 | From Kim Knox Beckius, your About Travel Editor Greetings, Travelers! My daughter, who often goes on the road with me, has chosen a Halloween costume that is both travel-oriented and trendy. She wants to be the Zombie Statue of Liberty! While I'm spraying fake blood on her green robe, enjoy these treats and tricks from our Travel Experts. ~Kim | |
The Best Travel Tricks No One Ever Tells You
Most lists of travel tips feature obvious advice, like: Stash your passport in your hotel room safe. But these secrets... divulged by professional, globe-trotting travel writers... are truly tricks of the trade. Learn how to snag a Premium Economy seat for nothing, how to put the kibosh on intestinal bugs and what kind of candy is also the most effective motion-sickness medication out there.
| A Spa Where You Can Indulge All Day for $100
A two-hour treatment at one of Shanghai, China's five-star hotels will easily set you back $100 USD. But China Travel Expert Sara Naumann lets you in on her secret: At Xiao Nan Guo, spending $100 would take you all day! And... you can eat dim sum, have your ear wax removed and enjoy a foot massage--all at the same time. Of course, you'll have to wear a muumuu (or tropical-print shorts and shirt if you're a guy), but it's a small sacrifice for feeling fabulous at a bargain price.

Wine tasting, shopping, mineral-water baths, nude beaches, wild parties: You can't tell your mom these are your motivations for visiting Greece. So... Greece Travel Expert deTraci Regula will help you play up the historic aspects of some of Greece's best places for self-indulgence.
| Enjoy Free Health Care on Your UK Vacation?
Want to see Big Ben and have an appendectomy (or appendicectomy, as the Brits call it) free? It's true: If you have an accident or need emergency medical treatment while vacationing in the UK, you will receive that treatment free of charge, regardless of your nationality or place of residence. But before you use this "trick," you should understand the rules that discourage medical tourism and make having your own insurance a must.More Travel Tricks and Treats Below
