In this third installment of the Ask Jackie series, we get into several reader/listener questions about all things travel.
We discuss ways to make dollars stretch on the road, when is an appropriate time to start researching flights, what is the best way to book a last-minute flight, if it’s possible to travel for a month with a 25-lb luggage limit, what happens when you have to modify or change plans that have been made, how much of a trip should be planned out, and how to travel with a 9-5 job and two weeks vacation.
Join us here and on the BMT Community group on Facebook to get your questions answered!
