HOW TO BOOK AN AMAZING CHEAP VACATION PACKAGE

Sometimes planning a vacation is as fun as taking the vacation. But sometimes you want someone else to do all the work for you and just book a vacation package. Because, let's face it, sorting through hotels, itineraries, and flights can be a daunting task when you just want to get away. Plus, you can often find better deals when you book a package.


Tips for Booking a Cheap Vacation Package

For the greatest savings on your vacation package, use these nine tips to guide you through the booking process.

1. Be Flexible on Place

You're going to get the cheapest vacation package if you are completely open to any destination. I recommend either choosing an activity that you're looking for or a general destination and then looking for vacation packages that meet this more general criteria. When you're more flexible on the place, you're going to get a better deal.

2. Plan Far in Advance or Book Last Minute

The best vacation deals I've found have always been last-minute trips. However, my trip to Vienna was planned about nine months in advance. You are best off planning more than three months in advance (four for summer travel) or less than two weeks. Planning a trip in only two weeks may sound scary — but you can block off the dates now and choose the destination later!

3. Be Flexible on Time

Just like with flexibility on destination, travelers who are flexible with when they go are going to get better deals. "Time" includes days that you travel, how long you stay, and even time of day for flights. The more flexibility you have, the cheaper vacation package you'll snag. (If you're unsure of how to search based on flexibility, start by checking out my favorite search engines for flexible travel.)

4. Be Flexible on Amenities

Most vacation packages typically include flights and hotel. Some also include a rental car, admission passes to a nearby attraction or all-inclusive meals. It's best to be flexible with the amenities you want — you can always opt to not use the tickets or to find a rental car on your own.

5. Bring a Friend 

The majority of vacation packages are priced per person for two people. If you are traveling by yourself, you'll likely see a surcharge. Some packages charge less per person when there are three or four people all booking together.

The Advantages of Online Airline Reservations

Major airlines allow customers to complete the check-in process online or through mobile phones, typically beginning 24 hours before the flight time. Customers enter flight information and identification information to check in early for their flights. Consider the benefits and check the airline's guidelines to determine if early check-in can be advantageous for you on your next flight.   Kipped Lines A traditional airline check-in requires you to stand in line at the airline's ticket counter to get your boarding passes. During busy travel times, the lines are often quite long, requiring you to arrive at the airport early and waste time standing in line. When traveling with children, the wait is often boring for them and stressful for the parents. The early check-in process allows you to print your boarding passes online so you aren't required to stand in long lines at the airport. If you're checking bags, you can enter the number of bags online and pre

7 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR CRUISE

Image
No doubt about it: There’s a certain been-there-done-that aspect to many cruises. Unless you’ve booked yourself on outliers such as an expedition ship to the Galapagos or a port-intensive, low-occupancy river cruise in Europe, travelers who board large mass-market ships have largely the same experience: Rush to the port, get on the ship, go crazy with 4,000 new best friends, get off. Nothing wrong with this (hey, you’re on vacation!), but there is a multitude of ways to put a little zip on your next cruise. Here are 7 of them: 1. Get There the Night Before -- and Extend the Fun. Sounds simple, but hundreds of cruisers literally miss the boat each year because of delayed flights, traffic, bad weather and other unforeseen troubles. Others board by the skin of their teeth, panting and screaming at one another. Who needs that sort of stress? Fly or drive into your port city the night before and you simultaneously bypass pre-departure jitters and add a day to your vacation. Ch
