Every year, I
try my best to make the great planning for my next trip either with family or
friends. But that don't mean I'm rich or what; I just love to travel around the
world.
I know
travelling can cost a ton of money for non-savvy, but I know some method that
can make great saving for travelling and at the same time, I'm good in making
the great itinerary of my next trip. If my plan for the free and easy trip. I
would like to share some methods that I always use for planning my trip.
IDEA DESTINATION
Normally, when I
don't know where to travelling? Usually, I will visit Matta Fair for getting
the idea. Matta Fair is the big travel expo in Malaysia ; like the people, who love
travelling, they will visit there too. Lucky, this event has two times on every
year; which is on March and September.
Mostly, Travel
Agent Company and Tourism Organization also join in this travel expo. Just in
one place, all the visitors can get the info rmation
for their trip. It's simple and easy. So I can get the info rmation
about the destination and also the price of Travel Agent Company can offer to
me. That is really great travel survey.
Sometimes, the
idea of next destination just pop-up in my head, then I discuss with family and
friends, who are have interested in joining me. After that, I make a survey on
the internet about the destination I will visit soon.
If the
destination I was feels really confident about it, I would like to plan my trip
as free and easy. If not, just take services by Travel Agent Company – who are
can offer a good deal. But everything would come out based on our budget too.
So you are if plan trip by using Travel Agent Company, don't worry about
anything because all will be set up by them. Just enjoy your holiday. But if
you are plan trip as free and easy, just take the a few steps as below, here.
ITINERARY
If I decide to
go travelling as free and easy, I'll do the draft itinerary about the
destination so I'll know how many days should I spend on the vacation before I
choose the travel date to buy the air ticket. Mostly, I will wait until I got
the promotion price of any airlines can offer to me. I make the subscribed to
the newsletters of any Airlines Company on their official website so I can get
the newsletters on my e-mail. It's so useful when I want to know about the
promotion price of the air ticket.
Sometimes, when
I so excited to think about my holiday – I did not notice that I can make the
details itinerary. The all of the info rmation
I needed, I will put all in one itinerary – which are the subway station,
booking confirmation number, address, and more. It makes my holiday is easy.
AIR TICKET
Normally, when
we talk about air ticket – some of them will think the air ticket is quite
expensive but for me, it does depend on the situation too. For sure, I will
avoid buying the air ticket during a public holiday or schooling holiday period
because duration those days the air ticket will be a little bit expensive. This
concept is same when to booking hotel too.
More tricks to
buy the cheaper air ticket are booking the air ticket on mid-night because,
during that time, the internet traffic is not too busy like working days. Then,
try to join any point program under Airlines Company. For example, in Malaysia have
two famous programs under Airlines – which are Enrich Miles Program under One
World Member Airlines like Malaysia Airlines and another one is Big Loyalty
Program under Air Asia. Collect as many points when bought the air ticket, then
redeem the points for them. It's can save your money during travelling.
Sometimes, it also will make you buy the air ticket at the cheaper price or
free too.
HOTEL
Like I say
before this, try not to booking the hotel during the public holiday and
schooling holiday period, even it's in your country or the country that you
will visit soon. Normally, the price during that period is quite expensive. Do
some survey about the public holiday and school holiday before you make any
reservation for your hotel room.
Lucky to me,
when my parents is the member of one the hotel program (Swiss-Garden
International Vacation Club) – which is I can get the member price during I
make reservation of any hotels are affiliated with that member's program even
its in Malaysia or overseas but sometimes it's free too as a member's club. The
member's price is quite cheaper rather the normal price. I think all my friends
and families members already know about this because the most of my vacation
have related with Swiss Garden Hotels.
PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION
The public
transportation is the way to make the saving of travel money during the
vacation period. Mostly, I like to ride the subway because it's easy and
convenient. Try to get an experience like locals on a daily basis because they
are very good in make the saving.
That all the
methods that I always do during make vacation plans. Feel free to make some
researcher or survey for your vacation. That why I can say YES to travel on
every year. Now I can't wait to travel again on next month. I feel so excited
until I thought next week is my vacation's days.
