Although Qatar, Emirates, among others, are excellent companies, considered the best in the world, they can become more expensive and can end up preventing us from doing what we love most: traveling!
Here’s the tip to be aware of price fluctuations, which can both facilitate the purchase (with low prices) and can harm if we don’t buy at the right time (with increases without prior notice). Another important thing to mention is that, like Ryanair, many do not have food or drink on board, nor much legroom, and carry-on luggage is often limited. Opting for a backpack/small suitcase is advantageous, but this requires some flexibility and sacrifices when packing a suitcase and some flexibility on large trips (for example, washing clothes in the middle of the trip – here’s the tip to travel only with one-color clothes, light clothes or dark clothes, to save extra washing and not to spoil clothes). Sometimes, landing airports are not the main ones and this implies alternative transport, which may not pay off when choosing the flight price.
Here is a list of airlines, organized by continent, so you can keep track of the lowest prices.

WHERE TO SEARCH FLIGHTS:
HOW TO TRAVEL CHEAP:
The best way to get cheap travel is to be flexible on your dates, at the destination airport (or even at your destination), have multiple tabs open and search for the same on multiple websites, create alerts (only available on some of the websites) and be satisfied when you find a price below your initial budget and stop the search.
On some sites it is possible to search by dates, without choosing the destination, choose the month without having to enter a specific day and even choose the cheapest month! Check out Skyscanner!
Be super attentive to promotions. Check the airlines pages several times when you know the dates you want to travel!
We also alert you to “hidden” messages (little visible, not so explicit or difficult to access) during the booking process, namely, when they suggest taking out insurance, when they ask if we want to book a seat on the plane, if we want to check in. in a suitcase… sometimes they put the option that we don’t want to click on a color or size that makes us click without reading. Being aware is essential! It has happened to us that they changed the flight date during the booking of the flight and then we had to buy a new trip because the previous one could not be changed because it was low cost. Always confirm everything!
WHEN TO BUY?
There are several theories about when is the best date to buy a trip, but the most consistent one is to buy the flight 4 to 6 weeks before the intended date.
When you want to actually buy the trip, use another computer and, if possible, be in a different location from the place where you did the research. Several websites use cookies and increase prices according to demand. Another option is to clear the history, cookies and open a secret/private page.
BOOKING
Although we end up booking most hotels on booking.com (we have discounts as we are already frequent travelers), we will always confirm the price on the official website of the hotel we are choosing. Many times the booking does not include the best promotion, or food (which can sometimes be more affordable or in case there is no other option).
When booking, they can join promotions, sending links to friends, who also enjoy the discount. The more friends that use the link, the more discount you get!
AIRBNB
We check airbnb.com several times, which sometimes pays off, especially when it’s more than just the two of us.
COUCH SURFING
If you are more adventurous, you can consult couchsurfingcom, which after a simple and intuitive registration, can receive guests and stay with people for free.
NIGHT TRAVEL
Enjoy the nights to travel! Whether by train, plane or bus!
YOUTH HOSTELS
They are cheaper than hostels, but only for those who don’t mind having shared bathrooms and sharing a room with strangers. You can also consult the website hostelworld.com
FRIENDS’ HOMES
Take the opportunity to make international friends on your travels! Offer your home and they will do the same. It’s a great way to have free accommodation and even have local tips, which are the ones who know the destination best and can make your trip much more efficient.
SLEEPING ON THE BEACH, CAMPING OR RENT A MOTORWAY
Take a sleeping bag and, in destinations where the temperature allows, enjoy! Camping or traveling in a motorhome is also a great way to save some money and meet new people.
WHERE TO SEARCH ACCOMMODATION
PASSPORT PHOTOS
It might take some work around the house, but it can save a lot of trouble on the go! Sometimes, in some airports they require this type of photo and charge a lot for this service. Take the opportunity to check the validity of your passport, as it is mandatory to have a passport valid for 6 months!
KEYWORDS
It costs nothing to learn to say “Hello”, “Good morning”, “Please” or “Thank you” in the target language. People like it and it can lead to a closer interaction where unforgettable situations can arise.
BACKUP
Take a disk to back up your photos and videos, don’t let the devil weave them!
TRAVEL KIT
It’s always practical to take a small ball to fit your headphones for the plane, a pill for headaches, a small toothbrush and toothpaste, a face and hand cream, ear plugs, a mobile phone charger, an adapter of outlets and a blindfold. So, when you get on the plane, just take this little bag, which fits perfectly in your seat pocket, and have everything close at hand. If a few snacks fit, in case of emergency, so much the better! Never know…
BUSINESS CARD
In case you get lost, it can be very useful or even to show a taxi driver who doesn’t speak English.
SHARING TRAVEL ITINERARY
It is very important to always have someone who knows where you are or where you are going to be if you know from the outset that you will not be able to contact anyone. Leave your itinerary with someone at home and, if possible, keep breaking news, agreeing with the person the means of communicating, even if it’s just a touch a day.
BAD DAYS
Despite being on vacation, there is always one situation or another that goes worse. Try to take it in sports and think that “it’s part of it”, as the happiest people in the world, the Bhutanese, say! Tomorrow will be a better day.
UNFORCEIVED
Having everything planned allows you to calculate costs, but letting your holidays flow with the wind isn’t always a bad thing… unexpected situations happen that can take you to unknown destinations, but which can be much better than the original ones.
PHARMACY
“Better safe than sorry”, a motto to keep in mind when traveling! Bringing essential drugs to a pharmacy can save you from a trip to a hospital or pharmacy and disrupt your plans. (painkillers, antihistamines, imodium and azithromycin, enjomin for nausea, are some examples) Take a roll of toilet paper in your suitcase for “emergency” situations!
1, 2, 3, 4…
Count how many things you had on you before leaving a location. For example, mobile phone, wallet, camera, suitcase and cap do 6 things, next time you leave a place make sure you have all 6 pieces.
MORNING
Waking up early has its benefits! The day lasts longer, the sunrise photos are amazing and the crowds are absent.
EXCHANGE RATES
The ideal is to change money outside the airport, where the rates are more attractive. Carrying a few dollars from home (a currency that is almost always accepted) is an advantage for the first payments, until you reach the center where you can exchange whatever amount you want.
SCALES
Are you going to make a stopover in Singapore? So look for flights 1 or 2 days later and enjoy getting to know this destination!
PLASTIC BAGS
Take 2 or 3 plastic bags with you, they can be handy to keep those sneakers that smelled better at the beginning of the trip, or dirty clothes.
EXPENSES DAILY
Write down the expenses you have on your cell phone to be able to better control what you spend. Take the opportunity to talk to your bank about using your credit card in the destinations you are going to. And by the way, prepare the fees for the visas you will take on arrival at the airports and the fees for departure.
REVOLUT
A very useful credit card for travelers. It has an app that controls all expenses, they always receive a
message to communicate the last payment and you can even create a virtual card for one-off payments that can be blocked right away.
MAPS ME
An app that allows you to download maps of the destinations you are going to use. Just don’t forget to download it before leaving home!
