Very cool design & info! Shared!
I would also suggest using Wander – which helps you search by budget, so it can help in some cases.
Wow! This was completely new way of organizing all information about saving money while traveling. I had never quite looked at size of the airport to decide where to fly into…this was new and pretty useful information already :)
I also like the simple tips (especially on discounts for elders – like for my mother)…we often forget to look at these, so a checklist really helps out on that.
Glad to see that infographic mentions Couchsurfing. A decade back I used to do a lot of Couchsurfing, though I have not used it lately. Though it helps you save money, to me it was more of cultural immersion for me. Everyone who stayed with me or who I stayed with our some of my best traveling friends.
Price alerts is another great way to save money and of course using the public transport always help.
I am 100% behind choosing connecting flights to save money. We actually try to find the most connections we can in any one flight (provided we have some extra time) and have lengthy layovers so we can get outside and explore a new city for “free”.
I love that one tip is to follow your favourite bloggers. Great advice!! I hate wasting money on travel when I can save a few pennies here and there for fun activites when I am travelling.
Great graphic. Is it Canva? I’ve been using Canva a lot lately for graduate school assignments.
These info graphics are so organized and well presented. When I travel with family I look for student discounts for my kids. Also I try and book in one particular hotel chain. I have availed discounts several times from them. In Germany we got a free stay for 2 nights! Haven’t signed up for price alerts yet. I need to do that.
My wife and I love traveling as much as we can and the easiest we’ve found to extend our travels is to do it as cheaply as possible, especially the small stuff. Bringing our own water bottles and food to the airport has saved us a lot of money over the years, and it’s so easy! We love the discount airfare sites, thanks for more so we can do more research! Thanks for sharing!
Without getting broke. haha that sounds so me – got broke before I even learned some travel hacks on how to save to travel! I like Skyscanner and Rome2rio. Both of them are really helpful in comparing flights, things to do and other things that are related to travel. And I agree with the last one, consider a travel agent. Sometimes travel agents are actually nice and won’t rip you off. In Hanoi, I have a favorite travel agent, she always gives us a huge discount, that we could save more bucks than DIY!
Great ideas! Wonderful article.
Awesome infographic!
This infographic has been a real eye-opener. They even have optimum times of the day to land best deals! I must admit I am a total novice when it comes to travel hacks. Have to learn a few tips…about time.
Awesome infographic with great info. I love that you included telling your financial institution that you’ll be gone, that’s one I always forget.
wow, that’s a lot of information!
Some of them I understand but some others I had not thought of. Actually, you don’t always remember things when you are in a hurry. So good to have a ready reckoner. I think I should save this infographic for future reference.
