to hiring their very own on-board chefs.

Yes, you heard it correctly. With several airlines, your very own first-class chef is available on your flight. Of course, much of this sort of activity is being done on more foreign flights, but it seems to be quite a popular trend these days. The number one and number two rated best on-board meals currently go to Gulf Air and Cathay Pacific (Gulf Air being the airline with the personal chef aboard, of course.) While this all may be a bit ‘overdone’, like a fresh egg made to order at Cathay Pacific, it really only costs the airlines about $30-50 per traveler. This all seems like a pretty good deal for the airline, as well as the traveler. That is, if this is what they expect out of a $13,000 flight. But it does not end here.

Airlines, such as Singapore Airlines is providing first-class travelers heir choice of beverage, including champagne including Dom Perignon upon boarding the flight. This pleasant experience in accented with a lovely serving of world famous caviar with travelers’ meals. While all of this seems a bit overdone, one may begin to wonder if it is really a bit over the top. In the United States, many of us have not experienced such pleasantries on our flights. We are pretty lucky if we get a free box of snacks, like Southwest Airlines has been so kind as to provide on several flights. Are airlines going to be jockeying for such positions in the future in the US as they have been on foreign airlines? If so, then how far? Today it sounds as if our airlines are really having some trouble dealing with things such as oil prices and rising costs in order to do business.

It is actually a very interesting point in time in regards to the airlines as competition is heating up as well as airfare prices. How high will they go? Who knows? What I wonder about is if the first-class upgrades will really propel the airlines into better profits, ultimately cost them more money, or if they actually have more money than we think? All I know is this is getting very interesting; however, not interesting enough to raise prices for airfare even more just to suit the personal chefs on board. So, what will happen next with the airlines seems to be headed towards raising the bar in terms of quality of experience. But, how will this affect everyone? Hopefully, it will allow airlines to pick themselves up across the board and provide a pleasant flying experience for everyone in the air.

As a person from a developing nation who is moving to the west, would you consider Japan instead?

As most are aware, Japan is begining to slowly lighten its immagration laws as the population ages. Many people from Indonesia for example are moving to Japan to become nurses, along with Japan being just as developed as the west. If you were/are a person moving to a developed country from a developing country in Asia would you consider Japan over the major western nations such as Australia, New Zealand, UK, US and Canada? On the account that the airfares would most likely be cheaper aswell then flying to any western country. Yes there it may be harder to fit into Japanese society then say in Australia where it is already very multicutural but ignoring all that, purely down to quailty of life…would you choose Japan over the west?

These nurses are on temporary work permits and will never be allowed to be permanent residents.

Japan takes very few permanent immigrants and there has to be a proven reason how they will imprive the country. It is essentially impossible for a person from a developing country to get Japanese immigration.

Cheap Airline Tickets

How to get cheap airline tickets (international)?

Is there any other kind of program that provides you with cheap airline tickets besides SkyMiles?

What are some ways of getting cheap international tickets?

There is no secret, magic website with the “cheapest” airfares. You have to do the research, and be as flexible as possible regarding travel dates.

Check the travel sites (airgorilla, expedia, priceline, travelocity, etc.) and also check the airline websites. I have often (not always, but often) found the best fares on the airline websites. Remember to check airlines like JetBlue and Southwest that do not use the travel sites.

Check with a real travel agent to ask about promotional fares and special deals.

If you also need a hotel or rental car, check the cost of combining the purchases in a package. For example, I found a deal with airfare + hotel in Hawaii for a week that was only $100 more than just the airfare.

When traveling to far destinations check the prices when you split the ticket. For example, searching “Chicago to Nairobi” (all on one ticket) MAY cost much more than searching “Chicago to London” and then “London to Nairobi”. If that turns out to be the case, talk to a real travel agent about getting the better fare all on one ticket.

Good luck!

Cheap Airline Tickets : The Affordable Way For Better Journeys

Humans have been travelling for all sorts of needs and since the beginning of time. Even before technology was developed; people have been travelling using animals like horses, camels and donkeys. Later came great inventions; from carts to car, boats to ships, bikes to motorcycle and then came aeroplanes and helicopters. And the recent times witnessed the greatest travelling machine bringing men to space; testing the very limits of minds.

In today’s world where efficiency means time and money, travelling by air would be the best way to save time provided that there’s a way to fly cheap. Furthermore, for journeys accross the globe; from a country to another, from a continent to the other would be shortest by air rather than by sea. This is especially important to those who travel frequently across the globe for work or businesses or even leisure.

