How to save money by traveling freely 1 If you are free, believe it or not, a complete travel plan can save you a lot of money. Leave if you want, or you have to be rich if you can't play well. A good plan is equal to wasting less time. For the process of traveling, time is money.
2. The strategy should be complete, including at least the time to arrive at the destination, where to stay in the hotel, how to arrange the itinerary, where to eat, how to leave, and so on.
3. So where can I find the strategy? At present, when I travel, I can see the Raiders in three places: one is in Honeycomb (Ctrip, Qunar and other websites also have them), the other is in Weibo, and the third is in Baidu. Honeycomb has its own set of strategies, which are compiled by most cities at home and abroad. In Weibo, there are always all kinds of mobile strategies, which are relatively individual, but the route is usually not perfect. Baidu is suitable for all kinds of messy problems.
It must be noted that because everyone's consumption level and hobbies are different, many strategies need to be integrated. Make your own plan.
Every city has many free scenic spots, especially the bigger the city. When making a travel plan, everyone should check it in advance. This will not only save money, but also greatly enrich your itinerary.
6. Make full use of your time. Get up early in the morning, try to see the night scene at night, see more scenic spots and earn a scenic spot. Because you may not have a chance to go to this city in the future.
7. Design your travel route and don't take detours. When I first wrote "Super Poor Travel Raiders", someone once left a message: She said that she ran four or five scenic spots without stopping in one day and felt that she was great. Did she say I was flying? Later, I looked at her Weibo and saw that she posted all the scenic spots she had visited on Weibo. As a result, I saw that she was originally in the south of the city, then she ran to a scenic spot far north of the city and ran back to the south of the city. But in fact, she doesn't know that she can actually play from the south to the north. I just spent her detour to see other scenic spots. This is all the difference.
How do tour groups save money?
1. Generally speaking, joining a group is not cheaper than traveling alone. But victory lies in saving worry and effort.
Cheap travel usually means that you have to go to many shopping places. When you meet an unreliable travel agency, it will also reduce your play time. If you sign up for a low-cost tour, please hold your wallet and hand tightly when shopping. Take what the tour guide said as his fart. If your personal rights are infringed, please do not hesitate to pick up the video on your mobile phone, and then call 1 10 on the spot, and then call 1230 1 and 123 15 afterwards to report it.
3, pure play group Generally speaking, the price is not cheaper than free travel.
If you want to save money, you can choose to travel in the off-season, that is, in the off-season, the price will be much lower than that in the peak season.
If you sign up for this group, you can compare the prices on several websites and choose the right price.
How to save traffic expenses
1. Choose the appropriate means of transportation according to your income and consumption. This sentence is ridiculous, but it is true. Generally speaking, transportation costs account for about one-third of travel expenses.
Prices of different modes of transportation: cars ≈ ordinary express delivery.
If it is across multiple provinces, then generally choose between sleeper, high-speed rail and plane. At this time, you must remember to buy tickets at least half a month in advance. If you encounter a small holiday, you should be at least one month in advance.
2. Cars:
1. If it is in the province, generally speaking, the price and time difference between cars and general express trains will not be too much, so it is convenient to choose either one.
2. Add a bus ticket. Now many websites can buy bus tickets online, that is, they can buy tickets online through Qunar, Ctrip, Tongcheng and other software, which is very convenient.
In some cities, you can park outside the station, which is cheaper than buying tickets in the station. People often take buses outside various stations, and many of them belong to this category. However, this method is not recommended when your social experience is not rich.
If it is too late, if you plan to cross the city, you might as well try to hitchhike with Didi, which is much cheaper than taking a taxi.
3. Aircraft
1. has the advantage of high speed. Tickets are bought more than a month in advance, and sometimes the price is unimaginable.
You can compare the prices by booking the price calendar of the website.
The closer the ticket is to the departure date, the more expensive it is. If you decide to fly, you should start in time.
If you check your luggage on the plane, please don't be overweight, and don't do anything stupid that the consignment fee is more expensive than the air ticket. Pay attention to the baggage allowance when flying low-cost airlines, because it is really zero.
If there is a lot of luggage, either you wear clothes or I suggest you buy the baggage allowance on the official website of the airline in advance.
6. Special note: Generally speaking, when booking tickets outside official website, you can't check your luggage online. At this time, you can call the official.
7. You can buy the baggage allowance one day in advance, which can save a lot of money. On-site treatment costs are higher.
8. Many websites provide round-trip air tickets, and it is much more cost-effective to buy round-trip air tickets than one-way tickets.
9. Generally, cheap air tickets take off at night, so you should consider the accommodation and transportation problems after arriving at your destination. By the way, the last bus of most airport buses will arrive with the last flight, which means that no matter how late it is, there is a bus that can take you to the city center. If you want to take the airport bus, I suggest that you arrange your accommodation at the station or terminal where the airport bus passes.
10. It is not easy to make it clear in a few words about air mileage. Simply put, when you fly to a certain mileage in an airline, you can exchange a ticket for free. After the transfer, if you take more than 10-20 flights, you can change one. Of course, the rules are actually very complicated, involving card handling, shipping space, airlines or airline alliances. If you can't fly once or twice a year, you can probably ignore this.
