SHARES ESSENTIAL BUDGET TRAVEL TIPS
• Everyone deserves to have fantastic travel experiences; however, Travel To Go knows that not every individual is able to have a luxury vacation with no worries of going over budget. In fact, for many travelers, such as student travelers or large families, vacations are events that have to be planned and carefully saved for in order to be possible. Fortunately, it does not have to be difficult to vacation on a budget, especially when individuals are employing these tips from Tommy Middaugh of Travel To Go.
Eat on the cheap: One of the best ways to save on vacation is being clever about meals. Food is often one of the top expenses on a vacation, so when a traveler can cut down on these costs it can help them stay on budget and will leave them some wiggle room for other expenses. Travelers who can cook their own meals during the vacation will also save some serious bucks. Tommy Middaugh additionally shares that eating local authentic or street food can save them money when in destinations abroad as touristy restaurants may be overpriced.
Avoid unexpected fees when flying: When planning a flight, Tommy Middaugh shares that it is important for travelers to do their research thoroughly. The last thing that they want it is to be hit with an extra fee, especially for things like luggage. Find out about the airline’s fees and restrictions well in advance and follow them carefully to avoid surprises. Additionally, always pack light to ward off checked baggage fees as well.
• Travel during the off-season: Each and every destination has a peak season for travel. During these peak seasons, it can be very expensive to visit and crowded to boot. However, if travelers visit a destination during its off-season, they can find huge saving on accommodations, dining, transportation, and entertainment. Additionally, Tommy Middaugh shares that it is a good idea to fly during the least popular flight days in the week to save on the way to a destination as well.
