Booking flights online
Always book your flights online, as all the airlines now offer discounts for this. But watch out for the sneaky ways they try to bump the price back up.
Airlines’ websites will offer you insurance, priority boarding, baggage holding. And they will try to charge you extra for using a credit card (so use a debit card instead). Such extras can dwarf the price of your budget fare.
And my particular obsession – always shop around for a good deal on your holiday insurance. The price variations are MASSIVE!
In addition to booking your flights online, we at Wallet Watcher recommend booking your rental cars online. Again, the savings are substantial.
