Are you looking to get a little more specific with your flight search?  When is the cheapest time to travel?  When is it the right time to book your flight?  Or, maybe taking the train to your destination is the best way to go.  (Kayak.com/explore) is definitely a fan favorite.  It lets you enter your departure city, season in which you want to travel and maximum flight time.  It then quickly calculates all your options and displays a map showing where you can go within those parameters.

Want to see if the train is less expensive then try (Hipmunk.com).  This great site includes Amtrak prices and departure times when you search for flights on a specific route that is also served by the railways.  This  site could lead to great alternatives for trips such as New York to Boston or Chicago to Milwaukee.

Google also recently came out with there own version for searching flights (google.com/flights).  While still new and lacking a few features, it still makes for a great tool to check round-trip tickets for most domestic destinations.

One last website which is perfect for checking to see when the right time to book is by Microsoft (travel.bing.com).  They have a great feature which helps recommends to bookers on whether they should BOOK NOW or WAIT.  Although these recommendations are not always 100% accurate, they can definitely help in deciding when to book your next business trip or vacation.

The first phase of the NY/NJ Port Authority toll increase begins this Sunday.  The George Washington Bridge, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, Goethals Bridge, Bayonne Bridge and Outerbridge Crossing all get rate increases.  Cash commuters will get hit the hardest with a $4.00 increase, to $12.00.  The tolls will keep on rising in phases, until 2015 with the final increase to cross a bridge or tunnel will be $12.50 for travelers that use EZ Pass during peak hours.

According to the PA of NY/NJ, the toll increases will help maintain its bridges & tunnels.  The rise in tolls will also help finance a 10 year, $25 billion capital plan which a portion of will go towards the redevelopment of the World Trade Center site.

After almost 10 years of having to take off your footwear every time you travel by air, the TSA will soon be lifting this restriction.  As better screening technology becomes available this nuisance of removing your shoes prior to flights, departing in the US, is not to far away from being lifted.

Taking your shoes off is a security precaution that is only practiced in the United States.  Three months after the Sept. 11th attacks, a British born, self-proclaimed al-Qaeda member tried to set off a bomb in his shoe on an American Airlines flight to Miami.  He was ultimately subdued by crew & passengers and no other shoe bomb attempt has been attempted since then.
