We’re moving into the final stages of the summer travel planning season. 1

Some have secured their 2023 travel adventures in 2022. If that’s not you, it’s not too late to start now. To help you out, five tips are below:

If you’re prepared to travel, don’t prolong your decision to snag an offer if it’s what you like! We all get those pesky pop ups in our search engines and emails, and most of which seem to be useless. However, with so many out there, travel companies have to go beyond the typical stretch to attract customers, and the easiest way to do that is to bring the best deal right to your device. That means offers can quickly change and time is of the essence.

Be flexible with your dates! If you haven’t prepared early, then buying a last minute deal can be one of the best trips you’ll ever experience. Have an idea of a time frame that you’d like to travel in, and be flexible enough to let the search engine tell you when the deals are hot! You can both save money and be on your way to paradise within 60 days of booking.

Use apps like Hopper, that have predictive technology and determines when the best time to book a trip will be. Some of these with a small deposit, allow you to “freeze prices” for a specific window of time, if you find a deal but aren’t quite ready to finalize your plans.

Take advantage of the reward points you’ve accumulated with travel partners, primarily because you’ve earned them! Mostly every company these days has a rewards program of some sort, and travel partners are no different. From credit cards, to airlines, rental car companies and hotels, oftentimes, points can be used in lieu of and save you money on future trips.

Hire a trusted travel agent that can simplify your needs and take the guesswork out of the process for you. Particularly if you’re a frequent traveler, interested in a new destination to explore or are booking travel for a group of individuals (personal or business). Using an agent can help you navigate your travel and make an informed decision about your upcoming vacation.

Happy traveling!
