Description: Americans now travel more than ever before. Yet as our traveling has increased, the service we receive from airlines, hotels, and other agencies has deteriorated dramatically. Industry surveys reveal growing dissatisfaction among travelers of every age, income, and education level. We've been abused by the travel experience. Peter Greenberg is here to help. The Travel Detective tells you the things your travel agent can't -- or won't. In his characteristic friendly and conversational tone. Greenberg gives us tips on how to find the secret walkup fares that can save air travelers hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on last-minute flights; which coach seats on which planes are better than first class; how to evoke "rule 240" when bumped from a flight (and never be bumped again); which cruise-ship brochures are misleading; which credit card companies are fastest -- and slowest -- to come to your aid in a foreign land; which hotels have the best -- and the worst -- safety records, and how you can protect yourself; how to negotiate the best hotel-room deal; which hotels have the worst water pressure (and how you can get great water pressure, even there): and much, much more. Accessible and entertaining, The Travel Detective gives you the information and tools you need to make every trip an affordable pleasure.
