Ever since the demand for apartments and other housing facilities increased, the growth of short term apartments has been unstoppable. The usual patrons of these accommodations are people on a business trip, temporary job relocation, training and other personal reasons. You can't beat the convenience these apartments can bring to you since the reliable companies that offer this kind of service are concerned with giving you the best stay as possible. These apartments have complete amenities, which is good for 30 day stays or more. It is really practical especially for those who like to spend less while they're traveling. Since short term apartments are hot in the market today. There are many companies nowadays that provide apartments for frequent travelers. This only means that you have a lot of options, which can either be convenient or hard for some. Well, having many choices can be tough too. You need a lot of time to decide which one can give you a more comfortable stay and has amenities that are suitable for your everyday needs. The best way to go about this is visit as many websites as possible first, narrow down your options and then choose an apartment that best suits your lifestyle. Amenities are just some of the things you need to consider when it comes to short term apartments. The location of the place you are staying is also important so you better make sure that the apartment you have chosen is in the city itself or close to establishments and public transportation. Most apartments are in great neighborhoods but still verify the location to ensure what you've seen on their websites are accurate. Look into these things carefully so as not to face any unnecessary problems once you reach the place you've leased. When it comes to the pricing, you can enjoy the best rates in short term apartments. They are not as luxurious as fancy hotels but this kind of accommodation is surprisingly on the same level with the former. You might raise an eyebrow with that bold declaration but apartments nowadays are starting to get competitive and gain the respect of everyone. So instead of splurging the budget given by your company by staying in posh hotels, why not try these apartments instead and you get more living space in an apartment than a hotel. You can still feel relaxed and comfortable even in while saving money. If you have companions, these apartments come in various sizes too. They can accommodate two persons and even a family of four or five can fit in these short term apartments. Most people would think that apartments are deprived of privacy but that's not the case with this kind of short term housing. You're guaranteed to have a peaceful and relaxing stay same as when you're staying in a hotel. With lots of apartments advertised on the internet nowadays, you'll never have a hard time finding an accommodation that can give you the kind of services you need.

Backpackers Must Know This |
| Selasa, 30 Juni 2009 |
Backpackers are the typical kind of travelers who are always on the hunt of economical/ cheap/ budget airfare. I remember looking at the movie "TITANIC", in this movie Leonardo DiCaprio wins ticket to board Titanic in a gamble. It is very difficult but not impossible to bag a discounted cheap flight ticket. It is only a strategy game. If you play the game with a strategy, you may rarely loose and often win. The rule to this strategy game are as follows-- 1.First and foremost it is always a good idea to book your tickets in advance at least 21 days in advance. Airlines generally give out cheap tickets if you book your ticket in advance. 2.Before you book your tickets you should always try searching for fares in different travel portals, you should at least search in 5 portals. Compare the prices of different carriers. 3.When you search for flights, try searching for smaller airports near you destinations. The less the demand for the flight, the cheaper they tend to be. 4. Be flexible about your travel dates, some times a day before or day after of your chosen date may be cheaper. 5.Mondays are the most preferred day of travel, try avoiding it, the lesser the demand the cheaper the fares are. 6.If you are a student, senior Citizen, a sports person or you fall under other special categories, ask the airline if they can provide special discounts for you. 7.No one wants to travel in the middle of the night and so there is less demand for flights at odd times. If you don't mind traveling at odd times, you may save a lot on flight tickets. 8.There is not much cost difference between Round trips and one way; so you may as well chose to book your round trip, and save on flight tickets. 9.When travelling inside US, try choosing nonstop flights, the more stops you will have the more tax you would be paying, so your ticket will get costlier. The case is just opposite if you are travelling abroad, two are three stop flights tend to be cheaper when travelling abroad. 10.If you are travelling abroad, try choosing national airlines of the destination country, there are generally less taxes involved on national airlines. However this may not be always true. 11.On international flights if you choose 1 or 2 stop flights and if the layover time is more than 4 hours the flight tickets tend to be cheaper. I hope you have greatly benefited with above tips, and hope you have saved few hundred dollars. About the Author: Cheapfare Guru Cheapfare Guru is the expert travel agent based in Los Angeles CA.

Get Info About 5 ways to travel like a jet setter without breaking the bank |
| Senin, 29 Juni 2009 |
Travel is my favorite pastime. If I had my way, I'd travel to a different country each month for the rest of my life. But, I have yet to make my millions and I'm not willing to live out of a backpack. Not to worry though. As the old adage goes: Where there's a will, there's a way. In the past few years, I have found a few ways to travel in style without spending the bulk of my remaining disposable income. 1. Choose your destinations and travel time wisely. The weakened dollar should definitely encourage you to consider locations where your money goes farther. There are plenty of excellent and less expensive resort towns and amazing things to see and do in places like Seychelles, Ukraine, Argentina, Iceland, Morocco, Australia and Zambia. Also, if possible, travel during the shoulder season (between high and low season) for cheaper airfare and hotel rates. 2. Compare fares and seek out reasonably-priced amenities. Use websites like Kayak.com and FareCompare.com for a side-by-side comparison of airfare and hotel rates. Use mileage to upgrade your flight class; if you don't have enough miles accrued, you can buy a few hundred miles to make it happen. Once you've flown business or first class (or privately!), it can be painful to move back to coach. To make long waits in the airport more enjoyable, purchase a day pass to an airport club lounge (average $25 to $50). Annual memberships are available but if you're not a frequent traveler, this may not be cost-effective. Check online for lounge club reviews before buying a pass. Finally, look for stylish boutique hotels that offer the same kinds of amenities as the big chains without the hefty rates. 3. Dress strategically and accessorize wisely. Choose a color scheme of two or three colors to easily mix-and-match your outfits and to keep luggage to a minimum. Limit yourself to no more than three pairs of shoes: walking shoes, dress shoes and sandals. Always bring at least one dressy outfit for a night out on the town. Pack items made of jersey, which are easy to dress up or down and don't wrinkle. Ladies should remember to pack or purchase a nice scarf, which can easily dress up any outfit, whether it's jeans or a sexy black dress. 4. Make the most of your social and professional network. Ask your social media "friends" and "followers" for recommended activities as well as contacts in your destination city. It always helps to find the best (and less expensive) events and entertainment when you know someone who knows the place well, especially if you're flying solo. The hotel concierge is also an excellent resource for verifying information and for seeking activities within your budget. He or she may also be aware of discounts for some activities. 5. Go off the beaten path. Often the best part of travel is enjoying unique and authentic experiences. Do enjoy local parties, nightclubs, art galleries, museums, shopping, fine restaurants and other points of interests; just remember to talk to the locals and expats to find interesting and inexpensive opportunities such as having a traditional meal with a local family; cooking, language or dance lessons; hiking trails or other recreational activities, and artist hangouts to meet new people and find low-priced artwork and souvenirs.
What's most important is to remember that being a jet-setter is not about wearing designer clothing and overindulging. You can definitely define your jet set adventure to suit almost any budget. Whatever you do and wherever you go, be courteous, confident and stylish!
