I love luxury. But I don’t like to spend it.
When I plan a trip, I always look for ways to live unique experiences without necessarily costing me more.
No matter the next destination you plan to visit. In this article, I give you my tips for traveling at a low cost. I just need a pinch of organization, a zest of anticipation, and a lot of sincerity. This is what allows me to travel with my family on a small budget. Shall I explain this to you? I thought I would give you a few tips for a luxury experience, no matter your budget!
How to travel with a small budget?
Whatever your budget, there is always a way to go. But to avoid unpleasant surprises and exploding budgets, it’s better to organize your trip. Here are my tips:
1. Planning is imperative
Whether you’ve planned a family trip, an adventure trip, or a luxury trip, planning is crucial. The full-proof plan trip avoids you from hassles, delays, and hiccups. It is always better to give the responsibility of tour planning to a reliable and expert person.
2. Learn About the Chosen Destination
I think this is really the first thing to do. You have seen sublime images of this destination. You dream, but will it really suit you? Think about it and then plan it.
3. Choose offbeat destination
If you want to enjoy luxury travel on a budget, don’t explore the well-known places. Choose the place where you can splurge easily instead of saving. Such types of tours not only help you to spend your vacation with peace but also helps to make your journey cheaper. While famous destinations can put a dent in your budget.
4. Visit the bar of a chic hotel
I admit that this is one of my favorite things. You will also see it declined in a different way a little below. When I can’t afford a night in the posh hotel, I dream of visiting. I check if they have a bar! Often these will have the same feeling of opulence as the hotel itself, and this will be an opportunity to take a little tour.
Confession: I also like to discover the toilets in luxury hotels. The lighting, the flowers, sometimes the creams and all the little extras found there. I love it!
5. Dinner at the Restaurant
This stuff is valid both at home and when traveling. It often costs much less to eat in fancy establishments than to go there for dinner. And sometimes the menus are very similar!
6. Cost Of Living on Site
Before buying these discounted airline tickets, be sure to check the cost of living there.
Some famous destinations like London have good deals, such as museums and free public transport up to 11 years old. Few tourists know this, but just order the transport pass for your children well in advance, free transport is yours!
7. Plane Ticket Prices
The price of a plane ticket varies depending on the distance traveled, of course. But not only. In some locations, there is very little competition, and ticket prices remain high throughout the year. Difficult to find a cheap ticket to go to New Caledonia, Madagascar, or Cuba, for example.
Conversely, competition is fierce to go to Asia. For example, bought well in advance, our tickets to go to New Zealand were hardly more than those for Canada this summer.
Think about it if you dream of traveling far; your dream is not necessarily unattainable!
8. Compare Price Comparators
Don’t rely on a single price comparator to look at ticket prices. Most comparators only present a selection of partner sites. So to avoid disappointment, increase your sources of information, remember to read the short lines, and check the prices directly with the airline. You might be surprised!
Anticipate Your Trip
I know there are sometimes last-minute specials. But the key to not blowing up your budget is to anticipate as much as possible when planning your trip. The cheapest plane tickets, the best accommodations, leave quickly. So it’s never too early to book. And then, taking care of reservations well in advance already makes it possible to plan for this journey.
