Last summer I finally decided to take a vacation. It was supposed to be the vacation I would remember for the rest of my life, and it turn out be just that—but for the wrong reasons.
After I decided that I would spend my hard-earn vacation time trekking the lovely continent of Europe, I started to look for Europe airline tickets. I saw a Priceline ad one night and said, “What the heck, I’ll give it a try.”
So after figuring out their complicated negotiator system, (or the scam system as I now refer it it) I got my tickets. Before I was about to purchase them, I noticed the William Shatner logo in the corner said “You can save over $500 if you book your hotel rooms with this flight.” Well, who doesn’t want that?!
So like a sucker, I picked out my hotels, by their terrible star rating system. Long story short, the three-star hotels I paid for through Priceline were no better than the hostels I was considering, and triple the price. Plus, one of them didn’t have record of my reservation, so I spent precious vacation time arguing about my reservation that Priceline told me was made.
So save yourself a ruined vacation and talk to your Brooklyn Travel agency before you embark on a cross-continental vacation. It is well-worth it.
