Anyone who wants to enjoy a stress-free trip has to start with the basic concern of any traveler - how to effectively handle travel reservations. Below are a number of advice that may help:

- Decide on a travel plan - specific destination, how many days, what activities, routes, and other details. The attention given to this first step will ensure smooth sailing in making the necessary travel arrangements.

How about booking your airline tickets? Below are some airline reservation tips you can use:

- If notification of your reservation is done by e-mail, make sure that the ticket price quoted is the same. Sometimes, some airlines claim the airfare booked earlier is no long available.

- If booking on online, use a reservation site where ticket prices for all airlines are shown so a comparison can be readily seen.

- If booking for more than one person, check also the ticket price for both a single passenger and multiple passengers.
