Last minute tips

Posted by Staff in Flying, Tip of the Week

When searching for a last minute airfare deal, consider calling the airlines direct or going to the airlines own website.

Many airlines do not release last minute deals to other websites…..and some deals never make it on the web at all……I know, making phone calls is out of you comfort zone….but remember when the web did not exist?!

Catch me if you can….

Ever wish you could retrace every step of a last trip…..wonder where that great cafe in Paris was……or give directions to that great hiking trail you found? Trackstick is the answer.

The device, which looks like a USB stick on steroids, has a built in GPS tracking system to track every step you take.  Once back at your computer you plug it into your USB port and presto….you see a google map outlining your journey.

The device can also be used for geo-tagging photos.  The included software will marry your photos to the tracking data you download from the device.  This way you can see where you took your photos nicely laid out on a map.

The device runs on two AAA batteries and requires no monthly subscription fees. Tracking and geo-photo tagging software are included with the device.  For more info visit trackstick.com
