There are many different cheap travel deals if you want to book your holiday online, however there are many different ways to go about finding them. I am sure many of us know what it feels like to think we have found a bargain holiday at a discount, only to find our mate found it on another site cheaper! The main thing to be aware of is added compulsory charges at the end just before payment, and to ensure that all aspects of the holiday have been included that you need, like airport transfers.
You also need to be aware of tick boxes that have been automatically ticked for you for items that you don’t necessarily want or need, like extra luggage allowances, travel insurance and in flight meals. A lot of sites offer these as ‘optional extras’, however they automatically check the boxes adding extra to your final cost without you realising it. It is always wise to check exactly what has been included in your final price, and go back and untick any unnecessary add ons to your travel bookings.
Another trick to finding cheap travel deals is that if you have used a package website that bundles everything into one price, go back and check what booking the individual items separately will cost you. The package provider should let you know what airline they use and the hotel and transfers, and these can all be booked separately online using various websites that may take you more time, but could save you a lot of money.
When using the big online travel sites, get a final price from them and then go and check the actual airline’s site, as well as the actual hotel’s site for a final price. You can then add transfers on as well and you will find that this can be an even cheaper way of doing things, even if you think you have found a bargain travel deal!
To make your life easier, there is a website where you can find all the web’s cheapest travel sites all in one place so you don’t have to spend hours searching on the search engines for them.
