The plane is the fastest way to go on vacation, but it is also often the most expensive . You can search for offers that start mid-week instead of the weekend. In fact, the planes are often empty from Tuesday to Thursday and, in order to fill them, the airlines apply super discounted rates.

Or you can consider taking a train . It does not always cost less than a low cost flight, especially if you travel on high speed trains, but if you are satisfied with a regional train, train tickets are very cheap.

If you can freely decide the period in which to leave and you are not tied to particular closings, the best choice to save is always to travel in the low season . Even the most expensive destinations in lean periods can have lower prices. The low season depends not only on the tourist turnout, but also on the climate .

Traveling in company , in addition to being pleasant, is also a way of sharing expenses and saving costs. If you rent a car or if you decide to rent an apartment you will save a lot rather than traveling by bus or staying in a single hotel room.

Booking at the last minute can have its advantages. You can find last minute offers that allow you to save between 30 and 60% . Often, however, offers can also be found by booking well in advance ( first minute ), even one year with the other, or as soon as the new seasonal rates are communicated. This is the case of air flights which, often and willingly, at the time of the announcement are offered at super discounted prices for a short period of time.

Finally, setting a budget for your vacation allows you not to exceed your expenses. Helps keep costs down and avoid getting nasty surprises at the end of a stay.

When it comes to going on vacation , maybe in the summer, everyone has their own methods and routines to follow. There are those who opt for last minute , believing that they can find the best offers within a few weeks of what they would like to be the departure date. Others instead are at work in front of the PC already after the Christmas holidays.

The first step, although now taken for granted, is to use specific search engines for flights and hotels. In this way it will be possible to obtain a more than ample comparison between various economic solutions and, by booking in advance, you will be able to take advantage of discounts designed specifically for those who decide to organize their holidays before the so-called “hot months”. It is good to know, however, that the offers for accommodation are divided into two categories, those with cancellation possible by a specified date and those without cancellation. The first case naturally involves a slightly higher cost, compared to the service offered. The second, on the other hand, could guarantee an additional discount, considering how the amount should be paid in advance.

Sometimes leaving technology aside is not a bad idea. The web is very useful for researching the place you intend to visit, discovering the main attractions and solutions in terms of accommodation. However, it is sometimes possible to obtain advantageous discounts by contacting the property directly . Having a direct relationship with the hotelier, if it is a private individual and not a large chain with almost fixed prices, could lower the figure indicated on the web. Contacting privately in fact offers greater guarantees to the owner, as if to indicate a certainty of the accommodation and therefore of his earnings. A trick that works particularly well if we are dealing with structures in which we have already stayed in the past. Loyalty in this area always pays off.
