 I'm Peter Greenberg and this is today's Eye on Travel Minute. If I've learned anything from searching for the best airfares on the internet, it's that the lowest fare is not always your friend. In fact, the lowest fare is usually the first fare quoted, and therein lies a trap. In many cases, that first fare is somewhat misleading, because it's actually a basic economy fare, which gives you few rights, and that includes refunds, seat selection, baggage, and in some cases, even the ability to earn mileage. My philosophy?
