We are always searching for more ways to save money in everything we do, especially in these trying times.
Here are my tops tips for earning and saving money on travel!
Flights
1. Join ALL reward schemes & loyalty programs for airlines & hotels, remember points make prizes!
2. Use a travel credit card like Amex or British Airways. You can earn air miles back on everything you spend on and also redeem for free flights or upgrades.
3. Use airline online shopping websites & earn the air miles back on your shopping.
4. Sign up for airline fare alerts to get the best price as soon as seats are released and get notified as soon as a sale starts!
5. Booking in advance doesn’t always save you money! Booking anything over 11 months in advance is only going to be a guesstimate price.
6. Tuesdays are the best time to BUY an airline ticket.
7. Usually Mondays & Thursdays are the Cheapest days to fly and Fridays & Sundays are the most expensive, so always check alternative dates if you are flexible.
8. Travel out of peak season if you can
9.Use codeshare airlines & do price comparisons with both to get the best price.
Hotels
10. Use hotels that have residences, they are usually cheaper to stay in and you get to use all the hotel facilities.
11. For larger families use Interconnecting rooms or villas for bigger room options.
12. Family programmes - some hotels do BOGOF on rooms, ask the hotel. They also offer free stuff.
13. Find hotels with free facilities like water parks
14. Use local money saving apps for discounts and offers eg; The Entertainer, Groupon etc..
15. And lastly join me and become an independent travel agent because you can save fortune by getting access to travel industry rates!
