is August a big month for the journey. People from all over the world use the end of the summer as an excuse to take last minute holidays with their families before the school season starts and the refrigerant returns. Europe includes almost like humans the month off to travel. So there is no better way to August to launch with some great travel tips go to make your holiday a bit easier, more comfortable and much cheaper:

fly

1. When booking flights, sometimes it is cheaper to fly to airports other than final destination, and then by train or bus. This is true especially during peak travel periods or festivals. For my last flight to Valencia, the cheapest flight was $ 700 (with 2 stations), as everyone there for La Tomatina tours. Also Ryanair was $ 0 just to fly out of London. However, it was only $ 550 to fly to Madrid and then another $ 50 in order to take the train. I saved $ 100 USD and 6 hours in layover time getting to Valencia before I would otherwise.

2. Always get behind business when. In security lines Families have more material and move much more slowly. frequent flyers know exactly how to move through that line and everything quickly ready before they engage the x-ray machine compartment. I also try to avoid older travelers because they always seem to forget the fluid control.

3. Always find out what type of plane you fly on, so you know how nice the seats and the amenities are not all planes are equal. For example, American Airlines MD-80 does not have installed Wi-Fi, but as of right now smaller Boeing aircraft. Newer versions of the aircraft are also more legroom and more beautiful places in the rule. Not all aircraft have personal TV screens either. If you book your flight, the airlines receive on to tell you what type of aircraft you fly and you can its quality at its seat check Guru, which allows you to see the authentic features and configurations of each level. No one wants to be on a long flight in an old airplane.

property

4. If you like hotels, last minute deals Priceline or Hotwire, you can room more than 60 % discount on the normal price. You can offer your rooms and if you decide to do so, use the site to see better offer what others have recently offer, so you no longer have. I got a room in Times Square during the Christmas season for $ 0 USD per night this way. That's a steal. You do not need to be a member of the Board to the bids of other people asked to see, but you must be a member to post on the forum.

5. When you check in to the hotel, ask for an upgrade. tourism at the moment is very bad, and you are much more likely to only get free upgrades and goodies by. You want to keep customers happy and they go home in order to recommend to others. Use the to your advantage.

6. If you are traveling with 3-4 people, you should get a suite. Couches usually fold make beds that Priceline / Hotwire room was negotiating even cheaper. Four of us shared a king suite in a 4-star hotel in Chicago for $ 50 each per night.

7. If you in a city for a week or more, a furnished apartment for rent cheaper than a hotel. There are many large rental housing through sites like AirBnB, Wimdu, HomeAway and 9Flats. You will people rented apartments and they are always cheaper than a Hilton and have a kitchen so you can cook your food and reduce your spending more. I have written more about this type of travel.

8. You can also sites like Couchsurfing and Hospitality Club no additional charge to stay with locals. I love these pages. I CouchSurfing nearby used a dozen times and have only good interactions had on the sides. It is not only a great place for getting a cheap hotel, but you get to hang out with locals and learn about the city in a way not recommended you could ever teach.

9. Offer Most hostels private rooms, which are cheaper than hotels. You have your own bathroom, new linens every day, free Wi-Fi, and sometimes even a T. V. In New York, my private hostel room was per night $ 80. The closest one star hotel in the area (Central Park) costs $ 0 and not Wi-Fi (but probably some bedbugs) included.

Tourism

10 to obtain. Visit always the local tourist office and a tourist map. Local tourist offices (Think London Tourism, Paris Tourism, New York tourism, etc.) issue tickets for all attractions, tours, and some restaurants. This card gives you free entry or significant discounts on all attractions and tours in the town, free public transport (a big plus) and discounts at some restaurants. the Paris Museum Pass With the purchase, I saved the normal price of $ 85 USD museums from. Most major cities around the world offer this.

11 libraries, Starbucks, and most cafes have free Wi-Fi. instead stuck to pay for Internet access, go to one of these sites.

12 noon is the best time to visit historic sites. groups always go to places in the early morning or late afternoon, but at 13.00, break for lunch, so much shorter lines for major attractions. Conversely, if you are an early riser, you can first be consistent and to beat the waiting time.

food

13. Never eat in a tourist area - the food will be half as good and twice as expensive This is a simple enough tip, but it is often forgotten by people .. Just go cheaper and restaurants to find three blocks in any direction and you are in the area. Disembarking La Ramblas in Barcelona, ​​my friends and I found this tapas restaurant where we ate like kings for 7 euros per person, about half as much as it would have cost to La Ramblas.

14. The locals do not eat there every night and neither should you. to the local supermarket visit to see what the local palate and how to cook a nice dinner. If you do not have a kitchen, where you are, hit the markets and to get a couple of sandwiches in the park for a picnic.

15. Food in expensive restaurants during lunch. Most restaurant offer lunch menus much cheaper than those on the normal dinner menu. This is especially common in Europe. I also have great lunch specials in restaurants in Singapore and Australia. You get a menu, but what you're missing in the selection, you make savings. Do not know where to go? Do not look in the guidebook. Ask your hostel or hotel staff.
