Myths mothers believe about booking travel with their kids

When it comes to traveling, it is so difficult to research everything you need to research. When viewing online, you find such a plethora of web sites that a variety of choices in airfare costs, tickets, and accommodation.

How do you narrow down the true offers from the misleading? Simply by knowing myth versus fact with regards to traveling.

Myth #1 - The "Kids Free" programs: Have you ever seen an offer that says "Kids Fly Free" or "Kids eat free?" Chances are, the cost of your kids flying or eating is worked into the price of the overall package.  When your kids fly free, you must purchase hotel and airfare accommodations together.  Often you can also choose a rental car with your package or catch a break on theme park tickets. The catch is that most of the kids free hotels can be booked at a better rate directly through the hotel, or the room you can get is completely wrong for staying in with small children.  Do your research prior to booking these packages.

Myth #2 - Travel Web sites will get you the best deal on airfare - Nope, not even close. Occasionally you will find a great deal on airfare through these sites, and many of them no longer charge booking fees, but the logic is that they have to make money from somewhere.  Find a flight on these sites that looks appealing, then go straight to the airlines web site for a better deal. Often you'll find it, and more flexibility with time and dates as well.

Myth #3 - Hotel rooms that are labeled "Kid Friendly" really are - Have you ever booked a junior suite in a hotel and thought it would be perfect for you and your two children? You can watch TV while they sleep and the morning noise will be diminished. When you walk into these 'Suites' your hopes are dashed as you see a simple half-wall between the couch and bed, while still allowing direct view of the bright TV screen.  Junior suites are not designed for privacy. If you want quiet for your baby, book a one bedroom suite in a hotel that caters to those with children.

Yes, it's difficult to narrow down your travel choices because there is such an amazing amount of web sites who want your business. Ask your friends, do some research, and try not to stress when you finally do decide on a package. Vacations are meant to be fun, even when you are traveling with your children!
