Here’s something you need to know: the difference between tour agents and tour operators.
Guyana is no stranger to the tourism agency. Although, compared to other countries, it has a long way to go tourism-wise, there are still plenty of Guyanese trying to get a piece of those highly valued $, £, and €. So, to state what shouldn’t need to be said for the sake of being thorough:
A tour operator: owns the boats, planes, boats etc. and employs the guides. They have their own offices and market tours themselves. A tour agent: books you on an aforementioned tour and tacks on a hefty commission. In Guyana, it will likely be unclear what you’re booking [...]
1909-P Hwy 17 North, Mt Pleasant, SC Breakfast/Brunch, Bagels, Coffee $ – Cheap
I’m a fan of Bagel Nation–I’ll admit it–so, when I checked them out on Urbanspoon to see what others were thinking, I was shocked to see only a 71%! Ok, sure, it’s in a strip mall. And, yes, it’s true that it takes 20+ minutes to get your order, that the bagels often run out very early and that the place is generally just dirty feeling–from the tables to the walls. But, that’s part of the charm. It’s a hometown kind of place with some character and good prices. And that’s all before we get to the [...]
Plattsburgh (PBG) airport is served by three carriers–all considered to be “low-cost carriers”:
Flights to: Boston Flights to: Myrtle Beach (MYR), Ft. Lauderdale (FLL) Flights to: Ft. Lauderdale (FLL), Orlando/Sanford (SFB), Las Vegas (LAS), Punta Gorda (PGD)Alright, so you bit the bullet on the dirt cheap tickets on Spirit Air to head to Montreal but didn’t exactly think that, no matter what the liars at Spirit say, it isn’t like Plattsburgh is a suburb of Montreal — it’s fricken’ 70 miles away — a solid 90 mins.

Ahh yes, Spirit Air, the self-proclaimed “America’s Only ULCC-Ultra Low Cost Carrier.” The champions of nickel-and-diming, Spirit charges the customer only for what he uses. If you want to carry-on a bag, you’re welcome to for a fee, but they don’t add it to the ticket cost because they don’t charge those who don’t want the service. No matter what your opinion is on the big change in the airline industry, you can’t deny that Spirit Air has some damn cheap fares on their routes.
