How To Get Cheap Flights To Las Vegas

Copyright 2006 Karin Manning

Are you after a cheap flight to Las Vegas?

You can start your budget trip to Vegas by getting the cheapest flights to Las Vegas.

If you are prepared to put in a little effort you can find cheap Las Vegas flight deals. Thankfully the Internet makes that really easy for you.

Lets start scouting the best airfare deals now.

Online Discounters

Look for airfares on http://expedia.com. They have a lot of package deals and get reduced tickets from many large airlines. They are a fast way to see what prices are available, though they wont necessarily have the lowest prices for you. Its a great base to start from.

Here are some more online discounters:

Online Consolidators/Auction

http://www.Hotwire.com and http://www.Priceline.com are great places to get reduced airfare prices, provided you are flexible with the times and days you want to fly to Vegas. You wont get the full details until you have paid. And dont commit until you have found the lowest rates.

Some airlines advertise internet specials so check out airlines that fly to Las Vegas where you are just in case.

Youd be amazed to find out how much airline tickets fluctuate in a 24 hour period. If you see an airfare you are interested during the day, check again after midnight. Chances are that the price is cheaper.

If all else fails here are a few tricks for getting cheap flights to Las Vegas.

Stay overnight on a Saturday. Flights during the week are always dearer because people are assumed to be high rolling business big shots who fly anywhere during the week.

If your city has more than one airport try the smaller airport. Sometimes they can offer cheaper fares

Be flexible about the time of day you want to fly and the exact date. Look an airline deals for the day before and day after your preferred travel date

The dreaded red-eye flight to Las Vegas. Flying overnight can save you a heap of cash. If you dont like the idea of flying to Vegas on a red-eye then fly one home. Chances are youll be so pleasantly exhausted after your fun Vegas vacation that you will enjoy the extra sleep on the plane.

Never accept the first fare quoted. More often than not a less expensive deal will come up within hours of your booking.

Sometimes it may be cheaper to buy two round trip tickets - one for the day you want to leave home and the day you want to leave Vegas - than buying one regular round trip fare.

Book your flight well in advance. Airlines usually sell tickets much less the earlier you book it.

If you book a flight with an airline and subsequently see them advertising cheaper flights call the airline and complain demanding a refund for the difference

What is the best way to get a stand-by seat?

Reserve an economy seat for your flight. Arrive at the airport the day you want to leave and see if you can get a standby ticket (the best standby days are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday). If you can get a standby seat then become a no-show on your economy ticket for a full refund.

Flying In First Class: A Royal Experience!

It's quite an experience flying in the first class. Not everyone can afford to fly in the first class but those who can certainly know how good it is. You are treated like a king. The services in the first class are outstanding and the facilities are superb. The pushback seats offer great comfort and there's also lots of elbow room.

There are some ways by which you can cut the first class airfare and that is by booking early. There are many advantages if you book early, one is that you will get discounted rates and the other is that your seat will be guaranteed. You can also shop to reduce the airfare.

You can get the latest and the best deals on the first class airfare from sites like Orbitz, Expedia and Travelocity. So in case you find a great deal, grab it immediately. This is because the rates change quickly, within minutes. You should not forget to check the websites of individual airlines especially those who do not give their fares on these travel sites. Their rates are listed in their site only. You can subscribe to their mailing list so that you are informed as to when any good deal comes up.

You are given some wonderful and useful gifts if you traveling on first class. These are lip balm, mouth wash moisturizer, cooling gel, hand lotion, body gel and hand gel. You may even get socks.

You are likely to get more in case you are traveling on international flight or on long routes. You will get a privacy divider, completely reclining seats, fresh linen, duvets and eye shades. The quality of food and drinks is also the best. The food is tasty and of supreme quality. The same goes for the drinks. However all this pampering is justifiable because a first class passenger pays 10 to15 times more than the economy class passenger.

You can also travel in the first class and especially if you are a frequent flyer. For this you need to collect the miles and then get a first class ticket in return. There are some airlines which do not charge as much as the major airlines do for the first class. So you can try these airlines. Your business class tickets may be upgraded to first class provided it is not full.

