Travel Expert - Peter Greenberg’s New Book- Tough Times, Great Travels

With airlines cutting service and one of the most unstable economies this country has seen, the thought of taking a trip might seem out of reach. But, when the going gets tough, the smart people travel-if they know how.



In TOUGH TIMES, GREAT TRAVELS (March 3; Paperback; $9.95), New York Times best-selling author Peter Greenberg shares secrets on where to look for a bargain, when to buy, and how to negotiate a deal during an economic meltdown-plus:

• The best day, time and Web sites to purchase airline tickets

• Car rental companies almost willing to pay customers to rent cars

• The best hour on the best day to book a hotel room

• Which cruise ships quietly discount cabins three days before departure

• How to redeem airline miles for every flight-even those that are supposedly full

• Free activities in more than 30 cities, and trips that you can take on just one tank of gas



Traveling during an economic meltdown shouldn't result in a personal one as well. The Travel Detective's book gives people the tools they need to get packing when the market is crashing, so you can get the best travel deals during the worst of financial times.
