Although for some countries, such as Egypt, the UAE, the Maldives, or, say, where the ski resorts are, it did not end.

Yes, people fly to Spain or Italy all year round – even without the sea, there is something to see and something to get real tourist pleasure from.

Seasoned tourists have named several tricks that will help make your trip more economical and comfortable.

Early booking

Early booking of airline tickets will also help you save money – now they offer the most favorable prices even six months before departure.

If you plan your trip in advance, keep track of ticket prices.

The same applies to train tickets. In many European countries, buying such tickets online is cheaper than at the station.

But it is worth remembering: on peak days, tickets for the most popular routes may disappear several days before the train's departure.

Hotels and airlines

You can save money if you take part in the hotel's loyalty program. But these are only valid for regular customers.

The latter have the opportunity to accumulate bonuses and thus reduce the cost of accommodation in hotels of the same chain.

By the way, about bonuses. Some airlines also offer them as part of special programs.

Surely many have heard about accumulating miles or discounts for frequent flyers. Be one of them – fly with savings.

Insurance and parking

For those who travel several times a year, a good option to save money is to get annual travel insurance.

This type of policy will cost several times less than a standard one.

If you intend to leave your car at the airport, early booking of parking will save you extra expenses.
