There are many perfectly legal ways to get great bargains on air travel by taking advantage of the airlines' own rules and regulations.

By using a little creativity, substantial savings are easy to achieve. The big problem, however, is finding out about these special fares and money-saving situations. The airlines won’t tell you. Your travel agent, although well intentioned, usually can't spend the time and often doesn’t have the information available to search out the best fares for you. Yet, there are tons of ways to fly for free or at substantial savings.
