How and where can I find cheaper flights?

The key to purchasing cheap airline tickets is to stay at the destination over a Saturday night. Air fares for the most part, have been priced to the extent where business travelers are charged the most, and those are the people that cannot stay a Saturday night. So anytime that you will not be able to spend a Saturday night at the destination, chances are you're going to be facing a more expensive airfare. If you know the precise dates of your trip, you should always book in advance as many days as you possibly can. With those two items, booking in advance and staying a Saturday night, you're bound to get the best fares and the lowest fares.

How do you sell someone a trip?

To sell a trip, you need to qualify your customer. Get a sense of what they've done on other vacations and what they liked about it. Where did they stay? What did they do? This can give you a sense of what type of budget they want. Do they want a mid-range trip? Is this an affluent person who only wants the best brands? You also want to ask the five W's: who, what, when, where, why, and how. Why did they call you? How did they learn about you? This will help you determine what type of trip might be best for your customer.

How do you avoid jetlag?

Every person is different, and some tricks work better for certain individuals than others. Some people like to take a relaxant or medication to make sure they sleep on the flight so that they're well-rested upon arrival. Others don't drink alcohol on board. Personally, I think the most important thing is to immediately meld into the schedule of the destination you've landed at. Eat and sleep at the time the locals are, so your body clock is properly reset.
