Travelling

I heard on the radio the other day that the price of airline tickets and travel would increase as the price of fuel went up. The theory is that people would decrease their travel because of rising cost. I am not sure where we are going with air travel but I suspect it will not decrease because of cost, maybe it will decrease because of hassles at airports.  I travelled to Australia in 2006 with my wife and it cost us over $3,800 for our tickets but when we were travelling in 2015 it cost us less than $2,200. We are travelling at the same time of year, so the cost of air travel has not gone up but has gone down over time.

I talked about this before but I would highly recommend Flight Centers to everyone who is travelling by air. I found great sites online and great prices and they matched or beat the price I found online when I visited their centre.

When we went to get travel cancellation insurance Sears Travel quoted $196.00 yet Flight Center for the same coverage quoted $105.00, which is a big difference in price.  Expedia.ca is a great site as is Hipmunk for finding cheap flights and other deals and I have used both. Travel is exciting and we hope to continue to travel over the next few years.  What is your favorite online travel website?
