A large part of making sure that you can afford your dream trip is by spreading the cost out. If you book early, you can get a great deal and more time to pay for it. Use travel websites and set alerts for your dream destination, so you get the best deals delivered straight to your inbox. Get in as early as possible. Flights usually open up a year before the flight date, so you can get the best seats to.
Book An Airbnb
Happy to go self-catering? You could avoid the resorts and stay in an Airbnb. You can often save a lot of money by opting to rent an apartment from someone privately, close to the resorts that you’ve been looking at. You can save some money and will be able to do your own cooking, which is another good way to save some cash on your trip.
Book Excursions Early
Whether you plan to spend your trip on a sun lounger on the beach, or you’d rather go waterskiing, or visiting museums, booking in advance can save you money. Book early, and check voucher and deal websites for excursions at a much lower cost.