If you can afford you must try to fly in first class because it's a royal and memorable experience. You will be treated like a king and you will certainly relish the services and facilities that are offered.

You can feel the special treatment the moment you check in. There is separate check in counters for first class passengers. The first class passengers are either the first ones to board or the last ones. So it's not shocking that everyone wants to fly in the first class!

How To Gain Web Traffic Through 9 Simple Tips

Driving traffic to your website can be a time consuming task. However, these easy tips may help you increase traffic and convert those visitors into actual customers.

1. Title on your main URL and secondary pages
Originally, my title was ADVANCED SYSTEMS-A Leadership & Organizational Training & Development Firm near Chicago, IL. If I searched for the first two words ADVANCED SYSTEMS using Overture at http://inventory.overture.com I found a little over 4,000 keyword searches. By using this tool, I entered various key words and discovered that the term education and training had over 210,000 searches during the previous month. Research also recommends that the title length not exceed 77 characters and so I continued researching the most effective key words to pair with my first two terms. Also, additional reading suggested that you indicate your location within this title. Even though the completed title may exceed the recommended length, this is OK because the search engines do read beyond 77 characters. Also, as you construct or revise each page, make sure that title has the appropriate key words. Currently, I am doing that for my site because as stated earlier ADVANCED SYSTEMS is not a popular searched term.

2. Content
Both my Internet marketing coach (www.leaders-perspective.com) and my marketing consultant (www.hodgecommunications.com) acknowledged that the content on my site of which I wrote was of exceptional editorial quality. Their praises made me feel very good. However, both told me that the content wouldnt sell an igloo to an Eskimo. This wasnt what I wanted to hear after spending hundreds of hours writing this exceptional content. Currently, I am revisiting each page and rewriting the content using a marketing content focus instead of editorial one. I had failed one of the basic lessons in marketing write to the audience needs by identifying potential benefits not your expertise.

3. Search Words
Again using the mentioned site in tip #1, I began to rewrite the content and then checked key words and phrases to ensure that they were embedded within the content. Writing in Microsoft Word, the writer can go to the Edit button and scroll down to the Find icon. By typing in a specific word or phrase, this handy tool will check to see how many times it appears in the document. A note of caution Be careful not to overload your content with search words because the robots are quite sophisticated and can distinguish this overload.

4. Call to Action
Within the content on each page should be a call to action. The visitor should be encouraged to sign up for a free newsletter or contact your office by phone or email. Also, you can provide links to other pages within your website such as click to hear read more articles.

5. Thematic Approach
Using a theme entices search engines to travel through all the pages within your site. The theme can be your unique selling proposition. Also, a thematic approach encourages your visitors to visit more than one or two pages.

6. Use of Pictures, Graphics and Flash
Pictures are far more effective than clip art. Remember to use a variety of genders and ethnicity because your Internet audience is diverse. Be careful with flash and other time consuming graphics as they may consume too much time to download. Many visitors leave sites if the site doesnt download in a matter of seconds. Time is money not only for you, but your visitors as well.

7. Free Offers
Visitors like to receive free offers from ezine booklets to articles to recommendations on books and other sites. Entice your visitors with freebies and have them coming back for more.

8. Regular Updates
Sites need to be updated on a regular basis to encourage Search Engines to continually visit your site. A static site is not good for web traffic or building relationships with your visitors. Construct a plan to revisit your pages to provide new content for Search Engines. HINT: Remember to check Key Words as you update your pages.

9. Perfection and Under Construction
Since web sites should not be static, perfection is an ongoing experience. Dont wait until the content is perfect. Load it and then watch your statistics. Under construction shouldnt be forever, however prioritize those pages you wish to update first. If you need to add a page, do so and mark it as Under Construction. I currently have several new pages Under Construction and still have yet to revise all my pages. Working using a plan (see tip 8), I anticipate completing the entire site within the next 30 days. And then, revisit at least 2 pages each month to update the content.

These last two months have been an incredible learning experience for me as I continue to work on my site to expand traffic and therefore potential clients. For example, one of the most visible results has been a 300% increase on one of my revised pages (http://www.processspecialist.com/youth.htm). Even though the site is still has pages under construction, I know that following these 9 simple tips will continue to multiply traffic and eventually increase my client base.
