5 tips for traveling smart this summer!

Anticipate your next trip!

That's why we are in the best time to book! Yes, planning ahead is synonymous with savings above all:plane tickets increase as summer approaches, then it is now that offers are available on accommodation (camping , hotel…). Booking at the last minute inevitably costs more and can quickly become a source of additional stress (“it's all sold out, I don't know where to go!”). So what are you waiting for to start planning your vacation?

Traveling during the week will be good for your wallet.

The weekend is always more expensive for transport. Why ? Regarding planes, many air carriers add taxes on weekends especially on long-haul flights. So a little advice:to maximize your savings, go on a trip from Monday to Wednesday, between Thursday the prices increase sharply. Regarding medium-haul flights, avoid flights between Friday afternoon and Sunday evening, you will be sure to save!

Treat yourself to a luxury suite!

What ? "We thought this article was intended to give good tips..." Don't panic! It's all a logical question… Indeed, whoever says “more expensive room” says “more advantageous promotions”. Conclusion:do not hesitate to compare hotel prices and study them, who knows you will find a rare pearl in a 5-star palace!

Be careful when booking your plane tickets!

Don't forget to take out travel insurance, you never know what can happen:bad weather conditions, accidents abroad (we don't wish that on you, huh!), but medical costs can quickly rise in certain countries , as in the United States for example. Second thing, always take “refundable” reservations for transport:it will be less expensive in the event of cancellation or modification of your trip!

Get closer to the airport the day before the flight… sleeping at the hotel!

A good tip for early risers:flights at dawn are cheaper and you will have less risk of missing the plane! Hotels near airports often offer discounts, so it is sometimes cheaper to spend an extra night at the hotel than to catch an afternoon flight.

Now you know everything… Happy holidays!
