It's no secret that when you are travelling or looking to book a travel trip you need to be saving. There are different ways that you can save for different travel scenarios but you need to be prepared to spend time in order to be able to save.
Transport
It's important to look and make sure that you are booking your transport for your destination in the best possible way. Sometimes if you are doing a long haul flight it can be cheaper to book a flight with a stopover but this will make your journey longer so you need to decide which you want to sacrifice. Some airlines offer a system where you can collect air miles and if you think you will be flying with the airline frequently it is something that is worth collecting as they can total up to allow a free flight in the future. Some cities will have more than one airport which will mean that it can be cheaper to fly in to one of the airports.
Train tickets are best being booked in advance which can be done at least 12 weeks before your journey. A rail card is worth getting if you are someone who gets the train on a regular basis.
Accommodation
When it comes to booking accommodation for your trip its best to research to make sure that you are getting the best type of accommodation that you can for your money. It's important to consider the location of your accommodation to make sure that it's not going to cost too much in transport for getting around whilst you are on your trip. Some hotels offer free nights if you are staying for so many nights which can be worth doing. Hotels.com also offer an awards scheme where if you book so many nights with them you can earn a free nights stay.
On Location
Before going on your holiday it's best to do some research in to what you want to do whilst on your holiday in case there is anything that you have to pay for which can be cheaper to book in advance. Some attractions will have a certain time when they are free to enter or will be discounted.
Do you have any other ways that you like to save money whilst on your travels?
