A selection to find the best travel site for your holidays, useful for booking a last minute.
Summer is upon us that's why I want to give you some tips on how to increase the possibility of finding what you are looking for on the web for your holidays:
1. Always compare at least two offers to compare them and you will surely find the best.
2. Book your flight only three weeks earlier. Six months before departure, tickets cost at least 20% more than the price they will have three weeks before the scheduled departure date.
3. Book your travel oa January and September; in these two months the sites and tour operators update their offers and therefore you can find interesting promotions.
4. Always look for offers during the day Tuesday. This is the best day because cancellations almost always arrive on Mondays and during the week the holes fill up. Don't wait for the weekend.
Best travel site
How to find low cost flights? There are many ways to find the best and most suitable structure for your needs today. Once booking services were individual platforms and managed users separately without them being able to communicate, for some years, however, things have changed. Through the Internet, users can communicate and share their experiences: comments, opinions and opinions on hotels, residences and holiday homes are everywhere and the solutions to book and choose your holidays are many.
The new tools are based on search engine with which to indicate thegeographic area or common where you want to stay. So you can almost always select the type of property where you want to stay: hotel, residence, board, Flat for rent, camping, bed and breakfast, etc.
You can almost always indicate the price range you want and any options, such as the possibility of having single rooms, also accommodate pets, the presence of kitchens or kitchenettes. Finally, the function to indicate the date of arrival and departure.
More advanced vacation sites also show a button or page to check availability and make the reservation directly. Before this step it is important, however, to consult any Comments o reviews of other visitors. The hoteliers cannot touch up the opinions, it would affect the reliability of the system, which of course must be impartial.
In addition to these online tools, there are other tricks that web vacationers can use: forums related to travel and holidays, with advice but also recommendations for hotels and accommodation.
- Google Maps, for example, it allows you to check the size of the hotel pools or the real distance between the booked structure and the beach, but also to take a look at the area in which your accommodation is located.
- With Google Street View you can see what the chosen place really looks like.
- Su Facebook you can take advantage of the community to get advice and opinions or use Twitter than with hashtag allows you to follow threads tagged by keywords and check if anyone has gone on vacation to the hotel you are interested in.
