The perfect time for a relaxing getaway is in the Spring or after the summer rush. That’s when hotels are less crowded and prices are a bit lower.
Planning a trip to Europe? The best time to travel is in April or May. If Hawaii is more your style then you might think about going in the late summer months such as August or September.
Do Your Research
Expedia, Hotels.com, and Travelocity are a few travel sites that are great for planning that perfect getaway. The savings offered by some of these sites are amazing.
Taking the time to do your research online will always pay off in the end. Find out about the weather. Is there a rainy season? Will there be renovations or construction during your stay. Not being able to see that famous tourist attraction would be disappointing. Google it before you go. Buying tickets in advance sometimes saves money and time. You won’t have to stand in long lines.
Also, take note of the customer reviews. These reviews often give detailed information about the places you’re thinking of visiting.
Using a travel agent is another way to get a discount for your vacation.
