Summary: 1st Class With 5 Star Service
Review: I enjoyed this book because it is the only book that I could find that taught me legitimate ways of improving my travel experience without additional cost. I love to travel but dislike the hassles, so here's a book to solve that problem. I also like his web column, travelerstales.com/penny; good advice here.

Summary: Very Helpful
Review: I found this book to be extremely helpful for planning a recent family trip. We did not get first class seats, but we did get the seats in the first row of coach with extended legroom. Our hotel was upgraded to a large suite with a prime view of the golf course. All in all, I feel that this simplistic approach saves time and a lot of stress. We now have a philosophical nature towards traveling. I recommend for all travelers.

Summary: fourth class information
Review: This book has TWO sentences of helpful information. Stick to your brands and be polite. Hey, is that just one? Obvious and counter- productive advice like, it's easier to get a first class upgrade when you take a red eye flight, does not qualify for either luxury advice or travel. The only luxury in this book is the 242 pages used to say one useful sentence. It is regretable that such a dependable and interesting series as Traveler's Tales would publish such a useless book. I find the 5 star reviews also suspect. Not one reviewer mentions some new concrete advice that helps them now enjoy luxury travel.

Summary: I Enjoyed Very Much
Review: I can't tell you how much I enjoyed (and have been recommending) your excellent book! I have flown with free First Class (upgrades) five times now because of your advice. Being 6'2 and traveling extensively for a major software company, every inch helps! ;-)

Summary: Could have been said in 2 pages!
Review: what a waste of time and money reading this book. basically the book says that you should be flexible, travel contrary to the heavy seasons, be loyal to your airlines and hotels, be vocal but polite in your requests for upgrades and that is that. reasonable advice BUT A BOOK IT IS NOT. these items are essentially repeated over and over and over in order to reach critical book mass.you now know everything you will learn from this book so don't buy it.

Summary: Loved It!
Review: Dear Joel, I can't tell you how much I enjoyed (and have been recommending) your excellent book! I have flown with free First Class (upgrades) five times now because of your advice. Being 6'2 and traveling extensively for a major software company, every inch helps! ;-) You mentioned in your book you give seminars etc.? Could I have more info. about this?

Summary: A very useful Book
Review: I read this book and found it insightful, informative, and chock-full of great tidbits. Unlike the two earlier reviews I feel this book is very realistic with one caveat, it is not for a quick fix! This book teaches the consumer how to build long-term relationships that will yield 1st class travel. If you’re interested in a fast, gimmicky, solution this book won’t be much help. If you’re interested in traveling 1st class today and tomorrow this will be a very useful guide.
