Courtesy Evergreen International Aviation www.evergreenaviation.com The Evergreen Supertanker showed impressive results during the US Forest Service administered grid tests earlier this year. From high, medium and low coverage levels, the Supertanker showed it provides quality, consistent retardant line construction. The cutting-edge aircraft proved it belongs on the front line, from the onset, to fight wildfire day and night. The uniformed pattern of the Supertanker drops, and its ability, in a single flight, for split loads at multiple coverage levels, gives agencies an incredibly versatile firefighting tool. The multi-role B747 Supertanker is the largest tanker aircraft available today. With a payload of more than 20000 gallons and a response time of 600 mph, it has more than eight times the drop capability and twice the speed of any other federal air tanker currently fighting fires. The Supertankers patented pressurized system has the capability to disperse product at high pressure for an overwhelming response, or disperse at the speed of falling rain in a single or several segmented drops. This pressurized system will also allow for drops at higher altitudes, creating a significant safety buffer and enabling the Supertanker to fight fires during the day and at night, when they are most vulnerable. It also offers a significant value for American taxpayers; saving homes, natural resources, and most importantly, lives. When employed properly, the Supertanker has the …

You should be flexible with dates when flying.  If you are not flexible, you will not be able to find cheap flight tickets. Even the difference of a day can mean the difference of hundreds of dollars. Always fly on weekdays as most of the people travel during weekends when airlines hike their prices. Even if you fly in holiday season, you have to pay more.  You can buy cheap airline tickets either early morning or late nights. During these times, flight tickets will be cheaper. If you’re flexible with your plan you will get cheap flight tickets. Do remember to book tickets in mid weeks instead of weekends as prices drop during mid week.

Always use secondary airports while flying.

Secondary airports are away from the city and are smaller. Small carriers always use such airports to reduce operational costs. Cheaper costs mean cheaper tickets. You will not find cheap carriers in United States. You will find various small carriers in Europe and Asia. Smaller carriers that operate from secondary airports don’t provide any perks. You are only buying sitting space in the airline. You will not get any amenities like food, drink or peanuts. If you are staying in a place with secondary airport, consider flying on one of these discount carriers for a cheaper ticket.

Fly through connecting flights instead of a direct one. It is cheaper to go to Madrid and then take a cheap flight to Rome than flying directly into Rome. Direct flights always cost more. It would be better to take a flight from one place to a connecting route and from there take another flight to your desired destination. In such a case, you will be able to save money. Doing this is not easy and requires a bit of research.

A student can avail discounts. You can find flexible student airline tickets, discount cards, cheaper train tickets and much more. If you are a student you have to carry a student ID. 

Stay informed of all the recent flight promotions and deals by signing up to a few airline or industry newsletters. Often these newsletters are the only way to hear about these deals. It takes only a few clicks and you can delete the newsletters when you aren’t interested in flying.  If you’re planning for round world tickets find out whether it is worth the cost.

Airline reward programs are a great way to get free flights, free upgrades and free companion tickets. If you aren’t a frequent flier, it will take a long time to get points but if you are a frequent flier, you should sign up for a rewards program so you can get freebies.

America is one of the few countries where the typical workers vacation days are often left unused. CNN reported that in 2011, the average American received 14 vacation days but only used 12 of them. Most cited economic factors as their motivation for staying at work. But as we move into January 2012, CheapSally.com expects Americans to travel more, taking advantage of the increase in travel deals offered by major websites and their increased supply of time off.

With the economy still struggling, one of the more important travel trends this year is the consumers choice to stay closer to home. With a record number of unused vacation days, there will be an expected increase in choosing weekend getaway options. Weekend travel doesnt involve as much advanced planning since consumers can drive, fly close-by, or simply spend the weekend at a luxury hotel.

Dylan Whitman, Directory of Strategy at Cheap Sally, a popular travel deal aggregator website, says that the online deal market should have some of their best ever online sales in 2012. People have come to expect savings on their vacations and travel and are hesitant to book without them. The online deal sites are getting more and more competitive with their offers, which mean better savings for consumers.

The majority of consumers traveling over weekends are seeking to spend more time with their loved ones. CheapSally.com is being proactive in 2012 by offering families the opportunity to spend time together and travel affordably, says Whitman. We want 2012 to not only be the year of the weekend getaway but also be the year of the family.

All of these factors indicate that January 2012 may have a record number of weekend vacationers. Statistics in travel trends show that those looking to score the best deals should look for airfare sales between Tuesday and Thursday, and look to book at off-peak hours of the day. Consumers should also take advantage of the increased number of offerings from travel and deal sites such as CheapSally.com. These sites, and the option to only use one or two vacation days but still get a break, mean that in 2012 weekend getaways are something everyone can enjoy.

More about CheapSally.com:

CheapSally.com is an online promo coupon site that shares coupons and deals for over 11,000 retailers. And provide customers an average savings of 15%. The website was founded in San Diego in November 2010 by Flank Digital. For more information please visit Cheap Sally on Facebook and Twitter
