6 WAYS TO SAVE ON SUMMER VACATION

  1. Time it right. Experts say the sweet spot for cheapest flight booking is 54 daysfamily-packing-for-vacation.jpg before your travel date.
  2. Clear your cache before every new flight search. This way, airlines can’t access your browser history and inflate the prices they offer you.
  3. Sweet-talk your way to savings. Ask for an upgrade at the check-in counter. About 78% of hotel guests who request an upgrade at the front desk actually get one.
  4. Never pay full price. Check sites like coupondivas.com, entertainment.com and Groupon.com for deep discounts at local eateries and entertainment centers.
  5. Freebie fun. Search local sites and blogs for write-ups about free things to do near your destination.
  6. Save your mega event for the last day. Finish your vacation on a high note by saving your most exciting event for the last day of your trip.
