Holiday Monday Saving Tips: 6 Ways to Save
Buying all-inclusive holidays
If you don’t have a lot of time to do research, this is the quickest and easiest way. Followed by booking hotel and travel all on one app such as Trip.com.
Renting apartments instead of hotels
Finding apartments to rent could save you 30% or more when compared to booking a hotel.
Not only will you have more space, but you can also save further by using the kitchen to cook. Most hotels charge for laundry where as apartments tend to come with washer dryers. We do advise checking apartment reviews thoroughly to ensure that other guests have had a good stay.
Booking at the right time
It makes sense to book early however you would be surprised how much you can save on last minute bookings as operators have an urgency to fill hotel rooms and plane seats.
Using Googles flight search can bring up the cheapest dates and periods for flights and hotels. Its very handy to sign up to price notifications on apps like Trip.com so you get notified when the price for flights or hotels drops to your preference.
Plan to start your trip at the right time
Its always cheaper to go during less busier periods outside of or towards the end of the school holidays.
The more the merrier for your pockets
Why not consider traveling with other families? Take advantage of group booking contracts and referral coins by sharing inviting friends to platforms like Trip.com. one referral gets you 1200 coins which is around £10. As you climb the membership tiers the number of coins you earn increases and free benefits such as E Sims, airport lounge access becomes available.
Using credit cards to buy flights
Credit can offer benefits such as 1% cash back or air miles which can be exchanged for free flights once you build up enough miles. They also tend to have a bonus period where you can accumulate double points in the first one to three months of use.
However, air miles are not usually available on budget airlines so consider the destination you will be travelling to and the carrier you will be using before applying for a credit card.
