Holiday Travel Tips You Can't Afford To Miss
(PRWEB) November 21, 2013 -- With the holiday season right around the corner, the best time to plan your vacation is now! Waiting until the last minute to finalize your itinerary can be your biggest enemy during the months of November and December. Use these money saving tips to ensure you get the most out of your vacation without breaking the bank.
Flights: Shop around, search early and often, and be flexible. The sooner you book your flights the better especially since the AAA reported over 91 million people will be traveling this holiday season! Comparing rates from different airlines for the same flight is a great way to save money. Make use of websites like hipmunk.com or kayak.com that help you compare deals from multiple travel sites at once. Keep in mind travel websites don't always show all the flights from all the airlines so contacting them directly can give you an inside edge. Airlines are trying to sell their most expensive products, but with a little research you can find the same flight at another airport, on another airline, or a day earlier for much cheaper. Buying tickets more than 14 days in advance is usually cheaper than last minute, and flights on week days tend to be cheaper than flights on weekends. If you're traveling in a group book each ticket individually to guarantee the lowest price, a group will get the same price for all their tickets but individuals will have lower fares available. Don't delay, once you have found a price that you're happy with you should book it immediately; if prices drop lower most airlines and booking websites will price match your rate. Avoid extra fees for checking bags by packing light. You can bring less clothes and do laundry at your destination, and you can use your rewards card as much as possible to increase the savings.
Airport Parking: This is the best way to maximize your budget. With the outrageous prices at the airport you can often be stuck paying more for parking then for your actual trip. Leaving your car at the airport for a week can cost over $100! GlobalAirportParking.com has alternative parking options at over 100 airports across the country, where you can save 75% off airport parking.The secret behind these amazing deals is that customers are using the parking at hotels near the airport and their complimentary shuttle to and from the airport. With attendants on staff 24/7 your car is safer than parking it at the actual airport, and for only a fraction of the price. To book a reservation, just visit globalairportparking.com or download the free app GlobalMobile in the app store. Reserve your parking spot online and pay for it when you book. When you arrive at the hotel just provide a copy of your confirmation and get on their complimentary shuttle. With the help of these great sites and a little planning on your part, you can enjoy this holiday season for the best price around.
