4 Cheap Online Travel Tips


Want to save money on your next holiday trip? We’ve compiled some cheap online travel tips to help you go anywhere for less.

Tip #1 Preparation is Key

If you really want to save money on your next trip, you need to think and plan ahead. Don’t count on a miracle deal. If you buy your tickets for a summer trip in the December or January before, 9 times out of 10 you’ll find the best deal. You’ll want to try booking at least 6 weeks in advance.
It also helps to do your searches incognito. Believe it or not, the cookies in your browser will alert sites that you’ve frequently searched for the same trip, and prices will go up. Don’t let them in on your travel plans, and you’ll get a better deal.

Tip #2 Be Flexible

This might seem to be in direct contrast with the previous tip, but being flexible with your departure dates can help you save money on travel. Use online airline ticket booking websites like Kayak or Hipmunk that help you search for the best rates over extended periods of time.
And the same goes for those red-eye flights. Sure, it’s tough making it to the airport at 6am for a flight, but it’s your choice whether sleep or cash in your pocket matters more. The same goes for flying in and out on weekdays. It may not be the most convenient, but your wallet will thank you.

Tip #3 Travel Off-Season

Traveling during the most popular times of the year can be very expensive. And if you’re looking for cheap online travel deals, planning your trip during an off-season could end up saving you hundreds.
Besides, not only will it be cheaper to fly, but it will be cheaper on the ground too. And with fewer tourists around, you can really experience your destination with the locals! As long as you’re flexible with your time and pack for the weather, the upsides could be endless!

Tip #4 Do Your Homework

These days, everyone is on social media, and that includes airlines. Why not check their Facebook or Twitter pages to see if they have any deals?
Otherwise, do your research. Check multiple websites. Call multiple travel agencies. Gather as much information as you can before committing to a ticket. Then you’ll have more money to spend at your holiday destination.

Why You Need to Go to Easter Island Now, in 16 Photos

Image
Formed 3 million years ago by an underwater volcanic eruption, the island of Rapa Nui is a mere 63-square-mile triangular speck deep in the South Pacific—2,237 miles from the coast of its home country, Chile. Visiting the island, made famous by its mysterious statues known as moai—and commonly known by its colonial name Easter Island (after Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen landed on Easter Sunday in 1722)—takes some well-rewarded effort. Nothing prepares you for a meeting in person with those statues; their weirdness and size are only emphasized by a barren landscape overrun with wild horses. The ghosts of history and the island’s remoteness create an almost spiritual vibe. There’s more, though: beautiful beaches, epic surfing, world-class diving, and a Rapanui people determined to preserve their Polynesian heritage. It’s well worth the long haul. Ahu Tongariki Ahu Tongariki, also known as the Fifteen, is a line of moai on a 720-foot-long ceremonial platform called an ahu. This...
