Hace una semana salió el primer vuelo del Aeropuerto Internacional de Oakland a dos destinos populares en la Riviera Mexicana, Puerto Vallarta y Los Cabos. La aerolínea Southwest ofrecerá vuelos directos diarios hacia estos dos destinos populares.
The most expensive city in Europe is Stockholm, Sweden. The glam capital was the obvious destination on my recent trip through Scandinavia but I instead chose to visit Sweden’s second largest city, Gothenburg. As I’ve found with many second cities, Gothenburg is naturally less congested, less expensive, and less touristic than Stockholm or other famous capitals. Over the course of a 72-hour stay, Gothenburg proved to be a very pleasant surprise for my eyes, wallet and palate.
Riding the smart travel trend between California and Europe ---
It’s a great time to be a traveler and smart travelers are being rewarded in many ways for their pursuit of quality and value. Like any smart consumer, smart travelers are not simply focused on the lowest cost options for hotels, flights, dining, etc. – they want quality of product and experience, and they’re not interested in paying for unnecessary frills or extras. They are value seekers, not price shoppers. And they are open to brands and destinations that are new, non-traditional or unfamiliar. Finally, smart travelers are not held hostage by dramatic and distorted reporting of terrorism, viruses, or economic doom. In fact, they know that the best time to travel is when the crowds are traveling less due to various fears or seasonal habits.

Son buscadores de valor, no compradores de precios. Y están abiertos a las marcas y destinos que son nuevos, no tradicionales o poco familiares.
