One of the best ways to save on overseas holiday expenses is to travel in the off-peak season. Both fares and hotel rates are discounted considerably at this time. If you are thinking of hitting the high spots in Europe, their peak time is from the end of May till about mid-August. You can pay up to $258 less for economy fares before or after this time. October to mid-November is still a great time to visit Europe and you'll get lots of low-season discounts. Hotel tariffs can be reduced by up to 15%. Destination is also important when cutting costs. Bangkok is considerably cheaper than Kuala Lumpur or Singapore should you wish to reduce your jet lag by sleeping over somewhere. When making your decision, take into account that the price you see for hotel rooms in Singapore does not include all the extras, which can mount up to an extra $50 per night. Or if heading to France, try the north rather than the south for cheaper rates. Using discount airlines for your flight is another way to shave a bit extra off your costs. Jetstar and AirAsia are both considerably cheaper than others. Their respective websites will tell you which airports they can be accessed from. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
