Love this information and explanation from Scott's Cheap Flights: (I also get this question a lot)

"How many times have you heard this claim? “Book your flights on Tuesday at 1pm because that’s when they’re cheapest.”

If I achieve one thing in my brief stint on Earth, it will be to convince travelers to stop believing this nonsense. It’s not true, it won’t help you get cheap flights, and if anything will likely result in you overpaying for your next trip.

Here’s what you need to know:
🕵️ It used to be true
Unlike many myths, this one has the benefit of having once been true. (Perhaps that helps explain its staying power?)

It first became possible to purchase airfare online decades ago. At that time, most airlines would update their fares once a week at a predetermined time—in many cases, Tuesday at 1pm. The cheapest fares often had just a handful of seats available, so if you searched Tuesday at 1pm you really could find a great deal.

The problem: this isn’t how it’s worked for a long time.

Airfare doesn’t change weekly these days. It changes daily, hourly, sometimes even minute-ly. In 2000, airfare was stable; today, it’s extremely volatile.
📅 No predictably cheapest time to book
What if I asked you: what time next week will Bitcoin be worth the most? You, rightfully, would look at me cock-eyed. The answer is not just unknown; it’s unknowable.

So, too, is it with airfare.

Neither I nor anyone else can tell you with certainty when (or where) next week’s cheapest fares will pop up.

These days, airfare is set by complex algorithms that account for hundreds of ever-shifting factors, from consumer demand to oil prices to competitor’s prices and beyond. One factor airlines no longer rely on: technological constraints that only allowed them to change fares once a week at a set time."

Switzerland Update from one of our partners below!

(P.S. If COVID regulations weren't a thing - where would you go?!)

"We are delighted to inform you that as of tomorrow, February 17th, 2022, most Covid related measures within Switzerland will be lifted thanks to the sharp decline of Covid-19 cases in Switzerland.
The following mandates are no longer in place:

• Mask wearing in shops, restaurants, as well as other public settings is no longer mandatory. Exception: On public transport and hospitals

• No more access restrictions regulated by electronic COVID certificates to facilities such as cinemas, theatres, restaurants, and events. Guests from the U.S. and Canada are therefore no longer required to apply for a Swiss COVID certificate.

• Passenger Locator Form (PLF) will no longer be required when entering Switzerland.

• No Covid tests are required when entering Switzerland.
However, please note that guests from both the U.S. and Canada must be fully vaccinated to be allowed entry to Switzerland. It is not possible to enter Switzerland if not vaccinated or based on a recovered status.

To be considered fully vaccinated, you must have received your vaccine (booster or second shot) within 270 days of arrival in Switzerland.

We would also like to remind you of the Swiss government’s handy travelcheck.admin.ch website, where you quickly can check the up-to-date entry regulations when traveling to Switzerland. "

11/02/2021

Were you or someone you know affected by the massive number of cancelled flights by American Airlines last weekend? See what they had to say about it below:

"𝗪𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁

Late last week, DFW experienced two days with wind gusts of up to 50 mph, creating crosswind limitations that reduced arrival capacity by more than half. As a result, several runways were closed, which drove a large number of cancellations at our largest hub.

With additional weather throughout the system, our staffing becomes limited as crew members’ regular flight schedules are disrupted.

𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲

To ensure we’re taking care of our customers and providing scheduling certainty for our crews, we adjusted our operation by proactively canceling some flights to minimize any inconvenience as much as possible. Most of the customers impacted by these changes are being rebooked the same day.

We anticipate this period of irregular operations will be brief, with considerable improvement beginning today, and we will continue to staff up across our entire operation.

Nearly 1,800 flight attendants are returning from leave starting today, and the remainder of those who are on leave are coming back by December 1; we’ll also have 600+ new flight attendants on staff by end of December.

Additionally, we anticipate 4,000 new team members will join us across the system in the fourth quarter. American is continuing to hire additional pilots and team members in Technical Operations, which includes our maintenance team, and we’ve hired hundreds of Reservations agents over the last several months – so more team members are in place as we head into the holiday season.

Some of our customers have asked if the impact on our schedule is due to employment changes over the vaccine mandate or other circumstances beyond weather and the resulting changes to crew schedules. The vast majority of our team is already vaccinated, and you can rest assured our team is eager to take care of you and your travelers. We believe this weekend’s cancellations are isolated and expect to see considerable improvement today and onward."

If you need to renew your TSA precheck, now's a great time!

(The reduced rate only applies to online renewals, not first time applicants. BUT I highly recommend this program no matter if you're renewing or a first timer!)

As a growing number of travelers head back to airports, those shorter TSA PreCheck security lines are sounding pretty good right about now.

We finally have some more details on this much anticipated hotel experience at Disney World!

Opening Day will be March 1, 2022 and they will start taking bookings on October 28, 2021 (this month)!

For this hotel, there is a 2 night minimum AND maximum...so you can only stay for 2 nights and you must stay for 2 nights.

This hotel is completely "immersive" - therefore, if you plan to stay and enjoy the rest of WDW after this hotel, you'll want a plan for where and how long to stay after the Starcruiser.

I can help put together the perfect Disney itinerary for you and your family!

A lot of people are understandably wanting to keep their travels a bit more private and secluded.

While I do not work with AirBnB, I have tons of vetted and reputable partners with private homes that are perfect for family reunions, girls trip, bachelor/bachelorette trips, and so much more!

This type of trip gives you privacy but also allows your whole family or group to stay together which is so fun!

If you could choose any destination for this type of trip, where would you go?

Villas pictured are in:

-Cabo
-Joshua Tree
-Branson
-Park City, Utah

Some of these come in right around the price you'd pay for a hotel, but you get all the perks of staying in a home!

Reach out and let's talk about what trip this kind of accommodation would be perfect for!

I’ll tag her photography page in the comments. Reach out to her or me if interested in the trip! ✈️🔥
