Travel Services, Content & Community

Services:

Cheap Airfare
BootsnAll offers exceptional deals on both international airfare and domestic airfare, thanks to our consolidator airline ticket deals. We’re usually able to beat our competition on price, and most travelers are willing to put up with the few travel restrictions consolidator airfares come with in order to save money on their air ticket.

Hostels
Travelers can search for and reserve a bed in hostels all over the world through our hostel booking engine, but that’s not all. Travelers can rate hostels they’ve stayed in with a quick thumbs-up or thumbs-down click, and our city maps make it so you can see exactly where each hostel is in relation to the sights you want to visit. No more guessing what “within walking distance of downtown” means, you’ll be able to see for yourself.

Hotels
If a stay in a hostel isn’t your thing, no worries - we have thousands of hotels the world over as well. These range from budget hotels through luxury beds, and we’ve got great deals in every price range.

Round the World Travel
With our great round-the-world travel section, you can do everything from research destinations and planning out a budget to booking multi-stop airline tickets. You can read advice from past RTW travelers, and contribute your own words of wisdom when you return from your grand adventure.

Adventure Trips
Even the most independent travelers want someone else to take care of the details sometimes, and our small group adventure trips are just that. These aren’t big-bus tours, these trips are focused on staying in smaller hotels or guest houses, taking local transportation, and having as much of a local experience as possible.

Eurail Passes
Taking the train around Europe is still the most efficient (not to mention old-world romantic) way to travel the continent, and we’ve got every kind of Eurail Pass available. If you’re not sure which one is right for your specific trip, we’ve got an expert on staff who can help you figure that out.

Some of the other services we offer include travel visas, vacation rentals, TEFL courses, airport parking, travel insurance, and travel gear.

Travel Guides
BootsnAll’s travel guides cover more than 50 countries and, at last check, number at nearly 250 guides. This is where to go to find out basic travel information about a country or city, tips on where to stay, as well as travel stories submitted by real travelers. Plus, for the most popular destinations we’ve got city maps with the locations of the top attractions marked. It’s a great way to see exactly where the stuff is that you want to see in a given city. And keep an eye out for more maps to come in the future.

Travel Logues
In addition to the travel guides, we have also created a few location-specific or theme-specific travel logues, too. With these, we are able to dive deeper into a destination or travel theme - to provide more detailed information for travel planning. They’re virtual travel guidebooks which are constantly being updated and improved, keeping the content fresh and timely.

Newsletters
BootsnAll newsletters keep independent travelers informed of what’s new on our site, and what’s new on the travel horizon. Our flagship newsletters are the BootsnAll Monthly Newsletter and the BootsnAll Travel Deals Newsletter, but there are plenty more where those came from - including a monthly newsletter about round-the-world travel, and a daily dose of new BootsnAll travel content. Sign up for any BootsnAll newsletter.

Travel Stories
We have more than 1,000 stories - submitted by real travelers from all over the world - on places spanning the globe. You can read personal experiences from fellow travelers and see where their adventures have taken them. And you can submit your own stories, too, which is a good way to start a portfolio if you’ve got dreams of becoming a travel writer yourself.

Community:

Travel Blogs
We give independent travelers a way to communicate with the folks back home, or just keep a record of their trips, with our travel blogs. They’re completely free, and you don’t even need to be a member to have your own travel blog.

Insiders
BootsnAll has a group of more than 1,000 Insiders from nearly 100 countries who are available to answer the questions that you just won’t find in the travel guides. This is the way to get the inside scoop from a local who knows what’s up - without having to learn the hard way all by yourself.

Travel Discussion Boards
The BootsnAll Community is an extremely active meeting area where members ask questions, discuss travel issues and share resources with one another. Non-members can read most of what’s written, but only members can post their own two cents, so it’s definitely worth joining so you can get in on the conversation first-hand.
