Alam natin lahat na ang LTO Driver's License natin pwera sa pagmamaneho ay nagagamit natin bilang katibayan ng pagkakakakilanlan ( Identification Card) sa mga transaksyon natin sa gobyerno at sa mga banko.

Dahil sa kakulangan ng mga special security features ng kasalukuyan LTO driver's License napakadali para sa mga sindikato ang magpalusot ng peke na LTO Driver's License. Milyon milyon piso ang kanilang kinikita sa pangloloko sa walang kamalay malay na Pinoy :-( Sa tingin ko ay napapanahon na ang pag enhance sa kasalukuyan features ng atin driver's license na napakanipis at napakadaling mabakbak at masira. Ikaw ano sa palagay mo?

Experience New York: Cycle the City

Experience New York: Cycle the City

Have you ever wondered how the locals see the Big Apple – and what makes this vibrant city so captivating? There’s no better way to discover the pulse of a bustling city than by getting up close and personal with its inner workings. Bike tours are incredibly popular across many worldly destinations, from Europe and the UK to Asia and Australia. When tourists visit New York City, however, many take a cab or jump on a tour bus, ultimately missing out on some of the best sightseeing opportunities available. When planning your holiday to NYC, don’t just visit the overcrowded tourist attractions, instead, take a bike tour of the city and discover why the locals have fallen in love with Manhattan.

Central Park

When you think of New York, you most likely think of the infamous Central Park. Covering an enormous land area of 843 acres, in the middle of New York City, cycling provides the perfect way to see all that you can in Central Park. Reputable tour companies offer various guided tours of the park, which often including sightseeing opportunities such as a trip to the strawberry fields, viewing of the Belvedere Castle, time spent at the Onassis Reservoir and a magical experience in the Shakespeare Garden.

New York City

When visiting New York, you can’t leave without a trip to all of the most infamous attractions. The city of New York is basically overflowing with famous attractions, ranging from Time Square through to the Statue of Liberty. If you want to see the best that New York has to offer, but are short on time, be sure to book in for an NYC bike tour. Most city tours include trips to Madison Square Park, Ground Zero, Little Italy, Time Square, Hudson River Parkway and Washington Square Park.

Brooklyn

Just as famous as the Upper East Side & Manhattan, yours of Brooklyn offer a unique experience to travellers, delving into the culture and heritage of the United States. A guided bike tour is by far the best way to experience all that this city has to offer, with riders having the opportunity to visit the Brooklyn Bridge, Walt Whitlam Park, the Stonewall Memorial, Washington Square Park and the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

When travelling through New York, it’s often hard to know where to begin and what to include in an already overflowing itinerary. If you’re looking at making the most of your journey with a bike tour, be sure to take a trip out to the Hamptons or other surrounding areas of the city, for some of the best views in America. Using bike racks for cars will enable you to get the most out of your time in New York, while still having the opportunity to experience this city in this best way imaginable!

Getting the Best Deal on Business Class Airfares

Getting the Best Deal on Business Class Airfares

Getting the best deal on business class airfares does not require special talent. Talking with airline representatives or having certain credit cards are just a few ways travellers can receive discounted business travel rates. Here are some features that make business class so desirable:

Seating rivals first class comfort with wider, reclining units.

Passengers receive five-star cuisine in lieu of standard airline food. Alcoholic beverages are complimentary.

Some airlines offer individual entertainment centres broadcasting basic cable channels like the cable news network (CNN).

Additional rewards include special onboard social lounges, concierge-type services and onboard business lounges equipped with facsimile (fax) machines. Some airlines provide access to special airport lounges during flight layovers. Business class is available on flights lasting over six hours to any passenger that purchases a ticket.

All the rewards come at a price. According to USA Today, business class airfare is 2 to 10 times more expensive than coach rates. Here are some methods to snagging discounted business-class rates without much hassle.

Talk Directly with Airlines

Sometimes airlines offer great deals on business class airfare. Depending on the destination, passengers receive up to 50 per cent off standard rates. Airline purchases can be highly restrictive with travel limitations based on minimum stays and advanced-purchase periods. Ticket purchases directly from airlines may allow passengers to utilise frequent flyer miles for greater discounts.

Research Consolidator Agencies

Consolidator agencies work with airlines to sell discounted tickets through travel agencies. Some offer public sales via specialized websites where customers enter an itinerary for ticket rates, call offices directly for information or bid for pricing. The companies offer tremendous discounts on first and business class airfare. Tickets are non-refundable and follow in-direct routing. Some consolidator tickets are not eligible for frequent flyer points and may include a host of surcharges.

Approach Coupon Brokers with Caution

The most questionable method of obtaining cheap airfare involves the services of coupon brokers. Brokers arrange deals between people looking to buy and sell frequent flyer miles. Buyers pay two or three cents per mile while sellers receive one cent for every mile sold. In theory, buyers use miles to reduce ticket costs and receive free upgrades. Airlines frown upon this practice and have the right to cancel reservations for anyone caught travelling with brokered miles.

Put Premium Credit Cards to Work

American Express (Amex) Platinum and Carte Blanche are two well-known credit cards that offer deals on business class travel. Cardholders that purchase one ticket from specified airlines receive another ticket following the same itinerary at no cost. Companion tickets are not eligible for frequent flyer miles and travellers are responsible for associated taxes and fees.

The above methods are highly effective in obtaining discounted airfare, but passengers must remember flexibility is important. Flyers who travel during off-peak times of the day or year receive noticeable savings. An open mind is essential to getting the best deal on business class airfares.
