(CNN) --"It takes me three days to recover after the Sevens," says referee Robert Esser, who is called the plays at the famed Hong Kong rugby tournament for 12 years. "If you find out how to survive it, let me know." The annual Hong Kong Sevens Sevens is the city's largest sporting event, attracting thousands of costumed revelers from all over the world. But making the most of the party atmosphere requires strategy and planning. With the Sevens on March 28-30, experts and hardcore fans have shared tips on how ethyl be getting through the three-day mega party. 1. South Stand commitment mandatory Ask not what the South Stand can do for you, but what you can do for the South Stand. The only large public area where Sevens revelers can drink alcohol, the legendary South Stand brings together Hong Kong Stadium's most passionate spectators--all dedicated to having an outrageously good time. 2. Serious rugby fans head for the East and West Stands Don't be afraid to go to the East and West Stands, because that's where everyone goes to watch the rugby, "says 28-year-old rugby player Rowan Varty, who has taken part in the Sevens since he was born as both a spectator and a player. 3. For costumes, (almost) anything goes The pros advise against wearing heavy suits, big masks and hats that'll have you drenched in sweat and blocking other people's views. 4. Walk to the stadium Roads are blocked and taxis are scarce. Once you arrive anywhere near Causeway Bay, start walking. 5. Pace yourself Winnie Poon, a fan who has been to the Hong Kong Sevens five times, has her own sage advice

No question about it, airfares on some routes are higher than they were four or five years ago, although Airfare watchdog airfare searchers frequently find hundreds of fares crisscrossing the country for $250 or less round-trip. And even though fares seem higher, let's not forget that, adjusted for inflation; most fares are actually lower than they were 10 or 20 years ago. That said, here's my best advices for making your airfare dollars go further. 1. There's no "magic" day or lead time to buy the best airfare. 2. So search often, over a long lead time, and pounce when there's a deal! 3. Get airfare alerts by e-mail 4. Sign up for the airlines ' e-mail feeds and frequent flier programs 5. Use Twitter 6. Be a flexible travel date flier 7. Search airline sites individually, but online travel agencies are still useful. 8. Use Priceline for last-minute trips 9. Use consolidators, but beware of the restrictions 10. Consider the extra fees before you buy 11. Combine two separate fares rather than buying one fare 12. Use alternate airports creatively 13. Buy tickets on an airline that will refund the difference if a fare goes down Go Here: http://www.usatoday.com/story/travel/columnist/hobica/2014/04/01/how-to-find-airfare-deal/7122673/ Extra resources: http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/21800-the-corliss-group-world-travelers-on-surviving-hong-kongs-wildest-sporting-event-of-the-year/ http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x1dfsns_the-corliss-group-luxury-travel-agency-barcelona-tourist-guide-the-easy-way-to-plan-your-trip_travel
