How to Save Money on Luxury Travel

  • December 18, 2019
  • admin

Most of us love to travel and experience destinations in exceptional ways and on our terms. However, at times, this does not happen due to budget constraints. But who doesn’t enjoy some luxury travel from time to time?

Have you ever imagined visiting your dream destination on an affordable budget? This can cost you some money, but there are ways you can save some money and still have an unprecedented experience. Here are some of the tricks.

Plan Early

One secret to saving during luxury travel is planning early. This involves making decisions on where to go, what airlines to use, and the kind of accommodation you would prefer.

Unlike in college where you may seek a custom essay writing service the minute you need it, saving when going for a luxurious trip requires you to plan in advance.

What’s better is that you may find out that some services are cheaper when booked in advance. For example, if you plan to experience some luxury on a trip during the holidays and peak seasons, the cost of accommodation facilities is usually double or triple the prices charged during off-peak seasons.

Nevertheless, booking early could mean that you enjoy the same facilities at lower prices. Planning early will help you know:

  • Times when flights are cheapest.

  • When there are promotions on various services.

  • How your budget aligns with the available options.

Also by planning early, you get to accumulate extra funds that you can use to spoil yourself a little during your trip.

Embrace Flexibility with Dates

By planning early, you get to estimate the dates that you are most likely to travel. However, you may find that your chosen dates clash with peak periods when everything is more expensive. In such a case, delaying the trip for a few more days until prices stabilize would be a good idea to saves you some money.

With flexibility, you are also able to take advantage of flash sales, rewards, and discounts that are offered by airlines and hotels on specific dates.

Take Advantage of Loyalty Programs

As part of planning early, you could consider joining loyalty programs offered by credit cards, airlines, and hotels. For example, some airlines loyalty programs, such as Aeroplan, make it very easy for members to redeem miles to fly worldwide. Large amounts of Aeroplan miles can easily be earned through credit card welcome bonuses, so it is absolutely worth looking into if you can use airline loyalty programs to your benefit for your next vacation.

Some hotels also offer discounts and bonus points to their customers when they stay at any of their facilities for a specified period, through loyalty programs. Others allow their clients to redeem bonus points for free nights.

Thus, by joining loyalty programs prior to traveling, you could save a lot of money and still spend a night in a luxurious hotel or even travel first class.

Travel Light

Luxury travel is not only about how much you spend on a trip but also how liberating the whole experience feels. Traveling with a carry-on bag alone will save you some coins because airlines charge extra for baggage.

 Besides saving on money, traveling light may enhance your luxury experience; hand luggage allows you the freedom to walk out straight from an airport once you land.

Explore Alternative Accommodation

If you intend to stay at a destination for more than a week, you need to consider alternative accommodation styles. For example, you may alternate between budget, mid-range, and luxury accommodation.

Also, you may opt to stay in apartment rentals for some part of your holiday as a way of saving some money. For example, you could search for Airbnbs around you and book the ones that are within your budget range.

Consult Travel Agents

If all the other tips do not work to your advantage, you also have the option of consulting a travel agent for advice on affordable luxury travel. Such an agent has connections to service providers in different destinations that could be beneficial to you.

Seeking help from a travel agent is a good idea because:

  • They have personal experience.

  • They help you save travel-related costs.

  • They save you the time you would have spent online researching blindly about a destination.

  • They match you right with the most suitable service provider.

The good news is that you can plan that luxury holiday without exhausting your finances; the key is spending wisely. With these tips, you can be sure to save some money to reward yourself or put into other uses. If you desire to go on such a trip so badly, start planning now. Determine the amount of money that will be enough and then plan on how to use the above strategies to save every penny.
