Taking a vacation is supposed to be relaxing, but traveling can be expensive. Worrying about every dollar you spend is stressful, even if you’re doing it on the most tranquil beach in the world. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to save when exploring any corner of the globe. With a little advanced planning and some clever financial hacks, anyone can take an affordable vacation.

How to Get the Most for Your Money When Booking a Vacation

1. Travel in the Off-Season

One of the easiest ways to save a considerable amount of money when traveling is planning a trip during the off-season. In Hawaii, for example, the islands are busiest—and excursions are the most expensive—from mid-December to mid-April and late June to September. Not only will you get better rates by traveling to Hawaii in late spring or fall, but you will also enjoy less congestion and fewer crowds.

2. Clear Your Cookies

When you’re ready to book the flight, clear your computer’s browsing history first. Travel websites rely on cookies to determine if a visitor is serious about purchasing tickets. As a result, they may show increasingly higher rates every time you search because they recognize that the closer it is to the travel date, the more likely you are to book the trip, regardless of cost.  

3. Be Flexible

Most hotels charge more per night on the weekends because the demand for rooms is much higher. Likewise, people often fly on weekends, so flights during the middle of the week are likely to be more affordable.

 

If you’re planning a Hawaiian vacation, book your stay at The Imperial Hawaii Resort in Honolulu. Located within walking distance of the breathtaking Waikiki beachfront, this historic resort is home to one of the most luxurious timeshare properties on Oahu. Their suites provide even more opportunities for frequent flyers to save every time they vacation in the Pacific. You can make reservations by visiting their website or by calling (808) 923-1827.
