The scheduled business class airfare is £3,300. Your travel agent can get it for £1,700. Inside Traveller will show you how to pay just £650.

Why are the travel giants attempting to silence us?

As you are doubtless aware, in the travel industry different customers will be charged wildly differing prices for exactly the same thing. Thus the passenger in Seat 1A on a flight to Paris may have paid as much as twice the price paid by the passenger in Seat 2A, who in turn may have paid as much as twice the price paid by the passenger in Seat 3A. What holds true for the airlines holds true throughout the whole sector from car rental firms to hotels, and from ferry owners to railway operators.

The organisations in question publish one price - the scheduled air fare in the case of airlines - but everyone knows that in reality there is a range of prices available and that what you pay is determined by who you are, when and how you book. Naturally, each organisation wants to keep their discounted prices absolutely secret. So you can imagine how popular Inside Traveller was when we went ahead and started to publish full details of the lowest prices that were actually available if you knew how to get them.

Our editorial policy has made us many enemies within the travel sector for other reasons. No other publication, for instance, dares to tell its readers precisely how individual airlines, hotel groups and car rental firms operate their free upgrade policies. Or which airlines had the most ‘near misses’. Or how to get into over 60 airport lounges - free - even if you’re travelling economy. Or how to hire a car at less than half the best corporate rate offered by the likes of Hertz or Avis. Or how to book a suite at the Ritz for the cost of the smallest, meanest room. Or ...

The point is, Inside Traveller is written by people who are employed within -or retired from - the travel industry. People who have genuine, proven, up-to-the- minute knowledge about the inside workings of all the various travel organisations from airlines to cruise companies. Imagine how their valuable expertise and experience will assist you:

• You will always be able to take advantage of the most advantageous (bluntly, the cheapest) deal.
• You will also enjoy all the possible extra privileges (free upgrades, free limousines, free gifts, and so forth) available.

But I wouldn’t want you to think that Inside Traveller is only about saving money and getting something for nothing. Our readership is made up of regular travellers who rely on us to keep them abreast of anything which may be of relevance to both their business and leisure travel.
I would stress, too, that Inside Traveller never, ever carries any advertising and does not, therefore, have to answer to anyone except its own subscribers. Furthermore, should you decide to become a subscriber you will always be welcome to take advantage of our free research service:

• We guarantee to answer any travel-related enquiry you may have without charge.
• We guarantee to supply further information on any news story about which we’ve reported - again, without charge.

There are two other important points I’d like to make. Firstly, if you do decide to become a subscriber you’re fully covered by our 100% money-back guarantee - if you decide to cancel at any time after the 30-day guarantee has elapsed, we will refund the unused portion of your subscription in full.

And, Inside Traveller only has to provide you with one usable tip a year and you could save your subscription many, many times over.
