Airline Fare School # 13 - Class dismissed!

AFS 13.jpg
To those of you who have read all of the chapters of Airline Fare School you have my thanks and congratulations.

I hope you get the chance to put some of the things you've learned into practice when you plan a future trip.

At the very least, try to be creative when you structure trips. Use the tinker toys approach, and avoid being a slave to the tyranny of "round-trips" when something else might work better.

I'll continue to write the occasional post about something interesting, unusual, or downright wacky when it comes to airline fares but this is the end of the structured approach of Airline Fare School.

To make it easier to get access to the series, here's a table of contents:

Thanks for the kind words, Nigel. I'm glad that you found Airline Fare School useful. Please pass it on to your classmates if you like.

By the way, I'll be doing a similar (but much shorter) treatment of Amtrak fares in the not too distant future.

Good luck with the Travel & Tourism program!

I've learned more in your short course about airline fares than I would have thought possible. Thanks for a lot of info in a reader friendly style.
Love Amtrak and can't wait for the Amtrak version.
