It's time for our Traveler's Aid! Listeners who last week heard us
talking about the unlikely chance of a United Airlines fare sale must have
been as surprised as we were when we opened the paper this week to see
a full page ad of new, discounted United tickets. Terry Trippler from
OneTravel.com was
our master prognosticator. He became our fortune teller with egg
on his face. We asked him what's going on?

There's also a whole category of other deals out there right now. Think
of these as the "Good Times Gone Bad" deals. Take Australia for
instance. Everyone knows the Sydney games get under way this weekend but the
bookings aren't what organizers hoped. Kathy Sudeikis is a travel agent
in Kansas City, Missouri and the new vice-president of the American
Society of Travel Agents. She told me that Sydney's busted hype means more
deals for you and me. Listen in and find out what they are.
