As spring break is approaching and summer is right around the corner, you might want to start planning your trips. Whether you're going to Disneyland or Hawaii for a vacation you could always use some tips to help make the most of your experience.
Transportation
If you're planning to fly somewhere, it’s best to buy tickets months before your trip. That's when tickets will be the cheapest. One of the best airlines to fly on is Southwest. Their tickets are usually $49 and up and allow you to pick the time of your departure and return. Along with that, they will check 2 free bags per person. The only downside is its open seating so make sure you check-in early. Another thing you should take in account is airports. It’s usually cheaper and easier to fly into smaller airports. So wherever you’re going make sure to check flights into different airports near you location for the best deals.
Housing
Finding a good hotel can be hard especially if you’re planning to travel during holidays. Things to take into consideration is if there's free wifi, complimentary breakfast, free parking and the hotel ratings. The best way to find an inexpensive hotel is to get package deals. Packages can include flight and hotel or if you’re going to a Disney Park you can get tickets, flight and hotel all in one package. Even after this some hotels can still be really expensive so the next best option is to find an Airbnb. This can be kinda scary since you are staying in a stranger's home. To ease your mind, the websites will tell you whether the host is reliable and will also give you reviews on their homes. These houses can be range from very cheap to super expensive and luxurious.
Food
When on a trip you're obviously gonna be hungry from visiting different tourist attractions. The best way to go is to find a hotel with complimentary breakfast. If you’re planning to stay in an Airbnb then you should go grocery shopping once you arrive to your destination. Buy things like bread, peanut butter and jelly, waffles, ham and cheese to make food at home and to take them with you wherever you go to snack on them. If you have time buy food that you can easily make at home since you’ll have access to a stove. Like frozen pizza, mac and cheese, and quesadillas. You should also buy snacks like granola bars and fruit snacks. Try and limit going to restaurants. Of course, it's nice to try the local food but not for every meal.
Spending
I know you will be wanting to buy absolutely everything for memories but make sure to set a budget! When you plan vacation you obviously have money to spend but make sure you use it wisely. You would probably would want to spend money on eating out, clothes, accessories and little souvenirs of the place you have just visited. But make sure you don’t go overboard with items that can make your card decline or add too much to your carry on that you will have to then pay an extra fee for baggage.
Packing
If you're an indecisive person with picking out your clothes make sure you wear your heaviest clothes heading onto the plane so you can fit more in your luggage. When packing liquids make sure you follow the requirements for the how much you're allowed to bring. A TSA requirement is that they only allow liquids of 3.4 ounces or less for safety reason so make sure you follow the rules or your items will be discarded.
