Do your research when it comes to travel prices

From experience, you should never assume that the last way you made travel plans will automatically work out to be the best way next time.


As an example, I am making what I class as a fairly routine one-week trip to the Algarve shortly, and my 'go-to' method for such a simple trip would be to arrange everything myself. Book my own flights, transfers, and hotel accommodation.


I am experienced enough to do this both quickly and simply.


Is it the best way? Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.


For this trip, I compared doing it my way with the same offering via Jet2Holidays.


Guess what, and to my genuine surprise, Jet2Holidays were over £50 cheaper on the total cost, as well as offering all the arrangements through one simple app, rather than navigating through at least 3 apps when doing it yourself. A bonus was that the travel times with Jet2 were much better, and at far more sociable times, than those offered by Ryanair when arranging it myself.


Surprisingly, I benefitted from a special winter discount offer of £50.00 as well as a solo traveller discount of £60.00, making a total saving of £110.00 on the overall holiday price. Better in my pocket than theirs.


Before booking your next trip, make sure to do your due diligence and research prices. Comparatively shopping for flights, accommodation, and transportation gives you the chance to save money and find the best deals. Don't be fooled by seemingly attractive deals - always read the full agreement and understand what kind of restrictions you'd be subject to if you make the purchase.


Start planning your trip the smart way and do the price research!