Travelling by air is also far more comfortable with no traffic jams around and flights usually provide everything you need for travel within the plane itself. The question is, how to get cheap airline tickets since travelling by flight is usually more expensive than other means? You can actually find cheap and affordable airline tickets from time to time if you know how, where and when to find them.

One of the ways to get cheap air tickets would be by using low fare airline services. This type of airline companies usually provide cheap fares with minimal on board services included in the fare. Extra services are available with an extra charge if you need them.

Cheap tickets are also available from standard airline services especially during seasonal promotions all year round. Great discount and cheap holiday packages are also available from these airline companies during fairs annually held by them or tourism boards. Some airlines offer discounts for tickets bought through their online service, few weeks prior to the departure dates. And many dedicated online companies now offer a range of services including cheaper flight tickets for their loyal frequent flyers.

Airline tickets are generally cheaper if bought weeks earlier on departure. Choosing to fly off peak hours dates would also be the key to finding cheap and affordable tickets. Check out reliable travel agencies around as they might also offer lower prices for airline tickets and discounts from time to time.

Therefore, the next time you’re thinking about flying for work or simply leisure, keep these tips in mind for a fast and money saving journey worldwide.

The Hopper Flight Scenario – Saving $$ On Airfare

For those of you who have attended my lectures, classes or public events in the last few years you may recognize a term I coined; The Hopper Flight Scenario. I believe this method of researching your airfare may be the most important part of planning a trip and will yield the highest savings of any one thing you can do. I don’t believe I invented the process because professional travelers like myself have been using these methods for years; but as far as I know, no one has packaged it into a process which anyone can follow.

Lets start where 99% of people begin; airfare. Just after your voice box utters the phrase “lets go to… ” ” then the wheels begin to spin on where to get the best price for a ticket to get to ” ” Most of us go immediately to the internet to websites like Orbitz, Expedia or a favorite airline site such as Delta, American or British Air. We begin the random placement of dates, departure times, cities and such, and continue to spin the roulette wheel of entries until a price, departure time and date seems to be what we are looking for. Many people “site hop” to cross compare trying to beat the last site they visited lowest price. Others go to their trusty travel agent who will do exactly the same process with slightly different search tools and may or may not come back with a lower price. All in all the airfare search process is a game that most of us hate to play. The majority of these searches produce a combination of airlines, connection cities and layover times to get the price low. Many travelers just use their favorite airline to get frequent flyer miles but may pay more for the few miles they gain and can never, ever redeem when they want, due to blackout dates or random policy changes.

The Hopper Flight Scenario applies to Europe, but can be applied to regional airlines in the US as well. For this example, let’s say you want to go to Rome from Seattle. The first step in the process feels a little out of whack but will make sense later. Go to your favorite source for air, no matter if it’s the airline website, mega travel site or local travel agent and ask for the price for round trip from your city, in this case Seattle to one of four destinations in Europe; London, Amsterdam, Dublin and Paris. From those locations pick exactly what you want in departure times, travel time, layovers and connection city; get it the way you want it. Pay attention and keep the overall cost as low as possible but keep the details of the trip as close to ideal for you as possible.

The second part of the puzzle involves the use of one of the most successful concepts known to travel today; the low cost carrier. For some reason Europe knows how to do it right offering flights between major cities for mere pennies. Europeans have been savvy travelers using these options for years to hop between places like London to Amsterdam or Paris to Rome. These flights sell all day long for usually under Euro 100. How do they do that you say? Well the pricing structure is quite complicated and prices can range between one cent; yes one cent to several hundred dollars depending on the time of day, season (high or low) or if you are trying to fly on a holiday. The carriers also use the no frills model with no first or business class, no seating assignments, no complementary drinks or snacks and strict luggage weight requirements. All the restrictions and lack of creature comforts means deep savings when traveling within Europe. Many times it is less expensive to take a flight than it is to take the train. One of the major players is Ryan air which is the most profitable airline in the world. The Dublin, Ireland based airline operates new aircraft to hundreds of destinations within Europe for fares as low as one penny each way during one of their online sales. One thing you can’t do is get any of these tickets from your local travel agent. Fares are only sold online and fares change not every day but every hour so you must be on your best trip planning game when attempting to find the lowest price.

Putting the pieces of the hopper flight scenario together to save you money takes a little homework but will pay off big. To give you an idea what it looks like when it’s done correctly here is an example of the Hopper Flight Scenario at its best.

Major Carrier vs. Major Carrier + Hopper – Seattle Washington to Rome Italy

Seattle to Rome on one carrier, round trip– June 2009; result: Northwest Airlines price USD $1724 per person – source orbitz.com

Seattle to London on one carrier, round trip – June 2009; result: Northwest $985 RT pp + Hopper Flight, London to Rome RT € 116.00 = about USD $150.00. – source easyjet.com -Total Price USD $1135 per person

SAVINGS of $589 PER PERSON!

