We are now almost 6 months into 2021, and with hopes to be vaccinated, it is time to start making travel plans. And while we all dream of going to faraway places, flying through Business (or First) Class, and staying in ultra-luxury hotels, no one likes to break their holiday bag. Here are the top travel tips and tricks I use to improve my travel expenses.
1.) Start planning and research early
The sooner you hold the key, and the sooner you start your research, the more options you can have for your luxury vacation. Start at least six months ahead of time to look for the best location, resorts, and cheap flights to your destination. Some of the most popular and leading online sites now offer standard inclusive packages and the option to customize a personal trip according to their needs and budget. Remember that an expensive trip will not be cheap and you need to make an effort with it.
2.) Select Offbeat locations
To get the most out of your budget travel, try exploring the lesser-known areas where you save as much as you can. Such places not only provide all the peace and tranquility a person needs on vacation, but it also turns out to be cheaper compared to the popular hot spots in your pockets. There are many offbeat places around the world where one can enjoy his luxury vacation and get the best deals at a very low price.
3.) GET the cheapest flights via GOOGLE
I make good use of the Kayak aircraft search engine when planning my air travel. Kayak checks the price of your requested aircraft for tons of sites simultaneously, including Orbitz and Cheaptickets, and allows for flexibility in your travel days. However, Kayak does not show all prices, which is why I also look at other ticket sellers online (e.g. Travelocity, Hipmunk, Momondo, Hotwire, Skyscanner, and Expedia). Another tool that has helped me a lot in getting a cheap ticket: Google Flights. Very simple tool: just enter your travel dates and destination (city or country), hit ‘explore places’ and Google shows you a map where you can go for a lower price.
4.) Select the Country Where Your Home Money Has an Extra Value
It is always beneficial to go to a place where the value of Indian currency is high given, you manage your expenses well too. Choosing a country that offers a high exchange rate for your local currency proves that it is worthwhile if you spend it carefully rather than in a hurry.
5.) Select Direct Reservation Booking
Most travelers prefer to book a direct stay at the hotel as this eliminates the added commission charged with various inventory gates on their website. While you reduce the commission for travelers and part of the building, you also enjoy a lot of tax savings while booking directly at a hotel, reservation, or any other accommodation option you prefer.
6.) CHECK YOUR FREE HOTELS
If you really want your next vacation to be a luxury trip, you should check out your hotel belongings no matter what. But your hotel services can save you a lot of money on other areas of your trip. For example, a hotel that offers complimentary breakfast will save you the cost of spending too much on food, cutting one-third of your food costs. You can always give up the complimentary breakfast though to explore more varieties of food if you love to savour anything that could be eaten.
