Travel soothes our soul, and we have seen very few people who do not like to travel, but what about the others who want to? What if they have a budget to survive on? Well, do not worry about either because we have you covered. Here, we will tell you how to find the cheapest hotels/flights to satisfy your soul with a global tour.

Other than Hotels, you can choose to go to various ways of stay, but we will tell you in this blog how you can choose your hotel at lower prices. So get ready with us to plan your next trip to your dream destination.

Let us discuss these tips and tricks individually so that you may get lucky with your next trip.

Local Knowledge:

No website or other platform can beat this thing because the knowledge locals have is unbeatable about their own city or country. So this is the first point that we are going to discuss here. If you want good food, ask a local; if you want to see a better location, ask a local. So why does not this thing apply here in the case of bookings? This case may be less applied in booking a plane, but regarding the hotels and stays, they know which one you can get at the cheapest price. We all know that we can go for cheap stays, but that does not mean that cleanliness should not be there, so from websites, you cannot get the idea of a good, neat, clean, and cheap hotel. Now, the question is how you can talk to them before going to that place. Well, we have the perfect solution for you.

Language Apps to talk to locals online:

• Hello Talk 
• My Language Exchange 
• Tandem
• Duolingo
• Speaky 

Appropriate Timings:

We always look for offers and deals whenever we look for cheap hotels, but we never assume how big this factor plays in the budgetary game. Appropriate Timing is one of the most important essential aspects if you are looking for a budget stay. Because, of course, if you go to that place where everyone will be going collectively, the rates will be higher than usual. So why go at that time of the year when there is the peak of the expensive rates and stays. The best option to travel and explore is to go when hotels and flights have fewer tourists than usual. Here we will tell you some times, like when you can ignore and when you can go, which will save your expenses.

When to Ignore:

• You can ignore it during the festive season.
• You can avoid going during the weekends.

When to Go:

• From Mid-February to Mid-April (Low Travel Season)

           These are statistics, and these can vary from time to time.

Credit Card Points:

Credit Card is something that can change the game totally. Payments with credit cards can avail you of great rewards. Whenever you pay with the help of your credit card, you get points, and collectively, those points help you to grab the rewards. Sometimes you get so big offers from these points that you cannot imagine. For example, we can take a plane ticket. Suppose you are going to some other country. In that case, your plane tickets can cost you thousands of bucks, which can empty your wallet, and sometimes these credit card reward programs can avail you these tickets free of cost; so ultimately, payment with your credit card is much better than your debit one if you are going to pay for a hotel or your plane ticket because, in the end, it will save you money.

Credit Cards to choose from:

• Mastercard
• American Express
• Chase Sapphire Reserve.

Advance Booking:

Now, this is where your game changes totally. Advance booking of any hotel and flight will work like heaven for you to cut short your expenses. You can always check this by doing a practical. Suppose we are taking New York (USA) here if you are going to a country. We will take a practical example of this by checking the rates from a specific site. Let us look at the dates for tomorrow’s flight or after three months. Then, we will clearly know who will win this savings game. Advance booking is a strong game player of this savings game, and you have to believe this, so whenever you want to go, just plan it before the correct timings so that you may not get affected by the expensive throw of plane tickets and hotels.

Flights Prices according to some specific site results:

• London to USA (From 30 August) 

            Price Range: 587.28 US Dollars 

• London to USA (From 30 November)

            Price Range: 387.22 US Dollars 

Bookings without Extra Perks:

There are other ways to save money from these expenses if you can compromise a little on extra perks. If you are trying, there is always a nook corner from where you can see some of your expenses. Booking without extra perks means you will compromise on some little things and get the room or your plane ticket at a lower cost. This factor can save you money and your expenses, which can ultimately help you to stay on a budget for your trip. Here we will give you some conditions where you can get a cheap room or a ticket at the cost of your little comfort.

How to get these bookings at cheaper prices by compromising some perks:

• Hotels: In the case of hotels, there are some rooms that you can get at cheaper costs because they don’t have the features other rooms have. Here, we can take an example of a window with a great view and another room with no windows, so the room with no windows will cost you less, which can help you save some bucks.

• Flights: You can choose the economy class of planes to fly for, and in addition, you can go for the seats at the end because they have fewer amenities than the front seats on the plane, which will help you save some bucks there, too.

Compare Ota’s With Direct Platforms:

Last but not least, this option is quite beneficial when booking plane and hotel tickets. We can always check the prices of the tickets and compare them with the direct site options. So why should this option be considered before buying tickets and booking hotels? Sometimes Ota’s gives us huge discounts which are quite beneficial for our savings and other than that, the direct bookings and these sites have no difference, so checking these things is a must. We can make sure of which option we can choose and where to choose from. We can compare two different statistics from different platforms to learn how we can benefit our pockets.

Here, we will compare the hotel prices from two different platforms so you can know better.

Hotel X (Not mentioning the real name) in Miami.

• OTA Price: 159 US Dollars
• Direct Price: 240 US Dollars 

This is how there is such a huge difference between the OTAs and hotels, which may vary from case to case.

So, in the end, you can keep your plan going because of your budgetary side, and you can always follow these tips and tricks to cut your costs. Do not wait to go to your dream destination with your loved ones and your own.
