5 Hacks To Help You Save Money On Your Next Holiday

Traveling is fun, but it can also be expensive. However, if you apply these few tips, you can start saving money on your next holiday:

Always Book In Advance

We all love a spontaneous holiday, but it can sometimes be bad for our bank balance. If you want to save money every time you travel, you should book things in advance.

Flights get more and more expensive the closer they come. If you book a flight a few months in advance, you can save so much cash compared to if you book it a week in advance. So, plan ahead and make sure you think about your holiday’s months ahead of when you leave.

You can also save money on hotels as well, but the main savings come from the flights.

Ask For Upgrades

You don’t get anything in life without asking for it. So, if you want to make some savings on your holiday, make sure you ask for upgrades at various points.

When you reach the airport and are getting ready for your flight, it makes sense to ask the person at the check-in desk whether they have any upgrades to a better class.

You may get lucky, and they’ll have a free upgrade to first class going spare for you and your family. This way, you get the benefits of first-class travel, but you didn’t pay full price for it. So, you’ve essentially saved a load of money and given yourself a better travel experience too.

But, the fun doesn’t stop there either; you can try and get an upgrade at your hotel too. It’s amazing how easy it is to get an upgraded room for free. It all depends on what’s available or not for that night.

Remember, if you don’t ask, you don’t get. Ask the person checking you in if they have any rooms bigger and better than yours. If you want to be really cheeky, and you’re traveling with a partner, pretend it’s your honeymoon to try and get bumped up to the honeymoon suite.

Again, you get more value for money here as you originally only paid the price of a standard room, but get to stay in a better one.

Look For Discount Codes

Discount codes are a really easy way to cut the price of your holiday. The thing is, many travel websites and hotel sites are coy with their codes. So, you often have to visit sites to find the codes you need.

If you’re really lucky, you can find codes for airlines, hotels, public transport, and make some huge savings. Also, it’s worth pointing out there could be student discount codes for some travel sites too. So, if you’re a student, make sure you check this beforehand to save a load of money.

Book Package Deals

A lot of people go through the effort of booking their transport and accommodation separately. But, you can save a lot of money if you look for a package deal.

These are deals that combine both things into one payment and can help you save money compared to if you bought them separately.

There are plenty of airlines that work with hotel companies to provide their customers with better deals when they book through them. So, when you’re booking your flights, look at the hotels they offer and see if you can save money.

Avoid Paying For Luggage

Paying for luggage feels like one of the most pointless holiday expenses there is. You already have to pay for yourself to travel; now you have to pay for a suitcase?

The worst thing is, it can turn a relatively cheap flight into something far more expensive, which puts you off traveling in the first place. Luckily, you can make things much cheaper if you avoid paying for luggage as much as possible.

When you fly, airlines will only charge you for luggage that gets put in the hold. This means you usually get to bring a bag of your own onto the flight for free. What you should do is try and fit everything in this bag.

It doesn’t even have to be a small bag; it can still be a little suitcase. Cram as much stuff inside this bag as possible and you can travel without paying for luggage. Or, if you have loads of luggage and can’t avoid paying for some, you can still apply this tip.

Fill your hand luggage as much as you can, and it may mean you only have to pay for one hold bag instead of two.

Start saving and stop letting money be a worry on your holiday!
