holiday booking hacks// booking the perfect holiday for less

every loves going on holiday around this time a year but i bet nobody even realized that there are 8 top hack to booking cheaper flights. everybody loves a holiday and even in peak holiday times there is a chance of getting cheaper flights and hotels so keep an eye out and try out these hack and let me know if any of these have helped you out at all.

1. Sign up for all the email alerts/ look for deals

Prices change…a lot. How much? Sometimes as much as 3 times per day. Sign up to newsletters and deals from your favorite airlines to find out about sales in advance. Also consider signing up for price alerts to monitor a particular flight route and see when the price fluctuates to ensure you book at the cheapest price. also looking for the deals on the site in which you have signed up to the emails for is the best idea as there are some holidays for a week that are going for around 300 pound or less and some of these are holidays that are 700+ pounds its a saving of more than half price

2. Know the best time to buy your tickets

6-8 weeks out of the fly date is usually the best time to buy (with an exception for flash sales and deals). try looking nearer the time of wanting to fly for cheaper deals on the same destinations ive looked and seen a massive difference a lot more saving so that you can save extra money to take with you for buying stuff whilst out such as memorabilia 

3. Buy on Tuesdays and Wednesdays

But what about knowing when to buy? Mid-week is more often than not the best day of the week to purchase flight tickets.

4. Use an Incognito Browser

Ever searched for a flight, returned to re-search the same flight a few days later and seen a massive price hike? It’s true, your search history can be monitored by airlines. To avoid price hikes, use a private window in your browser to search undetected.

5. Compare all of your options

Its no secret Ive seen people use website Skyscanner when booking and comparing flights – but that’s not to say that that they always find the best deal there. While most of the airlines are on that website with often the best deals, however they have on occasion found better deals elsewhere – be it on a different flight comparison website or going through the airline direct. I find the best way to ensure you save THE MOST amount of money is to search on a flight comparison booking engine, then take a look elsewhere to ensure you’re getting the best deal. 

6. Travel Off-Season

This is an obvious one, but it saves a lot of money so it is well worth a mention when considering cutting the cost of flights. If you don’t have a destination in mind but can only travel at a particular time of the year, consider that it is always going to be off-season somewhere in the world. Be brave – branch out – and go somewhere new. Experience a city or country when the streets aren’t filled with tourists elbowing one another in the line for an ice cream and trust me, you won’t regret it!

7. Make Stop-Overs

Another great way to save money on flights is to fly in-direct and make one (or multiple) stopovers along the way. This will almost always be cheaper and can sometimes result in an impromptu day-long excursion into a new city or country you haven’t previously explored. Win-Win!

8. Collecting Miles – Yes, No, Maybe!?

Definitely! But should you pay more for a ticket with your preferred airline in exchange for accumulating points? Of course it totally depends on your personal preference. If you have a preferred airline you like to travel with and use your points to upgrade your seats (assuming you travel a lot), then it is definitely a good idea to stay loyal. However if you’re looking to save the most money, consider flying with cheaper airlines and going for the ‘best deal’ each time, rather than relying on points systems.
