When traveling,it is important to realize that timing is one of the most important factors when it comes to getting a great deal. No matter if it is timing your trip around meets at work, the kid’s school vacation, or someone’s destination wedding- timing is key. While you are looking for the best deal, remember that the best prices on flights are available to many locations but only if you take the time to do some careful research. You can even find a great price on a flight clear across the country from Los Angeles to New York, across the globe, or anywhere in between. I would suggest you check multiple dates and sites when looking for the best deals- prices can vary wildly from day to day. Many sites offer comparisons in this manner. As with all shopping online, of course you have to be careful  where you actually buy your tickets and where to leave your information. In this day and age, you want to keep an watchful eye out for fraud.

Once you are satisfied that you found the best deal, book your flight and get packing. Check the weather for your destination and of course, remember to bring a sweatshirt just in case.

As they saying goes- don’t forget to bring a towel! Or your toothbrush, also your cell phone charger, that would be a disaster. Then make sure you don’t leave everything at the ten thousand security check points you will go thorough between home and your destination and back again, that’s not fun. And of course, remember not to pack any large shampoos or sunblocks- they will confiscate them. That’s no way to start a trip, by losing something.  Well, not the way you’d like to end one, either, I’m sure.

Now that you’ve done all your research, booked your trip, and packed- just sit back and enjoy your well deserved vacation. Have a great time, and make tons of memories. Share them on social media to keep in touch with friends and family, and to make that one super annoying coworker jealous, haha.
