How to create a fun and cheap travel strategy

It’s summer vacation, are you still looking forward to a trip? Making an interesting and cheap travel plan is a skill that almost all travelers must master. I feel like I have traveled to so many places. The experience is quite rich haha. So today I bring this super useful information to share with you how the editor formulates travel strategies~

Only book the cheapest air tickets!

Domestic

< p>For me, Eastern Airlines is the first choice. Members of Eastern Miles can get free air tickets if they accumulate a certain number of miles.

The baggage allowance and in-flight meals are also among the best on domestic flights, so they are generally the first choice.

If China Eastern Airlines’ fares are too expensive, I will choose low-cost airlines.

Like Spring and Autumn, auspicious...

tips

1. Tickets booked long in advance and tickets that have not been sold before departure are all Cheap air tickets.

2. Air tickets are promoted by airlines, and some newly opened routes will be very cheap

3. Don’t focus on Taobao during discount seasons such as Double Eleven, as travel products are also on sale.

4. General low-cost airlines such as domestic Spring and Autumn Airlines, Jixiang, and Air Tickets are very cheap, but you should pay attention to whether there is a free checked baggage allowance

International

International The situation is much more complicated than in China. Today we will mainly talk about how to buy tickets cheaper and where to buy tickets.

1. Another low-cost airline

Here I want to talk about AirAsia. AirAsia is a very famous low-cost airline. It has cheap air tickets and more and more routes. Buy it two or three months in advance. It is basically impossible to buy suitable tickets.

However, airlines usually release a batch of special-price tickets three or four months in advance. If the sales are good, the price will increase later. If the sales are not good, they will continue to release a batch of special-price tickets. Keep an eye on the dynamics of the target flights. Information is a great way to save money.

Lion Air, Cebu Pacific Air, AirAsia, EasyJet, JetStar, etc., these are all low-cost airlines

2. Transfer

Transfer is generally cheaper than direct flight, but this is not the case for some unpopular destinations!

For example, Manado, one of the world’s most popular diving destinations First, all his direct flight tickets were purchased by travel agencies, so the connecting tickets purchased by himself were more expensive. Instead, it was more cost-effective to buy flights + wine party from a travel agency.

3. Where to buy tickets

When we buy tickets, we usually go directly to Ctrip or Qunar.com, but it is easy to make mistakes and the website is oversold.

So where should we buy tickets?

Look at the flight you like on the travel app website, and go to the official website to compare the prices. If the difference is not big, go to the official website to buy it. This is not Will be cheated.

What I mean by being cheated is that when you are about to take off, you find that the software has not issued you a ticket, but you have already paid... It would be unfortunate if you go abroad and don't understand the language....< /p>

Remember the official website is safer!

How to buy discounted tickets

The following information is collected by me. The prices are very cheap on sale days, but sometimes Our travel time and air tickets may not match up, so it’s probably 70% destiny and 30% hard work....

AirAsia

Four promotions a year , they all cost a few dollars!! Usually March, June, September, and November, but usually you buy next year’s tickets this year.

China Eastern Airlines

The weekly irregular promotions are fascinating

China Southern Airlines

Membership Day on the 28th of every month

< p>Cathay Pacific

Promotion every Tuesday

Spring Airlines

Four major sales per year, plus membership day promotion on the 27th of every month

Western Airlines

Promotion every Wednesday

One word: buy your tickets early!!!

Here is a shameless tip: buy tickets for international routes Don’t arrive too early. If the airline sells out seats, they will upgrade you.

If you are not good at timing, don’t play with fire

The goal in life is to sleep!

First of all, as a girl, it is best not to stay in a youth hostel when going out alone. Even if it is cheap, very cheap, life safety is the first priority!

You can go to the best Book the cheapest room in a hotel, or go to a regular hotel.

This is not about distrust of youth hostels. I just feel that without the guarantee of safety, how can we see the world.

If you want to save money, the first choice in the world is flight + wine. According to my observation, the best software for booking flight and wine is Mafengwo.

There will be different days and you on the page. Among the different hotels I want to choose, there are ultra-luxury five-star, which means more economical and affordable rooms. Of course, choosing a flight + wine means that the time is fixed.

