"Susan Sherren, founder of luxury travel consulting company Couture Trips, prefers Allianz travel insurance for her trips, but her bottom line is this: When faced with lost luggage, you’ll have an easier time dealing with your travel insurance than with the airline. “Purchase travel insurance,” she says. “Most plans vary on their coverages, but it is [more] ideal to submit a claim with them than to wrangle with airlines who don’t even pick up their phones.”

If you must go to a hot destination in the middle of the summer, don't try to do it yourself. Hire an expert.
"Fortunately, as a travel consultant, I have connections with local suppliers who can access the hotel inventories and are connected with hotel management," says Susan Sherren, founder of Couture Trips, a travel agency.
You'll have to pay full price plus a fee to your agent, but you will get that dream vacation to Sicily or that magical theme park experience in Orlando this summer.
So which of these summer vacation strategies is right for you? All of them — or maybe none. It really depends on where you're going.
