Passage 2
In a survey conducted by research firm Harris Interactive,71% of Americans said that spendingextra money on travel during the holiday season is worthwhile--so long as it affords them time withfamily and friends. But just because traveling may be the fight thing to do, that doesn′t mean it hasto be the expensive thing to do. Traveling involves many hidden costs that, once you′re aware ofthem, are easy to spot--and even easier to eliminate.
To start, consider transportation fees. For example, if you′re driving, fill up the gas tank beforetraveling on the highway, where it′s much costlier, says Clarky Davis, a personal finance expert.
And make sure your car is in good condition by checking your heating vents, keeping up withroutine maintenance and ensuring your tires are properly inflated, all of which help the car achievefavorable fuel economy. Furthermore, not only does a tow car (救援车) cause inconvenience; it alsomeans extra costs. "
For those opting to fly, first, be aware of how much it costs to check a bag. Most airlines arecharging for every checked bag by weight, but prices vary from carrier to cartier. If you can manageto pack everything into a carry-on, you′ll save at least $15. Brooke Ferencsik, a travel expert,suggests considering secondary airports when booking your flight. These airports often are lesscrowded and frequently offer cheaper tickets.
And when it comes to your actual destination, don′ t assume that hotels are going to cut back onfees simply because they′re desperate to draw customers. "They won′t be adding or increasing fees,but they won′t be decreasing them either," says Ferencsik. The best defense against extra fees is toread about the hotel′s rates online, before you make a reservation."Be aware of surcharges foreverything from housekeeping to groundskeeping to use of the in-room safe," says Ferenesik. Somehotels even install a sensor within the mini bar, charging guests for simply touching the items, letalone eating or drinking them.
"From airlines to hotels to rental cars, they′ve all got hidden fees you need to be aware of,"says Ferencsik. "Do your homework and ask questions."
