Know how you can save? The Penny Pincher's Passport to Luxury Travel by Joel L. Widzer (Travelers' Tales, 2008) is in its third edition. Subtitled The Art of Cultivating Preferred Customer Status, the book focuses on building relationships with airlines, hotels and car-rental agencies and turning those relationships into discounts and upgrades. Widzer calls the tourism industry confusing and contradictory, an assessment hard to disagree with.
