FINANCING YOUR AIRLINE TICKETS WITH AFFORDABLE PAYMENTS PLANS
Believe it or not, but you may often find yourself sitting on a flight next to someone who paid half sometimes third of the price you paid for that same flight. How is that possible? What does he or she know that you don’t? And most importantly, how can you find cheap flights in the future?
Flightlayaway is here to help you!
PLAN MONTHS IN ADVANCE
Sometimes people get great deals by buying plane tickets or vacation packages but we always found planning way in advance is much better when you have children. Children don’t do well with last-minute changes to their routine, and the amount of gear they require will take some time to organize and put together. Planning in advance also allows you to be open to different locations, adventures, and deals.
BE FLEXIBLE WITH YOUR DESTINATION
Often, you can only take advantage of special deals and promotions when you have complete flexibility. If this is you, stay updated on what’s happening with airlines flying out of your local airport. Subscribe to their newsletters, like their Facebook pages and follow them on Twitter. Also sign up to get fare alerts of flights.This way, you’d be ready to pounce when there’s a good deal. The best deals can disappear within a matter of hours!
USE AIRLINE MILES
This trip would not be possible without airline miles. We were able to pay for four round-trip international tickets with credit card miles that we built up over time. Again, this took months of planning in advance, but it was well worth it and saved us thousands of dollars in travel costs.
SEEK OUT FREE OPPORTUNITIES
Our family doesn’t go on expensive or extensive private tours while we travel. Instead, we research numerous free or inexpensive things to do that are appropriate for a young family like us. Extensively search family blogs and travel guides to help me find the best mix of fun and family activities in each of the countries we will be lucky enough to visit.
BOOK APARTMENTS, NOT HOTELS
We have found it’s far cheaper to cook our food than to eat out every single meal, especially because we have to feed so many people now. We typically book apartments with kitchens through a vacation rental site, and really enjoy having a little more space and amenities.
While we plan to try different, unique food in each location to experience some culture, we also pack lunches and eating eggs and toast for breakfast like we do most days here in the States. This balance saves us cash, while still allowing us to indulge from time to time.
Ultimately, a young family can afford to travel to far-flung places, but they have to make planning ahead a priority. It would be hard to plan a big trip and also plan to renovate your kitchen or put your kids in an expensive summer camp in the same year. However, if traveling is something you want to do as a family, make it your goal. Plan far in advance, seek out the advice of others who have done it before you, and be flexible when it comes to making plans. If you do all of these things, then you’ll be surprised just how affordable it is to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world.
