*tip{ BEWARE OF HIDDEN FEES. EXPECT TO PAY EXTRA FOR OVERSIZE OR HEAVY LUGGAGE (,'-PLUS POUNDS), AND MORE THAN
ONE CHECKED BAG (SOME AIRLINES EVEN MAKE YOU PAY FOR YOUR FIRST CHECKED BAG). Other amenities that used to be
free—food, soda, juice and even water; aisle and bulkhead seats; supervision for children flying unaccompanied by
an adult; and pet carriage—can quickly add up. To see how much flying will cost you, go to kayak.com/airline-fees.

Car Rental
Caution
Airport-based counters
may charge up to 10%
more than city outlets.
So if your hotel provides
shuttle service from the
airport, take it—and
rent the vehicle in town.
Also compare daily versus weekly rates. While
it seems counterintui-tive, it may actually cost
less to book a car for a
full week rather than
the four days you need
it (then return the car
early). Don’t forget to ask
your hotel if it charges
a daily parking fee.

Train: Amtrak
Riding Amtrak can often
be cheaper than flying,
especially for those traveling along the East
Coast. The Amtrak Adirondack heads from
New York City to Montreal, starting at $62 per
adult (kids, 2 to 15, travel
for about half the price
of an adult) and $186 for
a family of four one way,
versus an average airfare
of $400 per person. Amtrak also offers discounts
for military, senior citizens, students and AAA
members. M
