Finding Cheap Air Travel and Hotel Accommodations

Package Deals

One way of finding cheap air travel and save money is by booking a package deal. As the air travel ticket and your hotel accommodation are all one in you can easily save around 30 percent of your total bill by booking your flight and hotel together.

When you look for cheap air travel online, you will often be given the option of booking it with your choice of accommodation.

Loyalty Pays

Another good way to find cheap air travel and hotel is to start earning frequent flyer points. By patronizing one airline (and its partners) you can earn miles for free. Plus apply for a credit card that gives you miles and you are on your way to deeply discounted (and even free) air tickets, hotel accommodations, amusement park discounts, rental car concessions and much more. Some credit cards also give you a bonus of a few thousand miles just for making your first purchase and often run promotions for double or triple points for spending at partner stores or eating at affiliated restaurants. This is a sure fire way to score cheap air travel.

In addition to being loyal to an airline, you can also get a frequent customer card from a chain of hotels. This way every time you log in for a night at one of their many hotels and motels across the country (or globe) you are one night closer to a free stay. Yes, it is not instant but if you travel anyway, it is a great way of getting something for free after giving a particular hotel you vacation money several times.

Even big supermarkets are joining in. With Woolworths and Big W in Australia you can earn Qantas Frequent Flyer points.

Attend a Time Share Presentation

It may sound like the worst thing to do on Saturday afternoon, but isn't it worth spending 90 minutes of your time for free hotel accommodation for three nights in Mexico or Las Vegas? Yes, the salesperson is trained to convince and subtlety coerce you into buying a timeshare, but if you have decided that you are not in the market for it, you are in no way obligated. The cheap air travel and/or free vacation getaway promised in their invitation is yours either way. So, the next time you get something offered like this, think of it as your small investment towards a good vacation.
