Quality time is vital to many people. Airline companies have chose to increase special deals this holiday season. Maybe it’s the home cooked meals or that special person who makes you feel welcome at their home. The holiday season is the best time to share it with someone and traveling shouldn’t have to cost a fortune. Here are a few traveling tips that can help you get extra spending money to have a fantastic time.
- Most airlines allow you to bring one carry-on up to 50 lbs and one checked bag without charging you extra for it.
Tip #2 Find the Deals. The best time to buy an airplane ticket is at the beginning of the week on a Tuesday or Wednesday. Searching for the best airline tickets can be one thing but it can be a whole other tale when trying to find a excellent deal on a nice hotel at the last minute. Booking hotels online is a fantastic way to find nice hotels at discounted prices. Hotel companies usually have buy two, get one free deals. Often, hotels will give extra discounts when using your AAA card. If you have the luxury of having someone pick you up and drop you off at the airport then go for it. Don’t be worried to question. If not, you can save money by purchasing a shuttle pass online. Sure it may take a small extra time, but that time could save you over $100 to spend towards something else.
Tip #3 Forget the Extras. There are a lot of different kinds of extra insurance, protection, special seating arrangements, and upgrades that employees have to offer but customers are allowed to say no if they do not wish to buy. It would be nice if V.I.P treatment could come less expensive, but upgrades can be costly. When traveling from point A to point B the bare minimum would get you there just as the luxury treatment. The difference in savings is equivalent to a week’s worth of eating out for two people.
Tip #4 Split Tickets. Split ticketing is simply buying a one way ticket from where you live to a foreign destination and purchasing another one-way ticket from the foreign destination to your home town. The difference can be $1,000 or greater. You will only save money if the foreign destination has a weak currency.
Tip #5 Buy a Flight and Hotel package. It may sound like a gimmick at first, but booking a hotel plus flight package will save you money rather than booking an airplane ticket alone.
