[quote=Anonymous]Practical pricing perspective, try to book direct with everything but booking.com is my preferred vendor otherwise.

For flights, always play with pricing: one way/RT/from NY going to Europe and CA going Asia.  If you must stop anyway price out the hub to see if better price.  SFO/LAX for Asia and JFK for London are typically competitive pricing.  Use points to fly NS from here to those markets you get a better overall deal often v trying harder to fly for less out of local airports.

When I plan, I look at everything I want to do and draw up itinerary.  Next is configure with best priced flights to get dates.  Next is hotels. Next is any specific activity I need avail for.  I book all at once meaning I get everything aligned prior to booking so I'm sure this itinerary works in all ways - I do not piece meal.

For packing, I try really hard to carry on - even 3+ wks - the last thing I want to do is check in luggage but that may be me.  I enjoy convenience of having everything with me and no heavy lifting traveling.

Briggs and Riley is my go to carry on as their compact sys for me is best - never been able to pack more in a carry on! :)
