With gas prices sky-high and flights that aren’t much better, it’s difficult to find ways to travel on a budget no matter how much traveling broadens your horizons. However, by implementing the seven tips below, you can definitely save hundreds of dollars during the upcoming holiday months and even enjoy yourself in the process.
現(xiàn)如今汽油價(jià)格飛漲,機(jī)票也便宜不到哪兒去,所以,不論旅行如何能拓展視野,想要窮游還真不那么容易。但下面七大妙招,不僅能讓你在接下來(lái)幾個(gè)月的假期省下大把鈔票,還能使你樂在其中哦。
Stay With Family
跟家人呆在一起
It seems like a simple way to save money, but sometimes staying with family is more complicated than it seems. First, you don’t want to infringe on anyone’s privacy and secondly, there might be other relatives vying for the same space. To avoid the confusion and any awkward moments, be sure to talk to your family members way ahead of time to see how long they would be comfortable with you staying.
這貌似是個(gè)省錢的好方法,但有時(shí)候跟家人呆在一起可沒看上去的那么簡(jiǎn)單。首先,你絕不希望侵犯任何人的隱私;其次,可能別的親戚也正打算到這里來(lái)呢。為避免造成困擾和任何尷尬,請(qǐng)一定提前跟家人打個(gè)招呼,看他們方便讓你呆多久。
Offer to make them a nice meal or take them out to dinner. Trust me, they will greatly appreciate the gesture and you will still save a significant amount of money since a meal out costs much less than 5 nights in a hotel room.
另外,記得為他們做頓大餐或帶他們出去搓一頓。我敢保證,他們肯定會(huì)很感謝您的好意,而且你還能省下不少銀子——畢竟,出去搓一頓的開銷遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)少于在酒店住5晚的花費(fèi)吧。
Do Research On Airline Fees
研究航空費(fèi)用
If you are traveling by plane, be sure to do your research ahead of time. It seems that many airlines change their policies on how much free luggage you are allowed at the drop of a hat. These fees can sometimes be so high, you could have upgraded to first class for less! Avoiding these fees often means less luggage, which means you might have to ship gifts ahead of time. This tip will also help you to keep stress levels down in the airport since won’t be getting any unexpected financial “surprises.”
如果你是乘飛機(jī)旅行,請(qǐng)務(wù)必提前做好功課。航空公司似乎一有變動(dòng)就會(huì)改變政策,免費(fèi)托運(yùn)行李的重量需要注意了。有時(shí)候行李托運(yùn)費(fèi)高得出奇,有那點(diǎn)錢都能坐頭等艙了!要避免這些費(fèi)用就得少帶行李,也就是說(shuō),你最好還是提前把禮物寄過(guò)去吧。這樣做也能為你在機(jī)場(chǎng)免去不少煩惱,不必?fù)?dān)心遇到意外開銷了。
