Additionally, websites like CNN Underscored, RetailMeNot, and Travel Channel all offer up terrific tips for ways to save as you plan. For example: be flexible with where you go. Sometimes a less popular city, albeit a little farther from where you want to be, can offer you less expensive options. If flying, try to reserve on less active days, like Monday to Monday, as weekend airfare prices are higher. Compare flights and rooms through third-party sites like Expedia or Kayak. Whether planning a vacation or staycation, track down resorts that cater to families. Finding a hotel where kids stay free, with complimentary breakfasts and snacks, can add up to considerable savings. When booking a stay, book sooner rather than later. The consensus is that planning early can mean finding better deals on all your travel expenses.
