Modern Vacation Tips You Can Actually Use

By Samuel Foster

Vacation is one of those things that we love to go all the time. Unfortunately, one thing stands in the way and that's money. If there were ways to save on traveling, we'd be much happier.

How many of us really trust our travel agent? I'm here to tell you that despite popular belief, they actually have some pretty good deals because they book by the tens and thousands of people. This way, their bulk discounts are huge.

If you plan your vacation, you will spend less time traveling and more time having fun. Unnecessary traveling time also means more money wasted so do some homework.

To save money, you may want to eat a huge breakfast, then a moderate lunch and a small dinner. You probably won't miss the experience at all but you will save a ton because breakfast is cheaper than lunches and so on.

Last minute deals are truly priced to perfection. If you want the best deal possible, just be ready to take off in days notice. Your boss may not like it but your wallet will thank you for it.

Online systems will track traffic, likelihood of booking as well as availability to determine prices on the fly. Therefore, it will always jump up and down. Go to the website a few times and figure out the bottom of the range, then book when it's near or around that figure.

If possible, take bigger luggage to save on luggage cost. As long as you buy a name brand luggage, you can be sure that the biggest size will still fit within the regulation.

Frequent-flyer programs started it all and they are now the best way to get free hotel rooms and flight tickets. Every company wants you to stay with them so they will shower you with free peaks and discounts if you show some loyalty.

Never get a rental car at an airport if you want to save money. With all those airport taxes etc, it literally pays to take a shuttle around the corner to get your car. Best of all, there are probably no lineups.

Some credit cards have travel insurance so remember to use that card to book your hotel and airlines. This way, you don't have to pay additional for insurance and what not.
