I have to travel a lot for my business, primarily in Europe and Asia to great cities like Amsterdam, but often in the states. I used to use sites like Travelocity to book my hotels, but I stumbled upon the better way to find deals: go to the second level sites – those like http://ReservationCreation.com who compare the hundreds of different booking sites in one single search. You’ll not only see Trivago or Expedia deals, but ALL OF THEM in one place.

I must have saved over 3,000 Euros since I started using them. I sincerely believe that using only one of the top booking sites is not necessarily the best idea.
