Sign Up!
Find out which airlines fly the most from your local airport and sign up to their email lists. While it’s true that some of what you will receive won’t benefit you, be sure to read each email every day. It only takes one time for you to find the right flight at the right price!
If you aren’t sure which airlines operate the closest to you or you wanted to broaden your search, sign up for aggregate sites which find deals from existing sites.
Package Away!
Along with cheap flights, hotels also offer deals. However, there are sites which help you to combine the two. Pages like the Groupon Coupons page for Orbitz finds you cheap deals on travel and accommodation and low prices.
Pack Light
Many of the deals you will see come through your inbox won’t include any checked baggage. While this can seem unacceptable at first, don’t let it get in the way. There are plenty of tricks you can do to help pack more clothes than you thought you could into a carry-on.
Don’t Discount a Hostel
The days of hostels being filled with 21-year-olds drinking at all nights are long gone. Now, more and more hostels are gearing their services towards budget-minded travelers who aren’t looking to party.
Be Ready
Many of the best travel deals happen at the last minute, with mere hours to get to the check-in counter. If you are really interested in getting away for the weekend, take a carry-on bag to work with you and monitor the airline sites for last minute offerings. If you aren’t too bothered where you go, this is a great way to see the world without depleting your bank account.
Traveling is one of the best ways to expand your mind and give your position in the world some clarity. If you love the idea, but your budget has been holding you back, these tips are great ways to get you on that plane!
