Traveling without breaking the bank, we all dream of it! But it is sometimes difficult to find your way around with all the sites and search engines that now exist and that all offer you cheap trips. So we've sorted it out for you. Here are all our tips for a cheap trip.

Plan your vacation as early as possible

If you plan your vacation in advance, this is the best way to get a cheap airline ticket. This applies to both regular and low-cost lines. A Paris-Beauvais/Stockholm ticket can cost you 50 € AR if you book 2 months in advance and 150 € at the last minute . The rule is always the same: the longer you wait, the higher the prices, especially if you leave in high season. For your hotel nights, it is also necessary to get there early for the same reasons. The triprebel site offers a selection of hotels adapted to your budget but once you have booked, if prices go down, the site cancels your old reservation to make a cheaper one automatically. If a hotel similar to the one you booked becomes cheaper, they will notify you and offer to book it for free by cancelling your previous reservation.

If you book at the last minuteIn

these cases, turn to booking platforms that compare flight prices on all airlines simultaneously. The Skyscanner platform is one of the best known and most efficient. But if you don't care about connecting time, and you're ready to do a Paris/Miami in 30 hours (instead of 9 hours on a direct flight) for example, we advise you rather skypicker which is also very practical if you're only looking for a cheap one-way flight (but the proposed airlines are not always the most reassuring...). It's up to you to sort it out according to your budget constraints.

Another possibility is the Rome2rio platform, which offers combined flights/trains/buses for maximum savings, but here again, the journey may be longer. Example: for a Paris-New York, you fly to Philadelphia then you take the train to New York. You lose 2 or 3 hours but you can save up to 200 €.

Good accommodation plansTo

save money on accommodation, we recommend that you do a search

on the

airbnb or wimdu sites, so you can rent a room or studio at a lower cost, usually starting at €30 per night. It will therefore cost you less than in a hotel, unless you opt for a hostel. But take a good look at the area where the apartment is located beforehand so that you don't find yourself 10 km from the city when you're looking for accommodation in the city centre to save on transport costs . For example, in New York, if you are not careful, you can easily find yourself in the middle of New Jersey, instead of Manhattan!

Another possibility: the Poshpacker website which offers a selection of cheap but also design or cosy hotels, all over the world, from 50 € per night.
If

you are going on holiday with friends living abroad

If you have friends in different countries of the world and you want to go on holiday with them, the seeusoon site quickly calculates which city you can meet and stay in at a lower cost via airbnb . If, for example, you have friends in Berlin and London and you are based in Paris, the platform may very well suggest you fly to Prague and sleep in airbnb accommodation as the flight+accommodation prices are particularly low on the dates requested. The seeusoon site is a really good plan, very practical, if you don't care about the destination of your holidays and you especially want to have a good time with your friends abroad.
