Various
forecasts have predicted that travel sales will account for half of all
online business by 2000 AD. Booking engines are getting easier and friendlier,
credit-card fraud has not emerged to be the stumbling-block that skeptics
predicted, and increasingly many travel companies offer Internet-only deals.
So if you've thought of reaching for your wallet, but never done so, perhaps
now is the time to investigate... |

If
the population of the Earth continued to increase at its present rate indefinitely,
by 3530 A.D. the total mass of human flesh and blood would equal the mass
of the Earth. By 6826 A.D. it would equal the mass of the known universe.

The name for Oz
in the 'Wizard of Oz' was thought up when the creator, Frank Baum,
looked at his filing cabinet and saw A-N, and O-Z, hence 'Oz.'

Travelocity. A (very) US
based site which provides excellent flight search and deal facilities.
Fare-watcher e-mail service and Flight Paging service which sends
"important flight info to your alphanumeric pager"!! Now, where did
I put my pager?? You can even send flowers from this site!! Easy to
use and comprehensive in what it does, but unless you"re originating
from the US don"t expect any price favours. |

American
Express Travel. A fine example of a one-stop shop, this pleasant
surprise of a site uses hi-tech features but in an unintimidating
and intuitive manner. Certain aspects are aimed at US residents only,
such as driving instructions, but that should not dissuade the rest
of you. If it's not on the site, there is a link to it. Check it out.

ExpediaWhilst
being curiously under-informative in parts (look up Africa under 'guides'),
other areas of this Microsoft Network site are a pleasant surprise
(check out the chatrooms). Along the same lines as Preview Travel
(even resembles its look), it features the usual suspects of car hire,
hotel reservations, airline reservations, US -only flight check. A
limited International version of the US based site is available. Unfortunately,
creating an account is necessary for the 'travel agent' section.
