Now you can go anywhere you want...
Sure
sounds like a dream doesn't it? Hopping onto a plane and taking a
flight to the destination of your choice. Imagine collecting your flight
tickets to New York, London, Goa - or wherever takes your fancy - and
not having to pay a cent for them.
For a
few people, this dream is actually a reality. How? Simply put, they have
discovered a little travel secret - namely that a lot of companies will
actually pay the travel expenses for you to oversee their package or
documents from one country to another.
Now this may bring to
mind images of having to smuggle a microfilm past some dodgy Russian
customs agent ala James Bond, but the reality is nowhere near as
exciting or dangerous - which is great news for the budget traveller.
The even better news is that with a little know how, any adult can act
as a courier and score free and deeply discounted flight tickets to the
destination of their choice.
It's completely legal and can save you
thousands in airfare every year. Courier companies are continually on
the lookout for willing travellers to carry their items overseas. There
is nothing sinister about it, and nothing is hidden from the authorities
- the traveller is paid with a deeply discounted (oftentimes free) air
ticket.
According to a survey by the Air Courier Association, the standard
savings that travellers get when they act as a courier is 85% off the
normal flight price. There isn't a travel agent in the world that will
match such a discount, trust me.
So what
are your responsibilities as a courier? Well it's as simple as turning
up to the airport on time and meeting the courier company's
representative at the destination airport. As soon as you walk through
the customs area at your destination, your job is over.
What are the drawbacks of this
deeply discounted travel? Well, for a start, you're probably are only
going to be allowed one carry on bag as your luggage - so learning how
to travel light and pack efficiently is essential. It's also important
to have some degree of flexibility in terms of when you're able to fly,
though usually you can get many flights comfortably in advance. You also
need to be at least 18 and obviously have a valid passport.
Assuming you're ok with these
drawbacks, you can really fly to just about any destination at
incredibly low costs. You can learn more about how to be a courier at www.global-ebooks.com/TravelFree.htm, or if you are looking for more budget travel tips check out www.my-online-powerpack.com/traveldiscount.htm. Ready to go now? The whole world awaits you!
