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!)

Use Grocery Stores
Every meal does not need to be eaten at a restaurant. It can be great fun to find a grocery store and buy something from the deli and take it to a nearby park.
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.

So be sure to check out third-party hotel booking agents for more competitive room rates!
Airlines may also offer travel packages (air tickets and accommodation). However, it is best to check the hotels and do a little research. This is because booking the air tickets and accommodation separately may actually save you some previous money. All it takes is a little of your time.
Cheap Travel Tip 2 – Picking The Right Season
Consider traveling during the off-season. The hotels that are overbooked and expensive in the high season are often available at really attractive prices once the high season is over. Off-season travel also offers the advantage of smaller crowds and a more relaxed atmosphere.
Cheap Travel Tip 3 – Group Travel
Many airlines and hotels offer discounts to groups. So if you are traveling with your friends and family, you may be able to save some money.
Cheap Travel Tip 4 – Last-minute Travel
If you have flexible employment, you should take advantage of some fantastic last-minute deals. Cruise lines, airlines and hotels often offer discounts to avoid the expense and lost revenue of an empty cabin, airline seat or hotel bed.
Cheap Travel Tip 5 – Package Travel Deals
For many destinations, especially exotic locations, airfare tends to be expensive. So package travel deals can be significantly less expensive than making your own arrangements. Many travelers also like the safety and security of traveling with a group.
Opting for cheap travels doesn’t mean that you have to sacrifice fun, excitement and adventure. There are many opportunities waiting for budget travelers who are willing to put in the time and effort to seek them out.
You can learn how to travel smart, avoid getting scammed, and what to do when things go wrong. Don’t you think its time you learn how to save hundreds, perhaps even thousands, on your next trip or vacation? It’s up to you to make your cheap travel or budget travels happen.

Cheap Air Travel Tips
The era of airline travel has allowed us to travel the world and connect in ways that have never existed before. We can visit family overseas and travel anywhere in the world within 24 hours. Isn’t that amazing?
With all this ability to travel, we are also faced with the expense of such travel.
For the many who would like to find cheap air travel, we’ve put together the following tips.
The first thing you need to know is that you never need to pay ‘list price’. Airlines have many tiers of pricing, and the same seat can sell for prices differing in the hundreds of dollars, depending on where, when and how it is purchased.
Ask the Professionals: Your first step would be to ask your travel agent for advice on when to purchase airline tickets. He or she will be able to give you some guidance as to which airlines offer discounts and when. For instance, some airlines offer ‘earlybird’ pricing, and some also drop their prices as the trip date gets closer if no one has purchased the seat.
Get a Promotion: If a scheduled flight is full to capacity or overbooked, some airlines will offer complimentary upgrades in seat class to selected passengers. Although this is less common than it used to be, it still happens occasionally. Your best shot at being selected for such an upgrade is to arrive for your flight dressed in a clean-cut, professional manner, and to be polite. You can even try asking at the check-in counter if there is any chance you can get an upgrade – they may offer it to you if such a perk is available, or may offer it at a lesser price than you would have paid when booking. Success will depend on many factors, such as the mood and authority level of the ticket attendant and the way you ask for it. Note that they may also need to move passengers around for weight-and-balance purposes and can offer a better seat to assist in this process – you never get anything if you don’t at least ask!
Also, you can sometimes get a free or discounted flight by being on an ‘overbooked’ flight and being willing to wait until the next one can be arranged for you, but this is not something you have any control over.
Flexibility: Are you flexible in your travel times or dates? By going ’standby’ on an airline, you can hang out and wait until a seat becomes free or someone cancels, and can often get cheaper last-minute tickets.
‘Pre-owned’ Tickets: For an array of reasons, people buy tickets and their plans change. When those tickets are non-refundable, they may try and sell them to receive at least some of their money back. This is good news for you, as you can take advantage of some discounted prices (remember, if they don’t sell their tickets they get nothing, so anything they can recover is of help to them). On-sale airline tickets can be found many places.
