Cheap travel – my tips 1
Everything I know about cheap travel
.
Two most important factors for saving as much money as possible while traveling are FLEXIBILITY and PREPAREDNESS.
.
AIRPLANE TICKETS
.
Flexibility is much needed in process of buying airplane tickets. Generally, Tuesday and Wednesday tickets usually cost less. On the other side, of course, flying during (before) weekend is more expensive..
Facebook groups make searching for sales easier. They’re up to date and do the work instead of you – it’s the fastest way of being in touch with what is on right now.
.
Another effective option is receiving email newsletter – after choosing your preferred airport, you will receive emails with sales and special offers for example on skyscanner or flightor.
.
If you have the exact destination in mind, use price alert (watchdog) a website service to wait for the best price. As soon as it drops, you willreceive an e-mail.
.
Generally, switching to incognito mode and deleting browser’s history is very helpful.
.
Finally, it’s usually cheaper to buy tickets straight through the airline’s official website so you won’t pay additional service tax of another site. When I’m combining flights, I use azair, which searches for the best possible combination and then redirects me directly to the site.
.
ACOMMODATION
.
Prices of accommodation also depend on flexibility. If you’re flexible enough to sleep on somebody’s couch for free (even though you’re expected to bring a gift or to pay for groceries etc.), couchsurfing is suitable for you. Most of the hosts are sociable people that love company and are interested in other cultures. 
.
If you’re interested in unusual accommodation, you can find those for cheap on airbnb. If you don’t have airbnb account yet, gain your first 25 € credit by clicking on this link.
.
Watch out, I’ve found the same accommodation with different names and different prices several times! Do your research.
