The price of holidays can fluctuate a great deal throughout the year, so you can save a lot<br />
if you are flexible with your travel dates and avoid peak holiday times. It can be also<br />
cheaper if you book well in advance. Before your departure, make sure you get as much<br />
<br />
information about your destination as you can. Find out if you require any special visas<br />
or permits to travel there. Think about spending money as well. Will you be able to<br />
access your own money easily enough or will you need to take cash with you? Think<br />
about eating larger lunches and smaller evening meals to help your money go further, as<br />
lunch is generally cheaper. Make sure that you keep sufficient identification with you at<br />
all times. It may also help to email a copy of your passport details to yourself, in case it<br />
is lost or stolen. Label your suitcases clearly so that they can be easily identified as<br />
yours. It can be useful to store a copy of your itinerary in a prominent place in your<br />
suitcase so that the airline will know where to find you if your luggage gets lost. Be sure<br />
to pack any medication or other essential items in your hand luggage. If your flight is<br />
delayed, or your luggage is lost, these can be difficult to obtain in an airport or foreign<br />
country.<br />
