Finally the vacation we have been waiting for! So that he doesn't leave a huge hole in the budget, there are enough ways to save money.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose the optimal time frame
Most plan their vacation from Saturday to Saturday - as a rule, it is more expensive. Demand determines the price. Try to choose a flexible time frame - for example, from Wednesday to Wednesday. Flights or trains are often much more profitable.
Step 2
Compare offers
Finding great deals has never been easier than it is now. Cheap tickets can be found on Trip.ru, Aviasales.com, Skyscanner.ru, Anywayanyday.com, Momondo.com. From the offers of hundreds of airlines on these sites, you can choose the most optimal flight.
Take a moment and compare offers. Best of all in the morning on weekdays - on weekends and evenings, offers are often more expensive.
Step 3
Tourist office
The staff of the travel agency always has a few good suggestions in stock! In addition, the travel experts will provide professional advice on how to save money while traveling.
Step 4
Private housing
Hotels are expensive and often not always comfortable. Organize your vacation yourself by choosing a private rental property. Accommodation search sites Agoda.com, Booking.com or AirBNB will help you choose the right affordable accommodation option. This is a good option for a large company to share the cost of renting. Here you will have a kitchen, washing machine and more square meters than a hotel room.
Step 5
All inclusive packages
For families with children, it is economical to take all inclusive. Since food outside the hotel can cost you an amount that sometimes approaches the cost of the trip.
Step 6
Last minute deals and early booking
In both cases, you save your money. There is no big price difference here. Advance booking cuts the price of the package by about 20 percent, just like last-minute deals. If you are flexible enough in the time frame, catch profitable last-minute offers.
Step 7
Excursions
Outside the hotel, prices for excursions are always cheaper - hotels take their own markup. Check out information on sightseeing routes and rent a car. Try to negotiate with one of the vacationers and take a car, dividing the costs in half. Advice: take a car with a Russian-speaking navigator.
Step 8
Food
Of course, food in the city center is more expensive. Avoid the typical tourist restaurants. Inquire in advance about where you can eat inexpensively and deliciously outside the tourist area, in a quiet urban quarter. Ask the bartender at the hotel, he can tell you such places.
