Customer Reviews

A fun book to read

I travel a lot and know a lot about it. In her book I did learn a couple of things I did not know. I disagreed with a couple of things that were not really important. The book is a little dated and doesn't take into account the baggage searches we face since 9-11, or the fact that most Travel Agents no longer receive airline commissions. When I receive Conde Nast Traveler the first thing I do is read the Ombudsman section. Reading this was like having many years of the Ombudsman at once. I liked that.

An outstanding and very readable travel resource book

This is a terrific reference book on travel. I've learned many helpful tips that have resulted in better trips - and a real savings of money! I recommend it to anyone who enjoys traveling. I hope she will write more in the future.

I don't know how I traveled before without it!

I thought I was a highly astute traveler; I'd read other guides before. Not until I read this marvelous tome did I realize how inept I was at negotiating through travel's often treacherous waters. I've been using many of these tips on recent trips and... lo and behold... now things go so much more smoothly! I've even gotten refunds from travel disasters which I didn't know were available before. I was visiting Broadway in NYC recently and, it turns out, this book has been turned into a Broadway show (of the same name)! The show is every bit as funny as the book.
