Travel Resources

Are you planning your next trip, but want to avoid excess baggage fees? With proper packing techniques, enough stuff for at least seven days can fit into a carry-on suitcase without incurring excess baggage fees. Switch out paperback books for an e-reader and ditch those “just in case” items you can pick up at your destination later; also pack performance fabrics like merino wool or synthetic materials which breathe and dry more quickly for clothes you can bring onboard.

Traveling light isn’t just beneficial to your wallet – it’s also better for the experience overall. With less to carry, it will be easier to navigate crowded airports and make last-minute plans without having to find somewhere for your luggage. Plus, you’ll spend less time loading and unloading heavy airline carts, saving both your back and feet from extra strain!

Your packing list may differ depending on your personal preferences and climate of destination; as a general guideline, pack one hat, two pairs of shoes, three bottoms (pants or skirt), four tops (long- or short-sleeve or outer layer), five pairs of socks and six underwear sets to last at least two weeks on travel; laundry can then be completed midway. Finally, include any necessary specific items related to itinerary – for instance travel-sized detergent, stain stick or waterproof bag might come in handy on rainy days!

How to Find the Best Hotel Deals is an actionable guide on finding and booking hotels at discounted rates that save money – financially rewarding, travel savvy and overall amazing!

Start by researching multiple hotel booking sites, such as online travel agencies (OTAs), hotel websites and metasearch engines aggregators/aggregators which search both OTAs and hotel sites simultaneously for results. When reviewing prices for different lengths of stays (one night, two nights etc), your average nightly price should decrease with each added night’s stay – this way saving on costs per night can add up over time!

Another key tip when booking hotels is scouting for hidden fees like resort fees, city taxes and parking garage charges – these can quickly make the cost appear more costly than it actually is. Also try to avoid excessive charges such as calls made from hotel rooms to outside countries by using your own phone or prepaid calling card instead.

One last tip for saving on hotel costs is being flexible when booking your trip date. Being open-minded about traveling during shoulder seasons like April or October could sometimes yield great hotel discounts.

And finally, don’t be intimidated to call the hotel directly once you have an approximate figure from an online booking search engine. Many front desk agents can offer additional services/amenities like free parking or breakfast or room upgrades at their discretion if you contact them directly and request it.
