Budget Travel Tips

Are you travelling soon for Christmas, New Year's Eve or American Thanksgiving? If you're budget-challenged, the good news is there are deals out there.

Zagat's 2009 U.S. Hotels, Resorts & Spas survey suggests these Tips for Budget Travel:

* "Ask and You Shall Receive: With the demand for travel slowing down, smart consumers can negotiate for special rates and deals, particularly at off-peak times."

* "Work the Web: The best bargains often reside online via sites such as Expedia, Priceline and Travelocity, particularly for last-minute lodging. Sign up for automatic e-mail updates."

*"Hide-and-Seek Costs: Special fees and extra charges can run up your room charge. Ask in advance about such fees. Never use the hotel phone, unless you like giving money away!"
