Which travel experts are you? We've shared some of our favorite travel hacks that will help you save money on your next trip. When it comes to holidays and travel, you can feel like your money is constantly disappearing from your bank account, but it doesn't have to be expensive all the time.
In a recent Tiktok video, travel experts shared how to change how you book flights, accommodations and other large purchases. Regarding booking sites, we recommend switching devices. The expert explained: “If you use a booking site like Booking.com (…), always check the price of your mobile, not your laptop.
“It could be something like 20% off or something like that.”
But they also pointed out another way you might save some money. Don't be afraid to contact your airline or hotel directly.
The expert continued. “But it's worth contacting the hotel directly and see if you can beat the best price you find. Even if you can't, you'll often throw perks like free room upgrades and breakfast.”
The expert, who won his second annual crude award last summer, pointed out many sites and companies that hide fees. This means you'll pay more than you negotiate.
While some travel sites seem to offer the cheapest headline prices, there are many hidden costs that customers realize they are facing.
This means that by the time a customer reaches the payment stage, they will face “a hefty fee for baggage”, seat selection, and potential membership.
If you're looking for a wallet-friendly flight, which one? We recommend booking directly with your chosen airline.
They said: “Advice: Always book your flights directly with the airline. Even the best online travel agents are unnecessary intermediaries that make your holidays difficult.”
Which one? We also advised people who buy train tickets when they are at the station, especially if they are traveling in the UK. Instead, choose to buy online in advance.
Finally, don't book your flight at the last minute.
Which one? “If you set a price alert 2-6 months in Skyscanner or Google Alert, you can book a flight when the price drops.”
