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.
