Rating: Summary: This can be a VERY useful book! Review: When I purchased this book I knew nothing about traveling as a courier. This book explains just about everything that you need to know to get to where you need to go for so much less (I flew to London for 1/2 price). It is true that a lot of the info in the book can be found on the net, but there is also info about each individual company that I have not seen on the internet (or at least not for free). Courier companies vary widely in their practices and proedures, this is why this book is helpful. You will find a run-down of a lot of the questions that you would need to ask with answers already. Things such as "can I check luggage?" or "will I accrue travel miles?" and so many other things that can be so useful when deciding which company you should choose to contact. Knowing this information makes you a truely informed consumer and it also helps that the book is reputable (unlike so many internet sites). If you are going tofly as a courier buy this book!
Rating: Summary: Disappointing Review: You can get much more of the same information from the internet: pros/cons of courier travel, courier companies, destinations, how to set up a trip, and reference prices.The 152 pages of large type, photos and unneeded banner separators created the impression of lot of fluff. The same text could be contained in 1/2 as many pages. Save your money!
