  On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with Lisa, the woman in the next seat until the conversation turned to fares(票价).The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109.Laura paid the full fare of$457.She decided that next time she would find out how to spend less money.

  Here are some ways to save money:

  Cheap airplane tickets.To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip.The cheapest way to fly is as a courier(送快信的人).In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one – quarter of the regular fare - - - or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute.Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for$100;a regular ticket cost around$1,800 .

Train passes.If you are going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money.Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time.Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.

  Hostels.Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations(住宿)for people under the age of 25.Nowadays, hostels don’t have any age requirements.They are not only cheap($8-$17 a night) but a great way to meet people.Hostels are often in interesting places - - - a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one – room schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia.And sometimes hostels have swimming pools
