Overseas Adventure Travel (OAT) offers free single supplements on all 2012 land adventures and pre- and post-trip extensions for savings of up to $1795 on land adventures and up to $495 on trip extensions for solo travelers.
OAT offers 28 land adventures and more than 60 pre-and-post trip options to destinations throughout Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Central and South America, the South Pacific, and Iceland. Included in this offer are new adventures for 2012, among them Burma: Land of Golden Temples & Floating Gardens, Colombia's Colonial Jewels & Caribbean Coast and Mongolia & the Gobi Desert.
 
The single supplement fee has been an issue for solo travelers, who resent paying more for their trip than people who travel with a companion. Because hotel rooms are priced based on double occupancy, OAT has taken a lead in serving solo travelers with free or low-cost single supplements and other opportunities to save, including a free, online travel companion service, a free roommate matching service, and a "solo traveler challenge" that guarantees if a solo traveler finds a comparable international trip at a lower price, OAT will match the price and deduct an additional $500 from the cost of the OAT trip.

The nation’s largest airlines posted an on-time arrival record in December 2011 of 84.4 percent, the highest on-time percentage for any December during the 17 years the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has collected comparable flight delay data. According to DOT’s Air Travel Consumer Report, the carriers also had a 0.8 percent rate of canceled flights, the lowest December cancellation rate for the last 17 years.
 
The December on-time rate posted by the 16 reporting carriers was up from the 72.0 percent rate of December 2010, but down slightly from November 2011’s 85.3 percent, according to data filed with the Department’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). The carriers’ on-time percentage for all of 2011 was 79.6 percent, compared to 79.8 percent in 2010.
 
December’s 0.8 percent cancellation rate was down from December 2010’s 3.7 percent rate but up from November 2011’s 0.7 percent.
 
Airlines also reported no tarmac delays of more than three hours on domestic flights or more than four hours on international flights in December. The larger U.S. airlines have been required to report long tarmac delays on their domestic flights since October 2008. Under a new rule that took effect Aug. 23, 2011, all U.S. and foreign airlines operating at least one aircraft with 30 or more passenger seats must report lengthy tarmac delays at U.S. airports.
 
Also beginning Aug. 23, carriers operating international flights may not allow tarmac delays at U.S. airports to last longer than four hours. There is a separate three-hour limit on tarmac delays involving domestic flights, which went into effect in April 2010. Exceptions to the time limits for domestic and international flights are allowed only for safety, security or air traffic control-related reasons.
 
The U.S. carriers reporting flight delays and mishandled baggage data posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.37 reports per 1,000 passengers in December, down from December 2010’s rate of 4.72, but up from November 2011’s rate of 2.72. For all of last year, the carriers posted a mishandled baggage rate of 3.39 per 1,000 passengers, an improvement over 2010’s rate of 3.51.
 
The report also includes airline reports of involuntary denied boarding, or bumping, for calendar year 2011 and the fourth quarter of last year. The 16 U.S. carriers who report on-time performance and mishandled baggage data posted a bumping rate of 0.81 per 10,000 passengers last year, down from the 1.09 rate posted in 2010. For the fourth quarter of last year, the carriers posted a bumping rate of 0.71 per 10,000 passengers, down from the 0.80 rate for the fourth quarter of 2010.
 
In December, carriers reported five incidents involving the loss, death or injury of pets while traveling by air, down from the seven reports filed in December 2010, but up from November 2011’s total of two. December’s incidents involved three pet deaths, one pet injury, and one lost pet. For all of last year, carriers reported 35 pet deaths, nine pet injuries, and two lost pets. In 2010, carriers reported 39 pet deaths, 13 pet injuries, and five lost pets.
 
In December 2011, the Department received 710 complaints about airline service from consumers, down 6.1 percent from the 756 complaints received in December 2010, and down 18.7 percent from the total of 873 filed in November 2011. For all of last year, the Department received 11,545 complaints, 5.1 percent higher than the 10,988 complaints received in 2010.
