Travelosity Do not pay upfront the total cost of fligt, hotel, car. Internet

Don't pay money upfront to companies like Travelocity, Expedia, and others.

If you cancell or miss the flight, they don't reschedule air tickets. (You will have to buy a new air ticket the same day or next) 

If you can't fly to the destination, you also loose the hotel and car payments.

Travel insurance is costly. They reinburse only up to $500 per sick person.The rest of the travel party will have to go on with the vacation, or stay with the sick one.   If they do not continue with the vacation, there is no refund. 
 

A smart way to plan for travel is this; look for flights, hotel, and car online, compare and decide.Buy air tickets directly from the airline, they allow rescheduling. Reserve the hotel directly from them, no money upfront.
  
Reserve the car directly from them, no money upfront.
