Family with School Kids

Your flight or ferry is often your greatest expense. So make sure you do your research. There are loads of flight comparison sites to help you with this like Kayak and Skyscanners. You can also compare modes of transport to find out which is the cheapest. If you normally fly could you do it cheaper by train? Could you even do it in the car or on a bus? And again, don’t forget to work in hidden costs. An overnight sleeper train may seem an expensive option, but it might save you splashing out for a night’s hotel in a city. See if there’s a budget airline transporting passengers to an airport near the city you want to visit rather than directly into it. We recently found some good deals for Croatia flying into Zadar. When you are there, keep an eye on local transport costs as these can mount up. Beware the cost of an open topped bus versus the local authority version. Kids travel free on some public transport systems so it’s worth asking at the Tourist Information. And walking only costs you shoe leather! Lastly, make sure all your passports are up to date in advance so you don’t need a costly emergency dash to the passport office before you go.

Family with toddler

The first few years of having children takes its toll on your finances, but that doesn’t mean you have to ditch dreams of travelling. Many families put off a ‘big trip’ before their children start school, because they haven’t been able to muster the time or money. But while the first few years of having children can be expensive and demanding, travel can be affordable and rewarding with toddlers in tow. There’s little point crossing the globe or going on safari before they’re old enough to remember it, but any adventure encompassing new languages and landscapes can be a valuable, educational experience for the whole family.

It’s very important that you stay in your budget when you a searching for a holiday. Try to look for holidays when schools are on to get the cheap deals. Always try to look for all-inclusive within your budget at first. If you cannot find anything suitable within your budget then try to find flights and hotels separate. My personal suggestion is to look for an apartment instead of a hotel as you will be able to cook your own food in there. It’s always a good practice to eat in when you are on a holiday to stay within your budget. Always make sure that you search for a travel insurance in comparison sites and get the one most suitable for you.

Young Professionals

It’s always easy for young professionals with no kids to go away when schools are on because the price of hotels and flights are always very high during school holidays. Flexibility on travel and find the time to research is a very big thing if you want to travel cheap or on a budget. If you haven’t got a fixed destinations then start searching by the cheapest flight. Once you got your flight sorted then do a search on hotels. Sometime different travel agents do some cheap deals to get rid of their holidays so you need to keep eye on that too. Once you got all that sorted trying do some search on local shops, supermarket and food courts on the area you are staying and also trying find any comments/reviews from anyone who stayed that area before which can be very informative and useful on your journey. There is one very important thing to remember is if your hotel is not a walking distance from the airport then get the transportation sorted beforehand otherwise it can be very expensive.
