Saving Money on Travel - 5 ways

The travel agency Travel Leaders (formerly CarsonWaglit) has come out with its annual travel agent survey of trends.

The top ways leisure travelers are saving money:

1. Flexible with dates 75.7%
Availability can make fares change significantly. Always let us know if the dates are flexible.

2. Staying at all-inclusives 71.0%
Some are great. I used to not be a fan, but they have significantly improved over the years, and there are some really high end ones. Great when you have kids!


3. Using frequent flyers miles 63.5%
Let us see if your miles will work. Then, you are just paying for transportation, food, and hotel. Aifare can be a major portion of the overall cost.

4. Taking a cruise 56.3%
Not a cruiser, but great value for themoney.

5. Booking only if promotion/deal 50.9%
The promotions are out there. Ask me, I will find them!

Happy Travels!
