How is Ebay useful for a traveler?
Ebay is a platform where you can sell or buy almost anything. Today we will look at how Ebay can be useful for travelers.
Vouchers for food and drinks
On Ebay, you can find many different vouchers, usually for free alcoholic beverages on United or Delta airline flights. A voucher is a coupon for 1 free alcoholic drink.
Vouchers are often sold in packs of several. Typically, buying a voucher saves you about 50% on the cost of a drink.
How to find? Enter “united drink coupon” or “united drink voucher” in the search bar
Lounge access coupons
If you have to spend several hours at the airport, for example during a long layover, you can look for a coupon for free entry to the lounge.
Here, United vouchers are also more common, although you can also find Delta, Qantas, Korean Air, and other airline vouchers.
How to find? Enter “airline club passes”, “lounge pass” or specify a particular airline, such as “delta sky club,” in the search bar
Baggage tags
Privileged members of airline bonus programs receive special baggage tags. What advantage do they offer? Definitely, on flights of that airline, your luggage will be handled more carefully; it will be the first to be loaded onto the plane and the first to be taken off.
Some tag owners claim that they help get a free upgrade when checking in for a flight, even if you don’t have privileged program member status, but how true this is, is unknown. :)
How to find? Enter “airline name + baggage tag” or “airline baggage tags” in the search bar
Airline Duty Free discount coupons
We managed to find discount vouchers for Air Canada’s duty-free store. 2 vouchers are priced at $25. Thanks to them, you can save:
$30 on purchases of $150 or more, plus get 750 bonus miles to your account.
$20 on purchases of $100 or more, plus get 500 bonus miles.
How to find? Enter “duty free coupon” in the search bar.
Flight ticket voucher
Such vouchers are rare, but sometimes they can be found. If an airline, due to overbooking, did not board you on the flight, it issues a voucher for a certain amount as compensation. Typically, such a voucher is valid for only 1 year, and if the passenger cannot use it in time, the most reasonable solution would be to sell it. Vouchers are always personalized, but this should not scare you; when booking a ticket, you enter its number, and the amount is automatically recalculated taking into account the voucher amount. Most often, such lots are not offered at a fixed price, but at an auction for about 50–60% of the face value.
How to find? Enter “Airline Voucher” in the search bar.
