mmy-Hy ' -1 - iq El""' I" f" W'""" j'-' g ' n Travel agents predict crowded holiday skies By ALISSA GRICE Staff Writer Students planning to fly the friendly skies this Christmas had better hurry up and get their tickets. I would suggest students make their flight arrangements as soon as possible," said Ron Waterhouse, station manager of Piedmont Airlines at Raleigh-Durham Airport (RDU). The sooner they can make the reservation, the better break they are going to get on their fares." Waterhouse said that Christmas is usually the busiest time of the year for the commercial airlines. MThe Christmas holiday bookings are very good this year," Waterhouse said. "We expect to have a lot of crowds." He also said that Piedmont tried to make it advantageous for custo mers to fly rather than to drive. "Some fares you can get up to 70 percent off, (depending on) whether or not you meet restrictions," Water house said. Ted Padgett, station manager of TWA at RDU, said TWA's holiday traffic would be very heavy and most flights were already booked to capacity. Padgett suggested that if people weren't familiar with where they were going, they should consult a travel agent. "You're able to sit down and ask (travel agents) as many questions as you wish," Padgett said. Travel agents in the Chapel Hill area are helping students plan their Christmas traveling itinerary. Marie Katlett, an agent at Small World Travel Agency of Chapel Hill Inc. on East Franklin Street, said the Christmas season is not as bad as Thanksgiving because students have more days to work with when making their plans. For those students who haven't booked flights yet, there is hope, but they will probably have to pay higher fares. "All airlines raise their Super Saver rates from $20 to $50 over Christmas, except weVe noticed that Piedmont has kept to their regular prices," Katlett said. "Also, a lot of students think that travel agents charge a fee, but that's not true," she said. "It's free. We get Sting to play Smith Center in January Former Police frontman Sting will perform at the Smith Center Thurs day, Jan. 28.

There will be an eight ticket limit, and no one may camp out or form lines before 6:30 a.m. Friday morning.

WERE FIGHTING FOR OURUFE a commission from the airlines, and they're the same fares that the airlines would offer." Katlett said that making travel arrangements is easier this holiday. In the past, customers made reser vations 30 days in advance but paid for the tickets a couple of days before the flight. "But with the Super Saver tickets you have to buy them within 24 hours, so that has helped us," she said. "Before, people would change reser vations, but they can't do that with the non-refundable Super Saver tickets now." Louanne Keichline, certified travel counselor at Viking Travel Service at Kroger Plaza, said that Dec. 17 through Jan. 4 will be the period of heaviest air travel. "The New York-Boston market is heavy," Keichline said. "IVe done a lot of bookings to L.A. and San Francisco. Miami is also another heavily booked destination." She said that most people bene fited from early planning. "Also, people waste a lot of time calling each individual airline when they could come to us and get information on all airlines and all availability and the lowest fares available with no service charge," Keichline said. Barbara Kiser, office manager of Continental Travel agency on East Franklin Street, said that prices of flights vary from day to day. "What airlines try to do is make prices lower on days that people don't usually travel to get more people to fly on those less-traveled days," Kiser said. The cheapest round trip ticket on Eastern Airlines from RDU to LaGuardia International Airport is $1 18 if the traveler leaves Dec. 18 and returns Jan. 10. Kiser also gave some helpful tips for travelers.

Travel agents say students "Make sure, when possible, that you get your seating assignment and boarding passes," she said. "Get to the airport early; give them (person nel) at least an hour in advance. Recheck your schedule with the agent or airline about two weeks before you leave, to check for schedule changes." Travelers are also advised to pack light and to get a ride to the airport because parking will be difficult.
