My Special Skill

I'm pretty proud of myself. If I had to name my one superpower it would be discount travel planning, and my most recent find is quite impressive. I've always had the knack of finding great bargains: the grand opening of a Venetian hotel for Carole & her friends, discount Swiss rail tickets online or dirt cheap European flights (did you know you can travel from Spain to England for $10?) People have asked me how I do it, and I have to admit, most of my talent is just the willingness to put in hours of research. When Carole asked me to find her a flight from Halifax to Adana, Turkey, it took about six hours (Mom timed me) for me to finally be able to list three great options. If you were to try to buy a ticket on Expedia or TravelCuts, the price would be $2,865 one way (yikes!) I have found her three options on the same days each for under $1,000 CAD including all taxes. And whether she bought through Expedia or the budget airlines I suggest, she'll have three flights and the same amount of travel time. The only possible downside would be the luggage restrictions, but you can do a lot of shipping for the extra $1,865!
