Travel Tips Before You Fly

Most of us love to travel, but some will end up tired and burden with the expenses.You need not be if you just take a few steps before you fly.

Create a budget
This is my first step, bearing in mind how much I can afford to spend. It helps me to keep within my means, and yet enjoy my trip. Of course, if you own the riches in this world, you can skip this step.With a budget to stick to, you can prioritise the most important parts of your trip - a nice hotel, nice food, special sightseeing tours - and ensure you get to enjoy them.

It's all about the booking
Plan as far in advance as you can, so that you can get the best fares. The closer it is to the travel date, the more expensive the ticket will be.

Tour package
Tour packages can be great if you don't have much time to research your destination or you are not an experienced traveller. However you need to know what is or what is not included in the tour packages. Different agencies offer different tour packages hence prices do differ for the same destination. If you are someone who prefer to DIY your own itinery, be sure to check out varies sources for prices and offer comparison.

Hidden costs
Budget airlines are great and offer escapes to destinations at reduced prices, but beware of hidden costs. Baggage, meals, blankets, seat selection, and other fees add up quickly and fares can suddenly rival traditional carriers.
