In this page I have listed my favourite website that can be used for successful travel planning. Before doing any bookings, consider the following things:
- Price. Although there is a high competition within the booking sites, price differs. Always check several competitor sites before booking.
- Flexibility. When you book your accommodation/airline tickets, make sure that modifications are permitted. Cheap airline tickets are usually non-refundable (except airport taxes). Hotel reservations are usually refundable/changeable up to 1 day before check-in date.
Below is the list of resources that I use for my personal travel planning, as well as links to some other good travel blogs. Note that some of the links are referral links, meaning, at no extra cost for you, I will earn small commissions from your booking that will help to reduce the costs of running this blog.
Searching flights
- Azair is probably the best site to find low-cost airline tickets. You can also search for connecting flights using this site.
- Travelfree Travel free is a blog with a frequent update about airline promotions and extremely cheap error fares.
Travel insurance
Travel Nomad insurance is a highly recommended insurance among travel professionals.
Hotels
Hotellook.com compares prices for hotels on different booking sites, so you get the best deal.
Apartment rent
With Airbnb you can book a room or apartment directly from the property owners. Our readers will get a 25 USD welcome bonus (bonus will apply automatically when you click the link).
Private Transfers
Kiwi taxi is a great place to find inexpensive private car transfers, it is especially recommended if you arrive very late at the destination airport, or in case your departure time is at early morning when public transport is not operating. The taxi driver will meet you as close to the arrivals area as the airport rules allow. Search for the transfer in the bar below – search results will appear in a new window.
Car rental
You can compare offers from different car rental companies here (service provided by Economybookings.com – leading car rentals comparison service. Search results will appear in a new window.)
