We all look forward to holidays and if it’s a big holiday and coming after a long time, the excitement goes through the roof. Most of us get to go on holidays twice or thrice a year, but many don’t have that luxury and can afford a holiday only once a year. So, why pay more on flights and accommodations when you can save up on them and spend it on different things on your holiday and add value to it.
The fact that you need to save money saves you from a lot of tricky situations that you can get into after your holiday. Many of us deliberately set aside money to splurge it on our holiday and then end up in debt. To afford holidays, people to monthly instalments to pay for their trips, do two jobs to make enough money so they can save up to go on a massive shopping spree and some of us take bank loans.
The best way to save up money is to find alternative ways to save up money and that includes hunting for best deals, sticking to a budget that you set yourself in the beginning and the most effective way of saving money is to plan your holiday well in advance.
Saving money on flights is easy. All you have to do is pick a time of the year you are planning your holiday for. Consider a time in which flight rates are lower, and that time of the year is commonly known as ‘off-season’ and plan your holiday around those dates.
If you have to travel in summer then consider the last week of August to the first week of September and if you can delay it until October when the prices get lower dramatically.
You can also save money on travelling to the airport and commuting at your holiday by booking an airport transfer service. Book an airport transfer service well in advance to get cheaper rates and if the company is global you can strike a bargain and use the service on your holiday as well.
Parking at the airport for the entire holiday can cost you a small fortune, but if you book an airport transfer service to go to the airport and book it for your way back, it can save you a lot of money.
