VALUE IS THE DESTINATION
A question worth asking before you book
What if the cheapest flight
isn’t actually the cheapest?
Travel Rule #09 · Page 29
The Cheapest Flight Isn’t Always the Cheapest.
A low advertised fare can become more expensive after baggage, seat selection, airport transportation, long connections, inconvenient arrival times, and other charges.
Don’t ask only, “Which ticket is cheapest?” Ask, “Which journey gives me the best total value?”
That’s one rule. There are 59 more.

Not another “travel hacks” book
You don’t need 600 random travel hacks.

Hacks are situational. Rules are memorable. The 60 Travel Rules create a repeatable way to compare total value, notice convenience premiums, protect the expenses that matter, and recognize when “cheap” creates another cost.