1 1. Because most airports are built in remote places, it is recommended that you take an airport bus instead of a taxi (of course, the subway is the first choice for developed cities such as Beijing and Shanghai). Airport buses in most cities arrive with the last plane at the latest.
12.Sleeper: People often go to bed the night before and arrive the next morning. I used this time difference method to save one night's accommodation. If you want to live in the lower berth, you can go to the window of the railway station and buy it in advance. 12306 The berth ticket bought is random.
13. high-speed rail: high-speed rail is fast and comfortable, with the same price and punctuality. I think it's a little. This is the most satisfactory choice when people don't know what means of transportation to choose.
4. Train
Add a tip: during the small holiday, if you can't buy a train ticket, you can remember the number of trains you want to buy first, then buy only a few stops, and finally get on the bus to make up the ticket.
1. Cities with developed subways take subways, and cities without subways take buses. Get the change ready and check the route directly with Baidu or Gaode map. Cities like Shanghai also have one-day subway cards and three-day subway cards, which are very convenient to use and do not need to buy tickets every time. )
2, you can also pay attention to the return taxi, there is a lot of bargaining space, and the price is often very cheap.
3, take a taxi, recommend Didi. You can use WeChat or Alipay to take a taxi directly, which is much cheaper than taking an ordinary taxi.
Bicycle sharing is also a highly recommended mode of transportation. Now you can scan the code directly with WeChat or Alipay, which is very convenient.
If you take a taxi in railway station, airport, bus station and other places, you can ask people around you if there is a carpool.
How to save accommodation expenses
1, when traveling in peak hours (i.e. off-season), the house price is the cheapest. During the non-small holiday, even during the peak travel period, it is cheaper than Saturday and Sunday from Monday to Friday.
2. If there is a small holiday, all hotels will raise prices, and it is normal to double or triple the price increase. Therefore, rooms need to be booked in advance. This does not mean that if you book in advance, the price of the hotel will be lower, but book in advance, which will give you more choices and more cost-effective rooms to choose from. Besides, the earlier you come, the more special rooms in the same hotel.
When you book the house price, it is recommended to compare the prices of multiple softwares. There is usually a price difference of several to ten.
4. In case of holidays, many booking websites will offer many preferential activities and get many coupons. Attention should be paid to it.
When many people travel, this is of course the most economical common lifestyle. When you are alone, you can also find someone who can fight through the internet, but you must call in advance to confirm the identity of the other person to ensure safety.
6. When you are alone, you can also consider staying in a youth hostel, which is more cost-effective. Note: Under normal circumstances, youth travel agencies do not provide personal items such as toothbrushes, towels and slippers.
7. When traveling, choosing accommodation area is a technical job. The first choice is the famous pedestrian street in the city or the nearby night resort, because it is convenient to go back to the accommodation after shopping at night.
8. If you book late, especially during the small holiday, there is no room in the popular accommodation area. I suggest that you can find a room along the subway line and go to a smaller place. You can often find many hotels with high cost performance.
9. Many times, you will encounter the problem of finding a house temporarily. When you are in a hurry, you may just follow the scalper at the station. The price of scalpers is generally dozens more expensive than online. I suggest you use Baidu map to search for nearby hotels. Baidu has done a good job in life inquiry.
10, dormitories in universities are incredibly cheap. It would be great if you have classmates at your destination. Be sure to book in advance!
1 1. In many cities, homestays are not cheaper than hotels. Please pay attention here.
Eat 1 How to save money? First of all, before eating, especially in scenic spots, ask the price first, and then consume. If you think the price is not suitable, turn around and leave immediately! Don't fall into the pit.
You'd better prepare a food guide in advance, look at the recommended shops and eat purposefully.
The restaurants near the university are very cheap. If you are eating seafood, barbecue and hot pot, it is right to go near the university.
The food in the food court is actually similar. Everyone should choose food with local characteristics. You must eat this if you can't eat it in other places.
I don't know where to eat when I eat. You can check it directly with the public comment. Pay attention to identification. Some favorable comments were brushed out. After checking, you can also check the US delegation to see if there are any group purchase discounts.
6. In a city famous for seafood (such as Qingdao), you can buy it at the farmer's market first, and then go to some small shops and let them process it for you. You pay the processing fee, which is very affordable.
7. If you are climbing a mountain or visiting a big scenic spot, I suggest you bring enough water and dry food. Take mountain climbing as an example. Please buy water at the foot of the mountain. The higher you go, the more expensive it is.
8. Before eating, iron chopsticks and plates with hot water. This is not for saving money, just for hygiene.
9. There is less food in the south and more food in the north. I suggest you don't order too much at a time, but add more if you don't have enough.
How to save money in other aspects 1, many scenic spots and famous mountains have paths.
2. Many scenic spots also have tickets for relatives and friends, depending on your contacts.
3. Many souvenirs in the scenic spot don't have much commemorative value.
4. Student ID cards and tickets are half price ~
I bought valuables in the scenic spot and will regret it when I go home.
6. Many cities have tourist passes, so it is very cost-effective to check in advance.
