Author Description

In this fun to read, yet fact-packed edition, Jack takes you be the hand and shows you not only how easy it is to get to visit the greatest hotels, theme parks, cruise lines, resorts and spas in the world - but also how to get there for free by air - often in First Class. Why would these places want to do this? Every country, every hotel, every airline has a massive marketing budget - budgets that are actually increased in times of recession. Advertising costs a fortune, especially on a national or international basis. Now, we'll let you into a little extra secret. Jack Freemont is not his real name - he would be ostracized by the other Travel Writers who sail and fly around the world for free if they know who he was! They love their lifestyles and their secrets - and now you can, too. But "Jack" really reveals all - all the extras you can obtain (everything from free top of the range luggage to warm clothes (or swimsuits and sunglasses!) as these companies want publicity for their products too!). These are revealed in the top secret twice-monthly, free, newsletter. As well as listing the people / departments to contact (emails / names / phone numbers as appropriate), he gives you full access to some private websites which list special "Press Trips". These offer you the chance to travel with other peoples like you and get lots of extra - as well as travel from your local airport, the host meets you at the destination airport (in some countries, they meet you on board the aircraft after it lands - you are sat at the front, so that you can be priority disembarked and whisked, in a minibus or limo from the aircraft steps, through the VIP security section and straight to the resort. Your bags mysteriously appear in your room before you do (they're priority disembarked, too!). Your tickets are marked with a special three letter code! <
