An online aggregator of resources for traveling. Below is a relatively long and useful list of resources for you to enjoy. It can obviously still be expanded. If you come up with any useful additions, please do email us at resourcesfortraveling@gmail.com and we’ll update the list. RetailMeNotMeanwhile, and as a prelude to your quest to find the perfect flight, may we suggest you become a user of RetailMeNot. It's an online coupon and voucher aggregator. This means that you might find vouchers to use as a discount for your flight. There is also a Mozilla add-on here. Essentially, it automatically checks if there are vouchers for the specific website you’re visiting. If yes, it’ll displays a slim information bar above your window. Without further ado, here is the list!
