Now the summer season is starting and many of us are jetting off to foreign countries, or packing up the boot of the car and settling in for a long car journey. Some of us probably haven't even started looking yet and going to pick up last minute deal.
Now for booking a holiday I've found a few tips on how this could be made cheaper for you.
- When looking for holidays and flights always search for this in a "Private" or "Incognito" Window. This means that the travel companies are unable to save and track cookies to what you have been searching for. Most companies will use this information and cause the cost of a flight or a hotel to increase. You have to be sneaky with that one.
- Using comparison sites actually work, if your hotel you are staying in are on them. Sometimes phoning them direct it can be cheaper than using a comparison site.
- Try and avoid travel agents whether these are Hoseasons, Haven or Thomas Cook for instance. If you can book the accommodation with the place you are staying directly it can be cheaper due to the fact you aren't paying for there fees.
- Look in advance... I find booking a hotel at the airport is cheaper in January time for a holiday in August, September, October.
- Use Black Friday and other big deal events to your advantage. Lots of companies are using these events to put on nice deals.
- Look at flights and hotels around Christmas Time, it might sound weird and the last thing anyone is thinking of at that time of year. However so travel companies and airlines place big deals on because they know people aren't going to be looking into this sort of stuff at that time of year.
These are just a few tips on how to holiday plan. I hope they were helpful plus if you have any of your own then please let me know.
