Saving for your holiday

No matter how you slice it, going on holiday always costs money. So if you don't already have a budget, it might be a good idea to start by save moneywhich you can do by setting aside a little each month, selling or renting out things you don't need, and reviewing your monthly expenses. Then, it's time to plan for and find a cheaper travel. Here are our seven tips for finding cheaper travel:

1. Travelling in the low season

If you are able to travel in the low season and avoid school holidays, your trip will almost always be significantly cheaper. Many destinations can also be nice and quieter in the early or late season.

2. Travelling on public holidays

It can often be cheaper to travel on public holidays, such as Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve or New Year's Day. Many people don't want to 'spoil' the holiday with a flight - so if you choose to get on a plane on one of these days, you can get a better price.

3. Travelling at inconvenient times

Just as many people do not want to travel on Christmas Eve, many people do not want to travel in the middle of the night. Therefore, you can often find cheaper prices on flights that depart, or arrive, during the darkest hours of the day.

Are you able to choose the time of the week for your weekend trip? Keep in mind that it may be cheaper to book Tuesday-Saturday than Thursday-Sunday. Some companies may have a discount calendar that you can check to find the best prices.

4. Check out offers and discounts

Travel companies sometimes come up with different offers, discounts and promotions. To keep track, you can subscribe to newsletters or follow them on social media. You can also check for last-minute offers from charter companies.

5. Choose destinations with good local prices

It is not only the price of the airline ticket and hotel that matters. The local price situation also has an impact on the overall cost of the trip. For example, you can check the Forex holiday index to find countries where you can get great value for money.

6. Compare travel companies online

To find travel companies with good and affordable options, it's a good idea to make online comparisons based on other customers' reviews. Omdomesstalle.se is a platform where customers leave independent reviews of companies in different industries, including travel and holiday companies.

7. Make a budget and plan travel expenses

Last but not least, it can be a good idea to make a budget and plan your travelling expenses, in order to save money during your holiday. There are many different expenses during a trip, such as coffee, restaurants, transport, sightseeing, entertainment and shopping. By having a rough plan, and deciding how to prioritise, you can prevent costs from spiralling out of control.
