There are plenty of college football fans who remain confused about various elements of the Bowl Championship Series, or the BCS as it’s commonly known. It seems like new bowl games are added each year to satisfy new sponsors, and there’s always criticism about how teams are chosen for each game. But one thing that’s not confusing is where the BCS games are held – because it’s always in the same four cities.

The four BCS bowl games and their locations each year are:

• Fiesta Bowl – Glendale, Arizona
• Orange Bowl – Miami, Florida
• Rose Bowl – Pasadena, California
• Sugar Bowl – New Orleans, Louisiana

The dates and order of these four bowls change each year, and the location of the National Championship Game – although it’s always in one of these four cities – also changes each year. But at the very least, searching for cheap flights to BCS games is easy because you always know the four locations to look for.

>> The BCS bowl games schedule for the 2011-2012 season is: Jan 2 (Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl), Jan 4 (Orange Bowl), Jan 3 (Sugar Bowl) and Jan 9 (National Championship Game, New Orleans)

There will probably always be some debate about whether it’s better to travel on your own or with someone else, but the truth lies – as it so often does – somewhere in between. One thing that makes traveling with another person a good idea, however, is that you can save money. As counter-intuitive as it might seem, finding couples travel deals is often easier than finding solo travel deals.

Most package trips, cruises, and resorts cater to couples, whether they advertise it that way or not. Room rates are typically based on “double occupancy,” which obviously favors people traveling in a pair, and it’s solo travelers who have to figure out how to avoid the single supplement.

At the same time, however, by simply naming a particular special a “couples travel deal” it’s easy for a resort or cruise to make it look like they’re offering great luxury travel deals when they’re not. And if you’re in the mood for a romantic trip, the right marketing can cause you to overlook the fact that the whole thing might be overpriced to begin with.

Travel bargain hunters may feel smug when they knock a hundred bucks off of a domestic flight cross-country to go home for the holidays, but that feeling is amplified ten-fold when they find a bigger bargain on an international flight. We all know international airfare is expensive, and justifiably so.

But there are ways to get international travel deals that don’t involve marrying a pilot or stowing away in a jet’s wheel well (we can’t comment on the intelligence of the former, but we really don’t recommend the latter).

Sometimes finding international travel deals is as simple as planning your trip at a different time of year. Sometimes it may involve planning a trip to a different destination altogether – or at least routing your travels differently than you might ordinarily think would be easiest.

Here are some articles designed to help you find international travel deals, no matter where or when you want to go.

For a limited time only, Frontier Airlines offers the possibility to upgrade your Economy ticket to Classic ticket for just $10. The offer is valid for all domestic flights to/from Denver. Tickets are reusable (or refundable as applicable) for 12 months from purchase date.

Here you can see the facilities you get if you upgrade the ticket.

You’ll find plenty of articles online – including on this site – about how to find cheap airfare for various holidays or even particular popular destinations. But what about if you’re just in the mood to take a trip to a foreign country, with no specific timeframe in mind, and perhaps not even a specific country in mind. You just want to take an international trip, as long as you can get cheap international airfare. Then what?

The good news, especially for anyone who’s been reading up on how to find cheap airfare in general, is that you’ll use basically the same tools to find cheap international airfare, too. The even better news is that because international airfare often costs more than domestic airfare to begin with, the savings you could find are even bigger.

Here are the main things to keep in mind when you’re looking for deals on international flights, so that you find the cheapest airfare possible.

No matter what kind of trip you’re planning, it’s always good to get travel tips beforehand. Learning about what the local food specialties are, or what gestures are offensive and should be avoided, or how to ask where the toilet is in the local lingo – these are all good things to know before you arrive in a new place. Even if you’re planning something as simple as a ski trip, there are things you probably know to look into before you get there.

But there are other things you might not consider until it’s too late – i.e., after you’ve booked your trip. The list below includes some of the things you should think about before you even book your ski trip.
