Travel Scams
As we search the Web for travel bargains we come across numerous sites which scream "SCAM". Often these offer free air flights or free hotels. This resource gives a set of tips, provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation, to help people recognise a travel scam and avoid the trap.
Travel Scams
The information in this section is courtesy of the U.S. Department of Transportation. We at SHOPFOR feel it's better to be safe than sorry so read on....
Unlike most products, travel services usually have to be paid for before they are delivered. This creates opportunities for disreputable individuals and companies. Some travel packages turn out to be very different from what was presented or what the consumer expected. Some don't materialize at all!
If you receive an offer by phone or mail for a free or extremely low-priced vacation trip to a popular destination (often Hawaii or Florida), there are a few things you should look for:
Does the price seem too good to be true? If so, it probably is.
Are you pressured to make an immediate decision?
Are you asked to give your credit card number over the phone?
Is the carrier simply identified as "a major airline," or does the representative offer a collection of airlines without being able to say which one you will be on?
Is the representative unable or unwilling to give you a street address for the company?
Are you told you can't leave for at least two months? (The deadline for disputing a credit card charge is 60 days, and most scam artists know this.)
If you encounter any of these symptoms, proceed cautiously. Ask for written information to be sent to you; any legitimate travel company will be happy to oblige. If they don't have a brochure, ask for a day or two to think it over; most bona fide deals that are good today will still be good two days from now. If they say no to both requests, this probably isn't the trip for you. Some other advice:
If you are told that you've won a free vacation, ask if you have to buy something else in order to get it. Some packages have promoted free air fare, as long as you buy expensive hotel arrangements. Others include a free hotel stay, but no air fare.
If you are seriously considering the vacation offer and are confident you have established the full price you will pay, compare the offer to what you might obtain elsewhere. Frequently, the appeal of free air fare or free accomodations disguises the fact that the total price is still higher than that of a regular package tour.
Get a confirmed departure date, in writing, before you pay anything. Eye skeptically any promises that an acceptable date will be arranged later. If the package involves standby or waitlist travel, or a reservation that can only be provided much later, ask if your payment is refundable if you want to cancel, and don't pay any money you can't afford to lose.
If the destination is a beach resort, ask the seller how far the hotel is from the beach. Then ask the hotel.
Determine the complete cost of the trip in dollars, including all service charges, taxes, processing fees, etc.
If you decide to buy the trip after checking it out, paying by credit card gives you certain legal rights to pursue a chargeback (credit) if promised services aren't delivered.

Stay on a Farm
There was a time when B&B meant Brandy and Benedictine, but now it\'s Bed & Breakfast - resurgent worldwide as hotel room prices move ever skywards. This site lists 1000 farmhouses in the UK, with photographs, full descriptions, and a bewildering array of keys, crowns, dragons, dogs, rocking horses and flags - dreamed up by a coterie of UK control boards which somehow grade each farmhouse for what it has and is.

Although you won t need to be super fit, being in good health before your trip will ensure you will enjoy your time away. If a cycling or skiing adventure appeals to you, it is sensible to get the bike out or spend extra time on the dry ski slopes. Charities will always inform you of any special fitness requirements for specific adventures and may even recommend a special training program before you go. For most of the trekking trips however, only an average level of fitness is required. Make a point of exercising in the weeks leading up to your departure, going swimming twice a week or taking a class.This is especially important if you are considering a trek in the Andes or Himalayas where the risk of altitude sickness is greater.

Little Known secrets that get you the Free Holidays of your Dreams
You could enjoy a holiday this year in a private villa with swimming pool and a spacious American car
to cruise around in for nothing more than the cost of the flights. Or maybe you fancy a break from it all in the UK, getting paid to stay in a castle for a week or two. Its easy to have holidays like this by exchanging your home with an american family's, or by working as a house-sitter. Not many people know how to go about it yet, but we reveal how to enjoy great, cheap holidays for the rest of your life.
Get paid to live in a luxury Scottish castle become a house-sitter A great way to enjoy a change of scenery in Britain and get paid £100 a week is to sell your services as a house-sitter. More and more house owners are employing peol)le to live in their homes while they are away as a security measure. As a house-sitter you could find yourself looking after some amazing properties all over the country. To become a house-sitter contact the agencies below -and tell them about yourself. Make sure you highlight any positions of responsibility you've held. Once hired, you'll be expected to stay on the property for most of the time, so it's not ideal for avid sightseers or family trips. However, it's a great chance to get away' from your usual distractions if you are retired or if you need to work on a business plan or even a novel! You could just end up in a large country house, a London apartment or even a castle.
Swap rainy England for a fortnight of sunshine in Florida. For a cheap holiday to the States, swap your home with an American family's house for two weeks this year. Americans love Britain -and, while you might be itching to go somewhere hot and spacious, you'll easily find someone who'd relish the chance to live in your house and 'go local' for a while in Britain. Register with one of the agencies below. Your details get sent to existing members and you'll receive details of all other members' homes. Either contact the owners of a home you like the look of, or wait for someone to contact you. Then, when you've arranged dates all you need to pay
for are the flights! Home exchange has -plenty of other advantages too. You get
the opportunity to stay in a local community rather than following a tourist trail having the freedom of a house your exchange partner can recommend local restaurants and services such as babysitting; and you can afford longer holiday's than usual. In short you get to live somewhere else in the world for the price of the flights.
Why pay for car rental when you can exchange cars, too? When exchanging a home for your holiday look into exchanging cars just modify your car insurance. You'll save loads of money
two weeks car hire for a family-sized saloon with insurance in the US typically costs between £6t)0-&,800. Follow this checklist if you want to exchange cars. fl Ensure adequate insurance cover for the proposed use by any named driver. 2j Check all drivers are over 25. 3) Advise your insurers and seek their approval. Exchange copies of insurance policies to the use of the exchange partner. 4) All drivers must have a driving licence applicable to the country where the licence is being used. 5) Make sure that instructions for use of car, ~~liis~ -any other pertinent information is left for ~'our exchange partners for example you need to press the clutch peddle on an American manual car in order to start the ignition.
Bottom Line: Just imagine the expression on your friend's faces when they ask you where you got that tan from and you tell them about your free holiday in the sun!

Travel overseas safely take your own medication with you.
Information:recent UK studies reveal that that many UK holidaymakers buying medicines abroad are supplied with the wrong drugs. Reason: some holiday-makers are unable to speak the foreign language well enough. And some overseas pharmacists do not ask sufficient questions! Statistic: of 54 chemists chosen at random in Barcelona, Cairo and Istanbul, only 13 supplied drugs which were appropriate for the holidaymakers' conditions. Wise advice: put medication in clearly marked bottles, carry a separate list of your drugs and medical conditions, plus a letter from your GP confirming your prescribed medication. This will minimize unwanted attention at customs.

DVT can be caused by traveling in cramped conditions on long-haul flights - blood clots kill one person landing at Heathrow each month. Next time you fly book a mid-morning, overnight or early afternoon flight in the middle of the week you'll have more space. If you are travelling with someone else, book the aisle and window seats in a row. The middle seats are the last ones assigned. If you do end up with someone in the middle, chances are that you can convince that person to trade for one of your seats, so you can end up sitting next to your travel companion.
