With the international borders now open for Australian tourists, we can guess how excited you are for your next adventure. Continue reading for our top tips on travelling on a budget.
Book flights in advance
Booking your flights in advance can save you from falling into the trap of paying more than you need to. Airlines tend to release their flights up to a year in advance, so it’s best to book sooner rather than later.
Travel during off-season
Try to avoid planning your next holiday during school holidays as this is when airlines and accommodation are most expensive. The best way to avoid the busy season is to research the best time to visit your intended destinations, and travel just before or just after those dates.
Save using public transport
Save your spending money for the activities and get around using public transport. Catching a bus or train around the city can be much cheaper than a ride share alternative.
Don’t eat your money
We don’t mean this literally (although we still advise against it) but take advantage of the local markets at your destination to buy lunches and snacks, rather than opting for a restaurant where it tends to be more expensive. However, if you’re a foodie and enjoy eating from restaurants, it may be a good idea to wander around to see your options before deciding.
These are just of few of the many helpful tips that you can find to help you save money while travelling. If you are thinking about planning a holiday, speak to us to discuss a plan for your finances.
