Tales of a perfect Saturday morning in New York

Tales of a perfect Saturday morning in New York • Being the gorgeous day that I woke up to this morning, I decided to explore and walk for my breakfast. Thank to the advice of, at this stage famous, local friend and colleague Frances, I end up having a true New York morning experience. She calls me and says what are you doing ? while I was about to take the firs bite of my egg and cheese Panini. I replied.. well I am having breakfast. Well finish that jump on the subway and meet me at the front desk of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, there is a brand new exhibition on The World of Khubilai Khan: Chinese Art in the Yuan Dynasty. Imagine my face and reaction when at that point I was trying to wake up and sip through the morning with my large skim latte… after having gone out last night with my other longtime local friend Alejandro to the gay club Boxers

Book your flights in advance next time

Book in Advance next time • Follow your Travel Agent’s advice and next time you plan to fly Domestic of International, book in advance. This is a screen shot of a very interesting documental that CNBC did on the Airlines business and how this affects passengers and Travel Agents. Above is an example of what airlines call REVENUE MANAGEMENT and BUCKETS (same system applies for many hotels). Depending on the time, season and how in advance you book or purchase your ticket the final fare that you will end up paying. For the same AA flight 2412 passengers seating in the same cabin with exactly the same service paid from USD 50 up to over USD 700. So do not be shocked next time you ask the person seating next to you on the plane, how much they paid for their ticket. Book in advance, plan wisely and save money. We travel agents know how to do that so trust us. CM
