Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel Editorial Review: Unlike any other publication, Arthur Frommer's Budget Travel brings you travel options that most people never know. The information in every issue can save you hundreds of dollars whenever you travel--wherever you go. It can make the difference between staying at home or taking a dream vacation.
Customer Reviews: Never Received Product I haven't received my first copy yet, it's been over a month, but it did say 4-6 weeks. So I will continue to wait!
Favorite American Travel Magazine I travel quite frequently, and this magazine provides LOADS of useful information. They always have good coverage of American travel destinations, usually about equally split with international holiday spots. Budget Travel succeeds greatly in capturing the feel of the place they are reporting on, along with quite a few "insider" tips. I like to know where locals like to go, I don't want to be scammed by tourists spots. I have already gone to several restaurants and places recommended by them and stayed at two hotels, and have been very pleased. My only gripe is somethings aren't always completely in a budget catagory, but thankfully those are far and few between. If you love this magazine also check out Lonely Planets travel magazine, which is my all time favorite travel mag.
Great magazine I've read a few different travel magazines, and this one is by far the best. It has great articles, stories, tips, and ideas. I will be renewing my subscription to this one.
not for me I am not sure what I expected but Budget Travel did not do anything for me. My wife and I are in our 30s and have a desire to see the United States and the rest of the world. I was hoping for reviews of resorts and cruise lines and fun trips that were planned out for us. Most of the places reviewed did not interest us and seemed to be geared towards older couples who had time to take weeks off for a vacation. By the end of the year it seemed like the magazine was becoming very predictible.
I did enjoy the tips from other travelers and the prices on the cheapest vacations were nice to browse. My suggestion is to make the magazine more hip or at least have a section on travel for the younger crowd.
Budget Travel International Subscription Flunks My one year Budget Travel (international) subscription has just finished and I have received only 5 out of 10 issues. Since only 50% (!) of my subscription actually reached me, Budget Travel actually deserves ZERO stars.
Budget Travel sells international subscriptions, but in reality they are not able to offer this service. In addition, their online "Subscriber Services" do not work correctly to change addresses or report missing issues.
Unfortunately my Budget Travel subscription has been more of a hassle than anything else. I won't be recommending this subscription to anyone!
