Travel Reservation Tips for a Hassle-Free Golfing Vacation

You have been planning your golfing vacation for weeks, or even months now. You have decided on the perfect golf vacation destination and now it is time to start making those reservations. But before you start, there may be a few things you should take into consideration to make sure that everything goes as smoothly as possible when making your reservations.

Start with the basics. Anyone who wants to enjoy a hassle-free golfing trip has to start with the basic concern of any traveler - how to handle travel reservations. Here are a number of tips that may help:

-Decide on a travel plan - specific destination, how many days, what activities, etc. The attention given to this first step will ensure smooth sailing in making the travel arrangements.

-If the destination is a foreign country, make sure all information that would be needed in making reservations are on hand.

Airline Reservations

-If booking online, use a reservation site where ticket prices for all airlines are shown so a comparison can be readily seen. If booking for more than one person, check the ticket prices for both single and multiple passengers. Some airlines quote different prices.

-If notification of your reservation is done by e-mail, make sure that the ticket price quoted is the same. Sometimes, some airlines claim the airfare booked earlier is no long available.

Hotel Reservations

-Ask if the rate is a flat rate or per person, how many beds are in the room and what size they are. Be sure to finalize a rate before getting off the phone. -Ask about tax rates that would be added. -Will breakfast be included with the price of the room? What time is it served and what is included. -Are there guarantee and cancellation policies? Most hotels require a credit card to guarantee a room. Will they ask for a check deposit? - If this is a standard reservation, make sure to get a confirmation number.

These simple tips can make the reservation process easier and help you avoid some unexpected surprises.
