Costly Travel Errors

Every time you pay a baggage fee to an airline, you are giving up money that could have been spent for better travel experiences. Is it a huge error? Probably not, but there are lots of things for which travelers pay too much -- maybe a hotel room or airfare, for example -- that can add up into expensive mistakes. And what about more subtle (often hidden) errors that prove common and costly. Can you catch them before it's too late?

Consider a list of common budget travel errors. See how many you've committed and how many you can cross off your list of travel habits prior to your next departure.
