Teenager Authors Book On Getting Cheap Airline Tickets, Blogs About Airline Operations
A teenage blogger has authored the newest book on getting cheap airline tickets.
With a blog that is heavy on airline business news, 16-year-old Sam Sellers is now offering advice on how to find the cheapest seats in a book that can be read online or in print form.
Titled , "Take Control of Booking a Cheap Airline Ticket," the 152-page book helps American readers identify the best travel sites from the hundreds available. It provides a step-by-step process for quickly discovering the lowest possible fare while avoiding rip-offs and time-wasting sites.
The publisher says readers will also find advice for reserving a good seat and preparing for low-hassle travel, as well as information on using frequent flyer miles, credit cards that provide flight discounts, and recommended methods for tracking deals.
Appendixes link to major airline home pages and flight-route maps, explain the taxes applied to fares, and more.
Sellers doesn't fit the mold of a traditional author, since he juggles his industry research and writing deadlines with the busy schedule of a high school student at Bainbridge High School in western Washington. Sellers also runs the Airline Bulletin blog at http://www.airlinebulletin.com/.
"We were shocked when we learned that the author of the proposal was only 16 years old," said Adam Engst, publisher of Take Control Books. "He wrote a great proposal that gave no hint that he was a teenager. When we learned he had been blogging about airlines since 2004 and read his coverage, that sealed the deal."
"Take Control of Booking a Cheap Airline Ticket" can be read onscreen or on paper. The onscreen version is a PDF file with hot links to the Web sites mentioned, making it easy for readers to quickly access recommended sites. Although Take Control's onscreen book design has won over many who previously believed they would never read a book on a computer, a paper version is available for those who prefer to read a bound volume.
The book is available from Sellers’ Blog as well as many bookstores.
