Want to spend quality time with family on a vacation, but with out causing a hole in your pocket? Here are some tips…

Travel during off season : The flight price varies considerably depending on the month, day and even time of travel.Avoiding the weekends can make a huge impact on the price.

Fly indirect : In case there is more time but less money , try flights with a stopover. Indirect routes will cost much less and give you time to explore more than one destination.

Bring your own food : Many low-cost airlines charge for food on board. Save money by taking along snacks.

Beat the baggage fees : If you’re worried about excess baggage charges, why not wear your extra items instead of cramming them into your case?

Try apartments  instead of hotel : The experience can be far more rewarding and cheaper than a stay in a hotel.

Eat like a local : Not only is tasting new cuisine part of the joy of traveling but you’re likely to eat far better as well as save money this way.

Save on foreign currency exchange: Most banks charge for each cash withdrawal on top of a commission fee. Take out larger sums so you’re charged less frequently. Getting your currency before you arrive at the airport is also a way of securing the best rate.
