Save Money on Your Flight with This Little-Known Luggage Tip
As a travel expert, I’m always on the lookout for ways to save money on flights. And I’ve got a little-known luggage tip that can help you do just that.
When booking your flight, it’s essential to buy luggage at the right time. Prices can fluctuate greatly, and timing is everything. For example, Ryanair offers a priority ticket that includes a cabin bag and a 10kg luggage allowance. But the prices for this package vary greatly, depending on when you book and how many people have already purchased the option.
“It’s worthwhile considering how busy your flight is likely to be.” - Gavin Lapidus, travel agent and director of eShores
If you book your flight during a less popular time, you may be able to snag a better deal on your luggage. And if you’re flexible with your travel dates, you can often find cheaper flights.
Three Money-Saving Travel Hacks
Ready to escape the dreary weather? Here are some tips on saving cash:
Always Compare Flights
Use a flight comparison site like fly-scanner.com or kayak.co.uk to find the cheapest operator on your chosen route. Airlines release tickets up to a year in advance, and the earlier you book, the cheaper flights are.
Be Flexible
You’ll be able to find the best deals if you can be flexible on destination or with dates of travel. Flying midweek is usually the cheapest, while Fridays and Sundays tend to be the most expensive. If you have set dates in mind, try Skyscanner’s “Everywhere” search tool, which will show the cheapest destinations available at those times.
Package Up
You can usually save cash by opting for an all-inclusive deal over booking flights and hotels separately, according to research by consumer group Which?. However, it does depend on the destination, so it’s worth doing your research. Spain was found to be cheaper as an all-inclusive, but you would be better off doing a DIY holiday in Portugal’s Algarve.
Save money on your next trip
By following these tips, you can save hundreds on your next flight and spend more cash on enjoying your dream break. Happy travels!