So as you can see The Hopper Flight Scenario pays off big time if you are willing to put in the time and energy to put all the little bits in place. Needless to say its not all good news; there is a downside to taking hopper flights that is worth telling you about.

The majority of low cost carriers do not fly into the major airports but secondary, smaller airports like Ciampino (CIA) instead of the major Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) (FCO). This means a longer trek to get to or from when flying in or out.

Low cost European carriers have very low baggage weight allowances. Luggage allowances are 10kg (22 Lbs) for hand luggage and 20kg (44 Lbs) for items checked on most carriers. To Americans; 44 pounds is just the shoes we are bringing and with some airlines charging up to 10 euro per kilo over the allowance; your budget ticket can soon turn expensive.

Lastly the low cost carriers offer a limited number of flights per day so making them work with your arrival or departure times, connection times and layovers takes some skill. On average there are two flights per day; morning and evening.

As you can see the hassle factor is quite high when using The Hopper Flight Scenario but the payoff can mean the difference between having to watch your pennies during the trip or “waiter another bottle of your finest please”

If you like the results but don’t want to deal with all the homework; my USA office would be happy to do it for you. Give them a call at 425.355.3711 or info@travel4real.com, www.italy4real.com.

Airfare Questions:

Discount airline USA southeast?

Providing discount airfares between USA southeast and northeast (New York etc.)

JetBlue is a good option. Don’t know what the first reply was on about Southwest; they fly newly-purchased Boeing 737 jets only, the world’s best-selling jet aircraft with an amazing record for passenger safety. AirTran is also a good option. Be aware that airlines usually match each others’ fares on competing routes, so when AirTran has a sale, American or Continental or United will usually match the price within a few hours of the sale being announced. You can do a quick and thorough comparison using http://www.bookingbuddy.com — Airlines that do not participate in other reservation systems (ie, that Booking Buddy won’t find) I’ll list below:

Do you think time travel is possible?

Packer Smacker asked:


How close, or far do you think we may be from actually achieving this? I completely discount the argument that is not possible because we have not been visited by a time traveler yet, so it must not be possible. If you had a time machine, would you jump in it and start going to other times, and announce that you had a time machine? I don’t think so.

Travel Barriers You Encounter When Bringing Your Pets With You

Pet services have come a long, long way in the last few years. With the popularity of pet daycares, spas, pet clothing, and much more, pets and their owners have never had it so good! There are a lot of options for pet owners out there – no matter what it is that they want to do with their pet. However, there are still some difficulties in certain areas when it comes to pets, and traveling is probably the biggest area in which there are barriers for people with pets.

One of these travel barriers is the fact that all restaurants – even truck stops – do not allow pets inside. Unless your pet is a working dog, he or she will have to wait in the car while you dine! If you feel bad about this, consider buying your pet a treat at the restaurant and giving it to them afterwards.

Another travel barrier is paying extra cash for flying with your pet. Most airlines allow pets to fly, but not with their owners. Granted, the animal’s airfare will not be as much as the owner’s, but it is still an extra fee that some people do not like paying. Before you complain about the cost of flying with your pet though, call around to your local kennels and do some research on kennel costs these days. Add that to your guilt about leaving him or her behind, and paying that extra flying fee suddenly won’t seem so bad.

When you travel with your pet, you tend to be very limited on where you can go. A lot of the popular vacation destinations are just not animal friendly, and many places will not even allow pets – especially at hotels. If you search hard enough though, you will eventually find a few places that might be pet friendly, but they will not likely be any of the places that you have seen advertised on the media.

Even if you do manage to vacation at a place that is pet friendly, you will not be able to take your pet sight seeing at many places, and this can definitely put up a barrier to your travels! It is no fun to have to call around and try to get someone to pet sit for you while you are on vacation, or even just traveling from one destination to another.

Another travel barrier that you may encounter when you elect to bring your pet with you is the matter of bathroom breaks. You can’t exactly pull over just anywhere, and you won’t always have a litter box or newspaper handy. This can be the most frustrating part of traveling with your pet, and there is really no good solution to this issue. The most you can really do is keep a careful eye on your pet and monitor when and how much he or she eats and take bathroom breaks accordingly.

Traveling with your pet can cause some problems and difficulties, but some people would just rather have these issues than be without their pet for a long period of time. If you fall into this category, make sure you do your research before you make any decisions as to where you want to go, and you will be fine.
