Are you planning to escape from city life and go to some place new even just for the weekend? It is true; there could be times that your stress level is already too overwhelming that all you can think about are short and fun breaks in Bath. But as a regular employee who earns just a little more than enough, going somewhere other than the nearest cafe can be a challenge.
To help you plan your next great adventure, here are some money-saving tips you should follow.
Stay away from touristy areas
Staying in touristy areas can be expensive. Although you will have easier access to all the perfect spots in the city, spending money on things that are not necessary would not do you any good. So, try to go down a few blocks and see if there are any areas where you can stay. Also, eat where the locals do and explore the city in the way they see it.
Book cheap flights
If you are planning to book your travel alone, it is best to check the lowest travel rate online on your chosen dates. Looking at websites that show all the available flights can give you an idea of how little the fare can go. Then, you can use your extra money on something else while you are on vacation.
One tip is to travel during the low-peak season so that you will not have to deal with expensive rates. Also, avoid going overseas during the holidays and in the summer, as travel rates can be costly during those times.
Check for inclusive tour fares
You can also look at inclusive tour fares to see if it will be cheaper to book your travel for a package. Inclusive tours often involve long haul flights combined with either a hire car or hotel accommodation. Depending on the time and location where you book, it might be cheaper to get it as a package instead of buying your airfare alone.
Avoid any unnecessary add-ons
Take a look at all the charges on your flight ticket before you hit the “pay” button. Chances are there are several unnecessary frills in there that you might want to see. Consider if you need to check in your baggage for your flight or carry your handy backpack instead. You can leave these unnecessary charges unticked and save even more money for your travel.
Weigh your luggage
Whether you are travelling with single baggage or will be checking your bags into a hold, it is best to check the luggage restrictions by the airline. You need to do it before you leave for the airport to skip all the excess charges.
Escaping for just a day or two can help you unwind and relax for a bit. So, go ahead, book a hotel and see where your adventure takes you. It is always fun to take short breaks every once in a while to clear your mind off things that stress you every day.
