Find Cheap Flights to Rome Through Lets-Travel-Rome.com and Travelocity.
As we've said many times in these pages, everybody needs a break, and cheap flights to Rome can help you to reconnect with your spouse and to recharge the soul. But planning a vacation getaway can quickly turn into a stressful project when the subject of expenses comes up. Airfares alone can kill the fantasy. And when you already have to factor in accommodation, food, and shopping, any budget-conscious traveler could just give up and stay home.
Thankfully, there are now more options for cheap flights to Rome that allow quick and fun vacations without having the costly air fares.
So, how does low-cost or cheap air fare work exactly?Simple: Budget air travel gets you to your destination in the shortest time and at the cheapest possible price.The main reason these airlines are able to keep airfare prices low is the no-frills concept.
First, there’s no ticketing office to sustain. All reservations and purchases are transacted online, and we link to Travelocity.com through the pages of Lets-Travel-Rome.com. Through their e-ticketing, tickets can be purchased in real time on the Web, which eliminates the need to employ more people for processing or maintain international offices.
Here’s how you too can get cheap flights to Rome:1. Purchasing your ticket at least 10 days ahead of the scheduled trip will enable you to obtain super low fares.
2. It is best to choose a weekday departure and arrival date for Rome when possible. This is because weekend flights get filled up faster than weekdays and airlines often offer discounts to fill up the weekday flights.
3. It would be better to book as a group of three or more to get even more discounts on fees.
4. Compare notes and consult with friends and colleagues who have recently traveled. And check back with our Weblog for the latest information regularly. You can go straight to the site from here:
Lets-Travel-Rome.Blogspot 5. In order to get the cheap flights to rome, you should be on the lookout for discounted rates on the Travelocity.com site. Most of the cheap airfares are flagged as special offers, and have limited availability. It may be necessary to check in each day for a few days in a row to find the best deals, as all the airlines have shifting demand.
6. It is best to shop around for the cheap flights to Rome first, before you jump on the first deal you see. This is because there are airlines that offer cheap airfares but the quality of service may be reduced. Most airlines with cheap airfares have a lower quality of cabin service and fewer ameneties, but don't allow this to be a barrier, unless you have extended flight times from your departure point.
All of this boils down to the fact that low-cost airlines may help you to extend your vacation and make it more memorable. You just have to shop around to get those deals that offer the cheap airfares, but the quality of service is maintained at an acceptable standard.
Without any doubt, the most flexible and easy to use reservation service is with Travelocity.com, and I fully recommend them.

Lets-Travel-Rome.com/flights-to-rome Travelocity have also updated their advice for airport check-in procedures, ahead of the new season.
With tighter security measures in place this holiday season, it's important to prepare for air travel with good judgment and caution. Start out by examining everything you normally pack in your suitcase. Expect that your bag will be opened for inspection, so evaluate whether an object could be scrutinized by airport security. Pack efficiently, avoid over-packing and make sure that each suitcase has an up-to-date nametag securely affixed to it.
Check-in Procedures • Be sure to have available a government-issued ID (federal, state, or local) and be prepared to show ID at the ticket counter and the boarding gate, with a boarding pass.
• Curbside check-in is available on an airline-by-airline basis, so contact the airline prior to arriving at the airport to see if it's available. E-ticket travelers also need to confirm with their airline to ensure they have all appropriate documentation. • Only ticketed passengers can go beyond security checkpoints. However, exceptions can be made for traveling minors and those needing assistance. • Electronic items (i.e. laptops and cell phones) are subject to additional screening, so be prepared to remove these items to be X-rayed separately.
Baggage Restrictions • Keep in mind that until further notice, passengers are restricted with carry-on bags and to one "personal bag" that could be a purse, laptop or briefcase. Bags may be subject to further screening at the gate.
• Take into account that you can only check two bags. Airlines have started enforcing rules with a hefty price for extra luggage and for bags that are either too big or heavy. Contact your airline because fees and restrictions vary by carrier.
• If you have a medical condition that requires you to carry syringes, be sure to keep your medicine with you as well (a good idea in any case). The medicine must be in its original container with a professionally printed pharmacy label.
Other Check-in Tips • Think about what you wear to the airport. You might be asked to remove your shoes, so try to wear a pair that slips on without laces or straps. It's also common to have to remove hats and belts.
The Lets-Travel-Rome Guide to Business Travel.
Planning your business travel to Rome wisely will free you from lots of trouble. Inadequate airline seats, long lines, heavy traffic, and unavailable hotel rooms are just some of the problems a Rome business traveler might encounter. Despite the emergence of e-commerce, businessmen still travel more often for sales and business shows. Here are some tips to make your business travel a successful one:
1. Plan your Rome business trip long before you leave the office.
2. Always prepare a travel bag with complete necessities to be used on any emergency trips.
3. Consider bringing some ready to eat foods, it will save you a substantial amount of money, considering the high cost of foods in hotels.
4. Be sure to have a buffer time between your flight and your scheduled meeting.
5. Choose an aircraft that has better seats with ample leg room.
6. Put all your valuable materials in a small carry-on bag.
7. When calling your main office, use the 800 numbers as much as possible because it's much cheaper.
8. If you're a businesswoman, it is important to dress well. Additionally, you must bring casual clothes for your free time.
Not all Rome hotels have inexpensive telecommunication systems from their rooms, so always choose your hotel's business floor, for these rooms are made especially for business traveler. These rooms should have dual telephone/modem lines, fax machine, and free communications between rooms. You can search for a suitable hotel using our partners at TripAdvisor, where you can find fellow travellers reviews and ratings.
Lets-Travel-Rome.com/advisor In order to save money on calls, use your calling card and place calls through your country's long-distance carrier or find a pay phone in the hotel's lobby. If available, use a nearby business center for your fax needs since fax service within your room will probably cost more.
These days, a Rome business traveler has to bring a lot of electronic equipment such as; cell phones, electronic organizers, laptop computers, etc. Here are some suggestions on how to keep your expensive business items safe:
1. Put your laptop inside a bag that will not indicate that there's a laptop inside. The same works well for other equipment such as camera, electronic organizer, etc.
2. Don't expose your laptop to x-ray scanners at the airport security check, rather have it checked manually. X-rays could damage your electronic equipment.
3. Don't place your laptop on the aircraft's overhead bins; instead place it near your seat or under the seat in front of you.
4. Always bring extra batteries for your equipment.
Today's Rome business travelers are enjoying much comfort compared to their counterparts a few decades ago. Low airfare, plenty of airlines to choose from, communication equipment (especially cell phones and laptops) make modern day business travelers more efficient. Even on a business trip, parents can always be with their family members and co-workers can still get in touch with their office work, at least virtually.
That's all about Rome business travel for now. In my next article, I'll explain more of my travel tips for your time in Rome.

"TripAdvisor.com is the only place on the web that allows a traveler to benefit from the experience of hundreds of thousands of others to narrow your options to the most popular hotels in a destination then sort by the criteria that are right for an individual traveler.
