These are at the top of my list of tips and tricks to finding cheaper airfares.
I travel more than 300,000 miles a year including my weekly commute between NYC and LA. When you travel that much, you learn some of the best secrets that make flying the best it can be.
Listen as I share:
– my road warrior insights
– best travel tips
– how to book the flight most likely to offer a first class upgrade.
– 2 travel treasures I’ve never talked about but never leave home without.

01:39 The best day of the week to buy a ticket has changed.
01:56 Two cheapest days to fly during the week and the one most expensive day to avoid.
02:23 Understanding airfare fluctuation: How many times lowest airfare changes from the day it goes on sale to when the flight takes off.
03:12 When is the sweetspot for advance booking and why you should set a calendar alert for shopping airfares.
03:57 If you want a better price, follow these 3 tricks.
05:38 The site that United Airlines sued but lost …and what are hidden city ticket fares and when you want one.

The raw data of flight inventory is extremely valuable especially when trying to find replacement flights after yours gets canceled, award flights and how many different fares are available for sale.
15:08 How to learn from the frequent fliers like the best geeks and what never to ask.
16:04 You’ve earned the miles, this service finds the way to use the lowest amount of your miles and points for the best flights in business, first or economy. How he does it still fascinates me.
20:30 The site airlines use to find cheap local hotels near the airport.

Take these solid steps as soon as possible to get a handle on your personal data on Facebook. What we know is that only you care enough and have the power to reign in social media platforms from unleashing your life to data harvesters out to manipulate how you live.

- New Facebook security concerns.
- How is Facebook is sharing much more than you think.
- Why you should never look at entertaining online quizzes the same way again.
- The 6 steps you need to take immediately to limit the amount of your personal data being shared by Facebook including:
