He maikaʻi ka huakaʻi - ʻo ka pilikia wale nō, pono ʻoe e lele i kahi maikaʻi. A he kauo paha ia. Eia nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo he 10 e hiki ke maʻalahi ka huakaʻi, ʻoi aku ka ʻoluʻolu a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a puni, mai Cook- American Express Travel ma New York.

1. E ohumu, a e loaa ia oukou. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake i kekahi mea e pili ana i kāu lele ʻana (ʻai, lohi, nā noho puʻupuʻu, nā kahu hana ʻino, nā ukana nalowale), e ʻoluʻolu e ʻōlelo - kūʻai nā mokulele i nā mea holo ʻino me nā mile lele pinepine.

2. Uku emi, loaa hou. He mea pupule ia akā he ʻoiaʻiʻo: Loaʻa nā noho papa mua ma nā kumukūʻai kaʻa, ʻoi aku hoʻi no ka huakaʻi honua hope loa, inā ʻoe e hoʻohana i kahi hui huakaʻi. ʻO ka nui o nā ʻoihana nui e pili ana i nā mokulele kahi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kūʻai i kahi kumukūʻai uku piha a hoʻonui ʻia i ka papa ʻoihana. A ma ka home, hiki i nā ʻelele ke hoʻopaʻa i nā tiketi kaʻi ma lalo o nā code (e like me Y, Q a i ʻole Z), e hāʻawi i nā mea kūʻai tiketi i nā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻakomi i ka papa mua.

3. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka meaʻai? Mai pili ia mea. ʻAʻole hāʻawi kēia mau hoʻolaha āpau no nā meaʻai ʻono maikaʻi iā ʻoe: Loaʻa ka hapa nui ma nā mokulele kikoʻī wale nō. No ka laʻana, hāʻawi ʻo Delta iā Todd English sandwiches akā ma nā mokulele wale nō ma waena o New York a me Los Angeles, San Diego, Seattle a me Kapalakiko. E hoʻomākaukau iā ʻoe iho no nā pretzels.

4. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻoluʻolu ma ke kaʻa. Eia ka maalea: E kuai i ekolu noho ma ke kaa no elua kanaka. He ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i ʻelua mau noho ma ka papa ʻoihana, a loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi lumi e hoʻomaha ai.

5. Hoʻonui ma ka puka. Hāʻawi ka hapa nui o nā mokulele i nā hoʻomaikaʻi i ka papa mua no $500 ma ka waihona tikiki ma ke kahua. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka palaoa, akā ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka papa mua e hoʻomaka ai.

7. ʻAʻole loaʻa i nā pūnaewele nā makana maikaʻi loa. He maikaʻi ʻo Kayak.com a me Expedia, akā ʻaʻole pono nā mokulele e hāʻawi pololei i kā lākou mau uku a pau i nā pūnaewele; akā, hāʻawi lākou i nā kumukūʻai ʻupena a me nā tiketi consolidator i nā hui huakaʻi huakaʻi nui e hōʻoia i ka hoʻopiha ʻana i nā noho kaʻawale me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻole i kā lākou waihona. No laila hiki ke uku ke kamaʻilio me kahi mea huakaʻi; loaʻa iā lākou nā uku ʻupena a me nā consolidator ʻaʻole i loaʻa i nā kahua hoʻemi, ʻoi aku hoʻi no nā ʻoihana honua a me nā noho papa mua.

8. E kūʻai mai i kahi pāʻani pūʻolo. ʻOiai inā ʻaʻole ʻoe e hoʻohana iā lākou a pau, i kekahi manawa ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kahi hōkele, holo moku a me nā mokulele e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ka mokulele wale nō. E nānā i nā mea kūikawā a hoʻohana pono.

9. E kūʻai aku i ka huakaʻi kaʻapuni, ʻoiai inā e hele ana ʻoe i hoʻokahi ala. Hoʻolimalima nā mokulele i ka uku no nā tiketi ala hoʻokahi. E hele a puni a mai hoʻohana i ka lele hoʻi. Ina hiki i ka Lunakanawai Kiekie ke hana, pela no oe; Ua lawe ʻo Antonin Scalia i kahi huakaʻi hele hoʻokahi ma ka mokulele pilikino o Dick Cheney no kahi huakaʻi hahai holoholona, a laila ua hoʻopaʻa ʻia he $218 huakaʻi holo kaʻapuni i ka home ma kahi o ka $700 kokoke i ka lele hoʻi hoʻokahi ala.

(ʻO ka ʻokoʻa inā ʻoi aku ka lōʻihi ma mua o ka mana o ka mokulele, e like me ka ʻino.) E nānā i ka aviation.com no ka ʻike hou aku.
