Where Are All the Deals?

Contributing Editor Carl Unger believes that every trip is worth taking. He loves an extended trip to Europe as much as he enjoys exploring the towns and landscape near home. Basically, you'll find him wherever there is good food, fresh air, and plenty of stories to bring home.

Carl has been writing for SmarterTravel since 2005. His travel writing has also appeared on USA Today and the About.com Boston travel guide.

The Handy Item I Always Pack: "It's not revolutionary, but a small Moleskine notebook is my one travel must-have. It's great for noting things you want to remember and it takes up hardly any space in your bag."

Ultimate Bucket List Experience: "Japan. I'd love to take a month off and visit the cities, temples, and countryside. I'm fascinated by the country's juxtaposition of ancient traditions and modern ambitions."

Travel Motto: “Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.” –Terry Pratchett

Aisle, Window, or Middle Seat: "Window."

All of us here at SmarterTravel.com appreciate the collective wisdom of our readers. You guys and gals form a smart bunch, whether you’re providing insight on a blog or asking a tough question of our Deal Detective. We also receive countless reader emails touting good deals seen and purchased online.

Over the years, we’ve come to realize that as skilled as we are at finding good deals (if I may say so myself), we simply can’t track down every single decent deal on the Internet. We need more help. Do you see where I’m going with this?

We’ve decided to turn to you, our readers. This is your chance to share your deal-finding knowledge with all of us here at Smarter Travel. If you’ve found or seen a good deal on the Internet lately, post the details in the comment field below, including a link if you can. Any kind of travel deal is welcome, from airfare deals to hotel offers to frequent flyer mileage bonuses. Think of it as an easy way to help your fellow travelers in this dicey economy.

Oh, and thanks!
