How can Travel be Economic?
When it’s vacation time, travel is sure on everyone’s cards. Be it a short-lived trip with the girl gang, a destination vacation with family or the nth honeymoon with your spouse, we all need a little getaway, an escape from our bustling daily lives and chores. It’s times like these when travel is on one’s cards.
Travel is expensive, but the key to travelling lies in budgeting the travelling cost, not compromising on the destination. Cheap air tickets can really prove to be a blessing when you’ve got a short hand on spending. And even if you don’t, you sure wouldn’t deny a cheaper deal.
Here are a few ways you can lessen your travel cost:
1) Pre-decide your travel: When your travel is pre-decided, you have more window for booking your ticket or waiting until you crack the best deal. This will save you a lot of urgent charges and also give you your preferred choice of airline.
2) Socialise: We all love bragging about our travel on social media. Use the facility to brag about the deals too. Now-a-days, the best and the most effective way of promotion is the social media. Before taking decisions, go through the official page of the social media accounts of these websites and look for the best schemes.
3) Ransack the internet: When you’re on the look for grabbing some cheap deals, ensure you have thoroughly been through each site, multiple times in incognito mode so that you are not disappointed when you leave the site.
4) Use your junk-box: The inbox is the biggest box of junk. Go through your emails and check for emails of deals, offers and schemes from your bankers and other merchants.
5) Choose a connecting flight: Time is money. Choosing a connecting flight may increase your time of travel, but it will certainly bring down your cost. Instead of opting for direct flights, this option fits better.
6) Choose wisely: The day of travel and the flight, both have a significant impact on the cost of your travel. Choosing to fly on a weekday over the usual weekends will reduce your cost considerably. Also, another important aspect is the airline that you choose. Choosing a low-frill airline works best. Ditch the brand name and opt for a budget airline. After all, a pair of jeans still solves the purpose just as much, where from Benetton or from Bangkok, isn’t it?
We hope this helps you organise your travel better. Happy flying!
