A great trip doesn't require a great expense. Here are practical ways to cut travel costs without cutting the fun.
Flight Flexibility
Flying mid-week and being flexible by a day or two on either end of your trip can meaningfully lower airfare.
Hotel Loyalty Stacking
Combine a hotel loyalty program with a promo code for a bigger discount than either offers alone.
Local Transport
Skip airport transfers in favor of public transit or rideshare where available — it adds up fast over a multi-day trip.
