discount travel reservationsEven the most seasoned traveller may find him or herself take aback by the new, stricter regulations regarding Americans' international travel. By January of next year, American travellers are required to use a passport, even when travelling to Mexico or Canada or the Caribbean. So plan your flight reservations carefully to ensure that you have all your paperwork in order before embarking on any foreign trips, no matter how benign your destination. Even travel to Spain requires the same level of care with your passport and other paperwork as a dangerous destination, so it's great to have discount hotel reservations or discount airline ticket reservations, but it's even better to have a valid passport. Don't delay. Because of all the new applications, it currently takes around 13 weeks to obtain a passport after you send for it. Don't waste your cruise reservations because you neglected the paperwork.
