Paris Around

Posts Tagged ‘International’

So you have decided that it is time for you to hang your boots for a couple of weeks and take the plunge. I mean take a trip somewhere with your family. Rather, take a trip to some other exotic country and cool your heels off. What are the preparations you need to make such a travel or trip successful? Here are some quick tips:

1. Geo political basics of your destination:

Location and Demographics: The first thing you have to do for any international travel is to know more and more about the place you are scheduled to visit. Where is it located.? Which are the major states/provinces?
Political : What kind of a government does it have. Does it have a monarchy ( Brunei) or a democratic (India) or communist government (Cuba).Does it recognize human rights? Is the country part of UN? Is it a religious state especially an Islamic country (Saudi Arabia)? Does the country have political instability (Pakistan or Iran)?

Society : is it socially safe? Does it have ethnic/religious discord amongst its people like Iraq or Myanmar or Indonesia? Is it safe for tourists where Afghanistan is not? And if you are a westerner, check it twice.

2.

Climatic conditions:

Try to learn about the climatic conditions prevailing during the time of visit. Colder climates would mean packing your luggage with more woolen and warm clothing. Warmer or seaside climate means mostly Tees and light coloured clothing. In case you are travelling to the middle east , pack some sun screen lotion too. So it is imperative that you know the expected climate and temperatures for that location.

3. Culture and Society :

Some countries have very orthodox cultures and expects to impose the same to all citizens and residents or even travelers who come to their country.

The best example of this would be Saudi Arabia. They do not tolerate any deterrence from the rules and cultures they have and would like you to observe while on their soil. Women must be fully covered from top of their heads to toes. No movies or liquor anywhere in their country. Violation brings strict punishment even leading to public beheading. Some other countries which though they have orthodox cultures are not of an imposing nature. An example is Japan which has very conservative and strict way of life but they do not impose it upon foreigner or travelers. So before you embark on your trip it is very essential to know the cultures and the practices of the society of the country that you would be visiting.  Read more...

These days money, or lack there of, seems to play a large role in deciding whether to make those overseas travel plans. Fortunately it doesn’t have to be this way because even those with moderate incomes can choose to fly to far off lands if they know the secrets of international travel discount airfares. By being flexible, shopping around, and knowing some tried and true bargain travel methods you too can save money on your next trip abroad.

The biggest key to getting the best international airfare bargains is shopping around. There are literally hundreds of different fares available for just about any destination and taking the time to research and compare prices can pay off big time. The ability to use travel sites on the internet makes this task easier then ever because many of these sites will do the price comparisons for you. Using internet travel sites does need to be taken with a grain of salt though, because while they do a great job of searching the flights for you this does not mean that they include every possibility.

One technique that seems to be overlooked is checking with the individual airlines themselves. They often offer cheap tickets that can only be bought through their own ticketing and reservation agents and websites. So be sure to make some phone calls just to see what is available.

You also need to check with travel agents and agencies. These are the pros at the travel business and many times they have access to low cost international airfares that aren’t available on the internet. A good travel agent can save you money and make planning your trip a hassle free experience; something that even the best online sites can’t offer.

Also check with travel agents or agencies that specialize in specific destinations or serve an ethnic population. These types of agencies work with foreign airlines to provide discount tickets to their home countries, often at a savings that can’t be beat.

Another good place to look are “Bucket Shops” which are airfare consolidators who buy tickets in bulk directly from the airlines at discounted prices. They pass these savings onto their customers who are willing to use this system which works like this; you let them know a date range you would like to travel and some destinations you are interested in. If they make a bulk purchase that fits into your travel plans you can get heavily discounted tickets, but you do need to be flexible.  Read more...
