Home Exchanging is Just the Beginning When Saving Money
Most people pay far more than they need to when they travel. This is the first of several posts I shall be making to this blog and also to the Exchangehomes Forum, listing how the savvy home exchangers can continue saving significant amounts of money.
Tip One: Travel Out of Season
Without a doubt, traveling out of season when no-one else is, is a great way to save significant money. When you travel at high demand, peak vacation time, you can quite easily end up paying double, possibly even triple the cost of your ticket. On the other hand, if you travel out of season, you will discover that airlines will sell you a ticket at a much reduced price. It also offers the great benefit of no crowds, in comparison the usually busy locations are almost serene.
Tip Two: Be Flexible With Your Dates
You will usually find that airline fares tend to be cheaper Tuesday through Thursday. Utilize one of several online fare finders that allows you to search for flexible dates such as CheapTickets.com. Fares are normally cheaper if your stop-over includes a Saturday.
Tip Three: Plan Ahead and Book Well in Advance
By booking early, as long as a year in advance you could reap huge benefits.
Tip Four: Shop Early in the Morning
It’s a fact that airlines post their best fares around 6AM PST. Even better, shop on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Airlines know that a lot of travelers are shopping for tickets on Mondays, so they wait to lower their prices until these days.
This series will continue later.
