飛去備選機場


When you are heading to a major city or other hub with multiple airports, consider all your options. Flights to alternate airports can be slightly less expensive than flying into a larger, international airport in the same city. In some cases, you might also be closer to your final destination and can skirt traffic. Just make sure to calculate taxi fares from all airports before.

當你要前往某個大城市或是去有多個機場的城市中心時,你要考慮選擇所有可選擇的目的機場。同城的大型國際機場,通常比備選機場要稍微貴一點。有時候,飛備選機場可能離你的終點站會近一點,還能避開交通堵塞。只是在到達前要算一下從備選機場到你目的地的打的費。

在每週對的日子裏訂票和起飛


Shop for airfare on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, suggests Travelzoo’s Senior Editor Gabe Saglie. Most airlines publish their sale fares on Tuesday, which is when competition to match those fares begins each week. You’re also likely to find a better deal when you fly on a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday.

來自Travelzoo’s期刊的高級旅遊編輯Gabe Saglie建議,在週二和週三購買飛機票。大部分的航線在週二會發布折扣,就是在這個時間段開始每週的價格競爭。當你選週二、週三或週六有飛行的時候,你就可能有一個好的折扣價。

用積分信用卡預訂團體遊


Earn bonus miles when booking a group trip by paying for travel expenses using a travel rewards credit card. The best travel rewards card program will allow you to earn extra miles under your own account, and group members can pay you in cash for their portion of the ng airline tickets with a rewards credit card is a smart move, especially if you travel frequently and are planning to take another trip in the near future.

支付預訂團隊遊的旅行費用時,刷旅行積分信用卡,就可以積攢消費積分換里程。 最棒的旅行獎勵積分卡項目這樣操作:團體遊的其他成員用現金支付給你代刷的旅行費用,而你自己的積分卡賬戶下可以獲得額外的獎勵里程。用高額旅遊信用卡購買飛機票是非常聰明的舉動,尤其是如果你出行很頻繁而且計劃在不遠的將來開始另一端旅程。

提早計劃節假日的週末遊


Holiday weekends are among the priciest times to fly, so unless you’re heading to a destination specifically to celebrate the holiday, steer clear of those long weekend trips. The weekend before or after a major holiday usually commands lower rates and fares.

節假日的週末機票往往是最貴的。除非你要去的地方是有特別慶祝節日安排,如果不是則避開那些有公休假的週末旅行。在主要節假日前後一週,一般機票價格都會低些。

保持護照更新


Don’t wait until the last minute to update your passport information if it’s expired. The application process can take up to six weeks, and you’ll pay a set of fees for the service. If you’re an avid traveler, make sure your passport never gets too close to the expiry date before you request a renewal.

不要等到護照過期的最後時刻纔去更新護照。護照更新的申請需要6周左右的時間,你需要爲此付費。如果你是一個熱愛旅遊的人,在你需要更新護照前,永遠都要確保離過期的時限不是太遠。

折扣網站上訂購


Groupon Getaways, Travelzoo and LivingSocial Escapes are three major travel deal sites that will keep you in the know about the latest deals and discounts. You can also sign up for free, membership-only sites like Jetsetter to get exclusive, prenegotiated rates for many luxury hotels and travel packages throughout the country.

學會打包行李


Overpacking can lead to extra checked baggage fees, so make sure you’re packing only what you need. If you’re planning an extended stay trip, get quotes from shipping service providers that will ship and pick up your items to your destination. In some cases, shipping your belongings instead of carrying them in a suitcase will be less expensive.

過多的行李會導致在檢查的時候收取行李費,因此要保證你帶的物品僅僅都是你需要的。如果你計劃一段很長久的旅行,從航運服務供應商那裏蒐集些航運報價,把你的東西航運到目的地。有時候,海運你的物品比把它們用旅行箱隨身攜帶要便宜一些。

洽淡酒店價格


If you can’t find a great deal on a hotel and flight package through a third-party travel site, call the hotel or resort directly and inquire about the best available deals. Sometimes the rates extended by the hotel are lower than those published online. Hotels may need to fill rooms at the last minute, and some will be open to negotiating a rate or package deal.

如果你通過第三方旅遊網站沒有找到好價位的酒店和折扣多的機票套餐,你可以直接打電話給酒店或者旅遊景點,詢問最優惠的價格。有時候酒店的實際價格要比在網上公佈的價格要低。酒店在最後時刻可能需要讓遊客滿員入住,這時有飛酒店就會同意議價或者提供協議優惠。

研究地面交通方式


Don’t wait until you arrive at the airport to figure out how you are going to get to your hotel or resort. Research taxi service providers and rental car companies before you leave so you can negotiate a rate or book a great deal.

不要等到到了機場再去分辨如何坐車去酒店或者旅遊景點。在你出發之前研究一下的士服務提供和租車公司,這樣你能同他們協商一下價格或者預定優惠價格。

在你的目的地找免費消費和贈品


Search for free attractions, events and guided tours at venues throughout the town or city you’re visiting. Keeping activity costs low means you can spend more on a great meal and splurge on other travel expenses. You could also check the daily deal sites at the city you’re visiting to see what types of discounts are available for local activities, events and dining destinations. Consider buying a city pass or similar activity card that lets you visit several attractions for one low price.

在你旅遊的鎮或城市,尋找免費的景點、活動和導遊。保持日常活動低消費意味着你能有更多的錢吃大餐和在其他旅遊花費上揮霍。你也可以在當地的日常交易網址找找有什麼當地的優惠活動或者折扣餐廳。考慮買一張城市景點通行卡或者類似的優惠卡,這能讓你用低價格參觀好多景點。