For students who do not want to choose the flight + wine booking method

There are also three softwares here

Fliggy

The prices of travel items here It will be relatively cheaper, although not too much, but it is good to save a little...

booking

This website seems to cooperate with Qyer.com, I sometimes choose it Because it also contains reviews from foreign tourists, you can compare hotels more comprehensively

airbnb

If you want to stay in a B&B, this software is great. The prices range from low to high. The coverage is also very broad and relatively formal.

Finally, if you can find a travel companion, then you must find one. Travel companions are here to share the room cost!!

You can save money by not being cheated...

Be sure to learn more about the local customs before going

For example

When you go to Egypt to visit the pyramids, you will be surrounded by many people holding camels.

They usually tell tourists that it only costs $1 to ride a camel. But when you ride it excitedly, they will immediately change their mind and charge a lot of money, even though you are still sitting on a camel.

Or in India.

Some children will take the initiative to take pictures with you. They blink their big, watery eyes. You also want to leave a beautiful memory, so you raise the camera without hesitation, but they are beautiful and innocent. It will stop abruptly when you open the photo, and stretch out your little hand to ask for their portrait rights, and then you will lose a huge sum of money....

Does it hurt? Stuck to death

So how to make a guide!

Routes and attractions

If you want to make a perfect travel plan, then the selected attractions are very important. important.

Although this is completely different from person to person, whether it is a check-in tour of popular attractions, a food tour, exploring unpopular niche routes or a shopping trip, there must be traces.

Nowadays, there are many travel apps, such as Ctrip, Tuniu Qunar, etc., which often dazzles us as guides.

So, here I recommend a relatively comprehensive app that I am very satisfied with, namely Qiongyou Tips.

There are no reservations for flights or wine, nor pre-sales of train tickets. It is a refreshing and pure guide.

Here is a clear list of pure practical information including routes, attractions, food, transportation, information, etc.

Includes must-see attractions, how to get there, ticket fees, historical evolution, and things to note when visiting.

It can be said that it is very clear. We can get some of the attractions that we are excited about and want to visit on this website, and make our own routes through the addresses given by it, or directly choose the ones recommended by the website. line.

But what if you don’t want to go to popular attractions, but just want to understand the local lifestyle and get a travel experience that is different from ordinary people. Then I would recommend another app: Klook

For example, the cooking class in Bali and the photographer’s filming, when everyone is rushing to take pictures of the Devil’s Tears, you walk in leisurely Isn’t this kind of cool trip about the life of the locals in Bali and learning to cook Bali’s food with the locals?

Of course there are many travel experiences, such as cycling, hiking, etc. It is a good place to discover local experiences and niche destinations.

I am very lazy and don’t want to design it myself

If you really don’t have time to make your own travel plan and think about the route, or if you are still confused after seeing the attractions, our next practical The app appears.

Qunar Guide

Attention here! This is the Qunar Guide, not Qunar.com.

There are a lot of travel notes here, which are divided into elite travel notes and ordinary travel notes.

The essence of travel notes is divided into high-quality products, practical information, beautiful pictures, literary style and short-distance style.

Among them, the high-end products are the best of the best, so I usually look at the high-end products first.

The quality of the travel notes is still good. They cover all aspects of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and visa precautions. I have written a few articles. I think their standards for refinement are relatively high, so the content is informative and credible, and can even inspire people. Desire to travel. I was not exhausted when I first wrote it

If you don’t want to use your own brain to design it, you can make an identical travel plan.

Traveling during off-peak hours

I usually stay at home during National Day and other events, which is not only expensive but also expensive.

Just like this winter when there were rumors that Xuexiang was ripping off customers, I actually just came back from there. The hot season in Xuexiang is January to February. I went there in December, and the snow was already very thick, but Prices are not that high.

At that time, the room price was about 200 per night. When I checked in January, it had already risen to 2,000.

Do you think it’s exciting or not?!

So, it’s the best time to go a week or two before the hot season or a few days later, and the scenery isn’t bad either.

Finally, take a book with you and hit the road! Only by reading thousands of books can you travel thousands of miles!
