With the holidays approaching, many of us will be traveling
either domestically or internationally. With money being tight and the economy
in the pits, you will want to get the most from your trip without breaking the
bank.
Following are some money saving tips to consider when
planning your next trip:
Pick a good travel agent.
Take shorter trips.
Consider a package deal, which charges one
price.
Know your budget and make it clear what
you want to fit into your budget.
Using a net sales agent may save you up
to fifty percent on airline seats.
Join a travel club.
Do not pay the bill until service has been
rendered. Use a credit card; do not use cash or check.
If you are taking a cruise, consider a
cruise with no tipping policy. You will save money.
Check generic air travel.
Inquire about last minute deals. Someone
may cancel at the last minute.
Study airline promotional fares, and
avoid traveling during peak periods such as July, August and December.
Select budget hotels.
Eat where locals eat.
Read packaged tours carefully and know
what you are receiving.
Comparison shop.
