Book Two Months in Advance
Booking your travel in advance is key, but the sweet spot is generally two months ahead of travel. Whether it’s a flight, hotel, or rental car, it can often save you money.
Use Price Comparison Websites
Websites like Google Flights, Expedia, Kayak, and Skyscanner are your best friend. They allow you to compare prices for flights, hotels, and rental cars across multiple providers, helping you find the best deal.
Pro Tip! When using Google Flights, use the “explore” option to find destinations you weren’t thinking of that can found at a extremely low price point.
Travel during Shoulder Season
Traveling during Shoulder Season, immediately before and after high Season allows you to enjoy a destination without the tourist and take advantage of the mot ideal weather. It can also result in lower prices for flights and accommodations.
Consider Alternative Accommodations
Instead of staying at your traditional hotel, consider alternatives like hostels(my favorite are capsule), Airbnb, or house-swapping. If These options can often be cheaper and provide a more unique travel experience.
Pro Tip! If you are staying at a single destination for longer than a month, consider contacting a local long-term rental agency.
