Hotel discounts
Don’t be shy to ask for any hotel discounts. Some hotels offer discounts if you stay for multiple days. Only do this after you have checked multiple Internet websites to check their rates. Some sites have special deals that can't be made anywhere else.
Air line discounts and / or air miles
Some air line companies offer discounted traveling trips especially during the low season ie. during winter. Other air lines like Ryanair, also launch special offers during short period of time by giving the incentive of booking your tickets are very low prices.
Some air lines also offer air miles for free. Air miles are credits redeemable for free air travel in any of various so-named consumer incentive schemes. If one redeems his / her accumulated air miles, his / her travel ticket becomes cheaper.
Timing
Keep in mind that during weekdays, hotel rates are cheaper than in weekends. This usually sometimes also applies to some restaurants and tourist attractions like museums etc.
Be an early person
Look for restaurants that offer a daily special. Usually these specials are cheaper. If you really want to go at an expensive restaurant, consider going there during lunch, since it is cheaper. Check the Internet for any 2 for one meal deals. Don't be afraid to use a coupon, it can save you a bundle.
Loyalty programs
Join any and all loyalty programs possible. Even if you think you will never stay at this brand of hotel ever again or fly that airline, do it. There are usually other benefits including dining programs that can add to your numbers and lead to getting free rooms or upgrades.
Search the web
Make an attentive search on the web to check for discount show and theatre tickets. You can try to get discounted tickets for the same day performance at the box office or at a discount booth.
Renting
Consider renting instead of staying at a hotel. Usually renting an apartment is less expensive than staying at a hotel. Renting offers the option of eating more.
The above are simple ideas to make your hotel and holiday stay more affordable.
