Cracking the code of cheap, but luxurious travel with "On the Fly" seminars

 Empowering travelers and corporations with the tools to save thousands of dollars

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Travel has become a complex and heavy burden for most people, and for many frequent fliers it’s almost a high science. However, once you’ve grasped that science, you could save hundreds of dollars – that’s just on one ticket – but travel in luxury and enjoy top elite perks. That’s just what Nicholas Kralev, a former Washington Times diplomatic correspondent and business travel columnist, teaches people to do in his “On the Fly” seminars coming to Birmingham on Tuesday, August 17. The seminar is from 5:30 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. and will be held at the Hampton Inn & Suites in Birmingham, located at 3930 Grants Mill Road.
 
“Our seminars are the first of their kind in the world,” says Kralev. “We offer a practical, hands-on curriculum designed to help travelers master the unique combination of paying the lowest available fares - and saving hundreds of dollars per ticket. Participants will learn to fly in luxury without paying a luxurious price. Here at “On the Fly,” smart travel is our passion.”
 
By the completion of the seminar, participants will learn the following:
  • Recognition of immediate cost savings – save as much as hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars per ticket.
  • Access to exclusive airline inventories – find flights that you can’t get access to on Travelocity, Expedia, etc.
  • Learn to use fare basis codes as a tool to save money – Change your outbound or return flights and save when dealing with travel agents and airline employees.
  • Gain understanding of standard operating procedures for reservation agents – Reservation agents do not always have your best financial interestsat heart.
  • How to save money in changing your outbound or return flights – Learn the tricks of the trade when dealing with travel agents and airline employees.
The “On the Fly” Seminars were created by renowned travel expert and columnist Nicholas Kralev who has an extensive expertise in the airline industry and frequent-flier programs and has flown almost 2 million miles and visited more than 80 countries.
