Find it, buy it
Once you find the
travel deal that you want to get after you have shopped around, make sure that
you print out a receipt for your confirmation. This will be your proof of
purchase especially if you have already paid for your tickets online with a
credit card. You will want to have this if there is a question about your
purchase for any reason at all.
Here are some more money saving travel
suggestions:
- Check detour flights other than the straight one you’re bound to get when you
inquire. You can get cheaper overall prices if you choose to book two flights
instead of one. Some people have been able to save as much as $2000 by doing
this.
- It is always better to buy food at the grocery and cook it yourself rather
than eating everyday at a restaurant. You won’t want to spend all of your
pocket money on food. Restaurants tend to have cheap and sometimes unhealthy
food, ensure your own health as well as your pockets health by cooking your
own, that is, after all, the reason why there’s a stove in your hotel room.
- Travel to places which boast of natural beauty but have lower costs of living,
prices here tend to be lower. Take the Philippines
or Malaysia
for example, both have great views and tourist spots but come without the
hassle of overpricing, English speaking natives are also a plus for these
countries.
- If you’re planning to stay for more than a week, call the hotel that you’d
want to stay in and ask for week long stay discounts, these can range for
percentages off your room price or even a “free day.”
- Package deals usually save a lot, airfare and lodgings combined into one are
usually cheaper compared to paying for them separately. Some travel agencies
even provide trio packages which include airfare, hotel and car rental, you can
save a lot if you have the industriousness to canvass.
- Find web-only discounts or coupons which some hotels and airline owners
provide especially for those willing to reserve online. You can save as much as
50% on your travel costs by going this way.
