Peter Travel Detective BibleFor many people there is nothing more daunting than trying to plan a business trip or a vacation: Where do I go? What hotel should I stay in?

Where should I sit on the plane? What companies should I stay away from? What do all of these fees mean?

Peter Greenberg, the trusted travel editor of the Today show, and the man writer Paul Theroux calls “the liberator and defender of the traveling public,” is here to help answer these questions in his new book THE COMPLETE TRAVEL DETECTIVE BIBLE The Consummate Insider Tells You What You Need to Know in an Increasingly Complex World (October 2, 2007; 640 pages; Paperback; $17.95, Rodale Books).

Peter offers a complete, encyclopedic look at every aspect of the travel process, both domestically and internationally, from a true definition of travel terms to an explanation of how things really work.

  • How to make reservations that actually protect your rights.
  • How to find out the real country-by-country requirements for flying internationally.
  • How to pack and what never to pack.
  • How to avoid draconian overweight bag fees.
  • How to avoid being a tourist and travel to safe places that fearful travelers avoid.
  • What rights aren’t revealed but may be covered by your credit card.
  • How to finess the upgrade –anywhere, and almost anytime
  • Important (and not often disclosed) safety and legal tips about traveling with children

The Complete Travel Detective Bible offers this information and more, cross-referenced by term, destination, and experience—and filled with charts, lists, and diagrams—all in an easily accessible format.
