Do you know more travel tips?
 

Hi! Im a traveler and I've been in many countries in the last years. I've learned many tips I always like to share

1.Travel in low season.
Try to avoid traveling when everyone is looking to get away, there are off-peak times when all rates are lower (hotel, flights, transportation, etc.).

2. Search for coupons.
Have you ever checked the coupon websites? Or, what about the ones inside newspapers? We might don’t take care about them at first sight but coupons are really really valuable when you’re shopping. If you are a fanatic of any brand or store you should search on the web if there’s any coupon you can use and apply on your next purchase. Make a shopping plan.

3. Avoid Taxi Cabs
You may think that taxis are cheap and safe transportation option but, unfortunately, is not always the best. You should book for legitimate companies that can offer you safe and cheap transportation services like Uber or Shuttlewizard.

4. Location is fundamental.
You need to choose an accommodation wisely, checking all the hotel options, location, services they provide, prices and type of rooms. Here's a good site.

5. Pack light.
Packing smart and traveling light will save you extra bucks. You can also take care about your money and documents just using a money-belt.

Never eat berries that grow below waist height on a golf course.

Agree with some, but not with all:

True if one prioritizes money above everything else. That is not necessarily everyone's priority. Family schedule constraints may make this impossible, and high season often coincides with the best weather at the destination. Don't be so dogmatic, "one size fits all."

A good idea unless one is rolling in dough. (I'm not.)

Very location-dependent. True in some places, not others. Singapore taxis, for example, are great.

No problem with this one.

This is FT gospel! That said, if you're going to spend a lot of time in one place, its advantages are often overstated. Again, don't be so one-size-fits-all. Your needs are not everyone's needs.

How does packing light save me money when I can take 30 or 40 kilos each person for free?

I always take taxis.

I travel whenever I want to go somewhere.

I'm a FT reject it seems.

lol :D

Always wrap it.

I traveled as cheap as I could in the old day, at my age, I know I can not take it with me,

I will enjoy the ride, take the taxi, and not worry about it.

Wear a suit and be extra polite. You will be upgraded when you checkin for your flight!

Always drink from a bottle. Always pay cash. And never but ever believe they even remotely like you

A lot of upgrades are now done at automatically at the gate. So this trick doesn't work anymore.

It should still count for something. Tired of sitting next to slobs

So just make sure you dress up your computer ;)

We all get rejected from time to time. ;) With my status I can take 3 70 pound bags for free. Like you, I always take taxis.

Urban legend. An elite in a torn and dirty sweat suit will get an upgrade before a Kettle in a suit.

Agreed. The way to package this as advice would be: Traveling in shoulder season or low season is a good way to save money, if it fits your schedule and goals.

Similarly, the oft-given advice to save money on major foreign travel by shopping for last-minute fares only works for people who can take time off from work on a whim.

Turn on your sarcasm detector. :p
