Tips, Hacks and Discount Travel Sites for Cheaper Travel

Travel Tuesday Steals and Deals

Now that I’m an empty-nester, I'm ready to travel more and enjoy this next season of life. For Travel Tuesday, I'll share tips, hacks and discount travel sites for cheaper travel!

Many travel insiders say that Tuesday can be the cheapest day to travel and to purchase tickets. So I'm here to share more timely travel tips and deals!

GET HOTEL DISCOUNTS

Take a look at popular hotel booking sites such as Trivago, Priceline, Kayak, and Expedia to search for discounted hotel rates.

GET HOTEL DISCOUNTS

Other ways to get hotel discounts: Call the hotel, check Affinity Discounts, stay a few blocks away from your target spot, go midweek, check last minute sites, redeem credit card points, and more!

FIND CHEAPER FLIGHTS

If you can be flexible with the dates you need to fly, you will often see a big discrepancy in the fares. Always check alternative dates and airports when possible.

FIND CHEAPER FLIGHTS

I use the free apps called Hopper and Skyscanner to track flights. Just enter your flight information and get notifications when the price changes.

CAR RENTAL HACKS AND ALTERNATIVES

Beware of hidden car rental fees because car rental companies have found a new way to slip extra fees. This is according to an article by Ellen Creager in the Detroit Free Press.
