Link format changed for Airfare deals
First of all I would like to wish you and your family a Happy ThanksGiving week.
In the occasion of this festival season we are trying our best to improve our affiliate program to boost your affiliate commission every month. We have made some changes in the Text link format only for Airfare deals section. And the details are below:
Changes: We are going to change the link format from HTML to JavaScript only for travel deal links. The reason to make this change is to provide the best Airfare for your customers. Every day our fare gets changes as per the deals we have with the Airlines and price gets changed in our website accordingly. If you use HTML form of the deal text link you need to update the link from CJ on regular basis to show the updated price for the deal on your website. To avoid this we are updating our deal text links to JavaScript so that all the updates will be automated on your website once we update the link in our backend. You DO NOT have to update the deals manually every time.
Please note that this link format change is only applicable for deals. Rest of the links will be the same as before.
If you are promoting Vayama Airfaredeal links on your website then what you have to do is to login to your Commission Junction interface and copy the new Vayama deals links in JavaScript and replace it with your old HTML link on your website. This is a onetime process, in the future the deals will get updated on your website as soon as we upload the new price for the deal.
If you have any clarifications on this please feel free to contact me and I will be happy to assist you.

FIFA fever with Vayama
Discounted Airline Tickets to Johannesburg for the South Africa Football World Cup
Q: Did those extra seats to Johannesburg on South African Airways for the World Cup become available?
By Florin R. Ferrs (Frugal frequent flyer & international airfare expert).
I am glad to announce that yes; South African Airways is releasing more and more economy seats for travel in June. The discounted airfare from the USA to Johannesburg for the FIFA World Cup dates are also far lower than they were last year. Check out vayama’s airfare deals on South African Airways today.
I already saw a deal on Vayama from $1049 total from Washington to Johannesburg. More seats will become available through the winter and spring so keep checking vayama to find the best deals to South Africa for the World Cup. Goooooool!
Here is the original question and reply from last year.
Q: How do we get discounted airline tickets to Johannesburg for the South Africa Football World Cup next June?
Unfortunately, FIFA dictates who they can sell their tickets and there are only 3 large consolidators appointed in the USA by FIFA – who can sell the entire world cup package (Including hotels plus Air etc).
The discounted airline tickets to Johannesburg for next June are currently blocked by the airlines to fulfill the package deals given out through the FIFA appointed agents.
However vayama.com expects to get last minute deals when the appointed agents return some blocked seats, if they are unable to sell everything by the ticketing deadline – that will be sometime next year, aprox 3 to 4 months before the June kickoff . So keep checking this space and the vayama.com website for news of cheap Johannesburg Tickets closer to June.

Pet Airline Travel Tips
There are many standard rules and regulations that you’ll need to follow, regardless of the airline you and your pet are going to fly. If you are going to travel with your pet, you should adhere to the following steps.
1. Make sure your pet is healthy. Pets must be in good health in order to travel by air. Although not all airlines require you to produce a health certificate, many states and countries may require that you carry one. Take your animal to the vet for a check-up within 30 days of traveling to ensure that you have the appropriate documentation. Remember that all airlines reserve the right to refuse travel to an animal if it appears to be ill, aggressive or violent, or in obvious distress, so make sure that your pet is fit for the journey before you arrive at the airport.
2. Find an airlines that will accommodate your pet. Not all airlines will allow animals on board the plane and/or in the cabin. Check to make sure that your specific animal is allowed on board before booking a ticket.
3. Determine your itinerary. Look into which flights will work with your schedule, but don’t book them yet. You’ll need to ensure that there is space on board for your pet before you book the trip. Otherwise Fluffy will be staying behind.
4. Call the airline to make a reservation for your animal. Once you decide on the flight you’re going to take, call the airline to make a reservation for your pet. All airlines limit the number of animals they allow in each cabin and reservations are made on a first-come, first-served basis. Typically it’s restricted one to two animals in the first class cabin and three to six in the economy cabin. You shouldn’t run into a problem, but it’s important to check before you commit to a flight, especially at peak travel times like Thanksgiving and Christmas.
5. Book your flight. Now that your pet has a reservation confirmed (or you at least know there’s space), it’s time to book your flight. If you’ve already booked your flight and haven’t confirmed your pet, now is the time to call the airline and make that reservation for Fido.
6. Purchase a pet carrier. If you do not already have a pet carrier that conforms to your airline’s size requirements, you’ve got to purchase one. Many airlines sell pet carriers at the airport, but you shouldn’t rely on these being in stock. Check the size regulations your airline enforces and head to the pet store. Your pet must be able to fit “comfortably” in his carrier, which means that he can stand up, lay down and turn around. The carrier should also be leak-proof.
Additionally, here are a few tips to make your flight with you pet a pleasant one:
• Make sure you have the right carrier that appeals to your pet’s comfort and your taste. (remember not to embarrass your pet)
• Place a familiar blanket and/or soft toy in the pet carrier for extra comfort
• Make sure that you allow extra time at the airport to take your pet outside for a rest-stop just before proceeding to the gate
• If your pet gets anxious when traveling, check with your veterinarian for advice
• Bring a leash but do not leave it on your pet when in carrier
• Do not feed your pet the of travel to avoid motion sickness
• If your pet has short fur, make sure that your pet is wearing clothing since aircraft floor can be drafty
• Have small treats available for a light snack en route (very limited amount)
• Make sure you have napkins and a plastic bag in the event of an in-flight mishap (dispose of in lavatory)
• Be discreet since you will not be allowed to remove pet from its carrier to meet-and-greet its many airport fans (people just love pets on planes!)

Bring Along Entertainment
Many people spend their time on vacation jumping from one attraction to another with no time in between. Why not bring along a book or camera and spend a day or two relaxing?
Save Extra Food
If you receive extra food on an airplane or with a meal, bring it with you so that you have a snack available and do not have to purchase one.
Go Camping
Road trips can really add up when you are staying in a hotel every night. Why not bring along a tent and spend some of the nights camping. You can alternate nights between a hotel and tent in order to avoid feeling grungy.
Plan Your Trips During Off-Times
Cheap travel tips can include staying at quality, premium places. This can be achieved through finding the times that are considered off-season and planning your trip during that time. Most hotels and attractions have times of the year when they fill up and can demand higher prices, but also times of the year when they do not get a lot of visitors and are willing to offer great deals to allure guests.
Don't Be Afraid To Request Forgotten Items
If you forget a toothbrush or razor do not hesitate to call the front desk if you are staying at a hotel and asking for one. Most hotels have extras like this available and it saves you the money of purchasing one.
Follow these ten cheap travel tips to make your vacation cost effective and stress-free.
