The top holiday booking hacks from experts to help you save cash on your next trip
20.10.2022 - 21:43 / dailyrecord.co.uk
Winter is not far off and with the days already getting darker and colder, many people will be dreaming about taking a sun holiday.
While the cost of living crisis continues to dominate headlines, experts want you to know there are ways you can save when booking a get-away. In fact, one booking website has shared some insider hacks which can save you up to 30 per cent on your next holiday.
Expedia has released its 2023 Air Travel Hacks Report, providing the latest tips to save travellers time and money on flights. According to the experts, when you travel, what time you fly and even what day you book flights can build up costs.
Jon Gieselman, president of Expedia Brands, said: “This report does more than save people money. It’s about the time savings and peace of mind that comes with knowing you have industry leading data-based tips at your fingertips to inform booking decisions."
Created in partnership with the Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), the global report uses insights from Arc's air ticket database and has been an authority for the last eight years on travel trends, revealing data-backed hacks for travellers.
As reported by Wales online, these include:
“While it has been a volatile recovery, our data indicates travel is beginning to normalize with travelers taking advantage of flying again,” said Chuck Thackston, managing director of data science and research at ARC.
"Airlines have improved their performance while both capacity and traveler demand continue to increase. We're also starting to see business travelers return to the skies following the surge of leisure travel in the first half of 2022.”
