HOW TO TRAVEL ON A BUDGET (BEST HOTEL DEALS. CAR RENTAL. TRIP ADVICE.)

HOW TO TRAVEL ON A BUDGET (BEST HOTEL DEALS. CAR RENTAL. TRIP ADVICE.)

1. Airline Tickets – Plan in advance and
visit discount
websites to see if
there are better
deals. While these
sites might charge you a service fee
($5 or so), they can
easily combine flight
segments from
different airlines
easily to give you a great deal.

 2. Connecting Flights – You might think
connecting sucks but
it sure saves you a
good chunk of
money doing it.
Consider the pros and cons and don’t
write it off right
away.

 3. Travel Light – Airlines are starting
to charge for
everything now and
if you have 2 bags
or more, expect to
be charged for it. Remember to not
use over sized bags
whenever possible
and try to keep it all
within one bag per
person.

4. Substitute – Consider packing
really old clothes (if
you plan to buy new
ones on the trip).
This way, you can
keep one luggage and still have room
for purchases.

 5. Always Look into
Round Trip Tickets – Sometimes, one
way tickets are so
expensive that the
round trip ticket is
cheaper. Just don’t
use the return trip. (I know it’s weird
but I’ve seen it
myself)

6. Try to Get Back to
the Same Airport – Flying in and out
of the same airport
is almost always
cheaper. It’s not
only the flight
tickets but the car rentals as well.

7. Traveling to Two
Countries – If you are planning to stay
in two countries and
an airline makes
you change planes
on those countries
anyway, you might be in luck. Check
pricing on the flights
to see if you can
stay a few days at
the country of the
flight change instead of changing planes
right away since
airlines often let you
do that for the same
price.
