Go incognito to make the booking.
Switch to the incognito
mode in your browser. In an otherwise situation, you will be shown the price
based on your previous search history. This is why you must always use the
incognito mode to book flights and hotels.
Opt for a mid-week stay.
There are more chances of
you finding affordable hotel rooms in the middle of the week. Weekends are
generally pricier, especially Friday and Saturday. Sunday tends to be the
cheapest of all since most people fly back on that day so that they can get
back to their usual routine starting Monday.
Prefer to go during the off-season.
We are all aware that when
it is the holiday season, every hotel, big and small, is overcrowded and
pricey. The best is to go during the off-season when finding an affordable
hotel is considerably easy and the tourist spots are also not
overcrowded.
Book flight and hotel together.
There are lot many sites
out there that will offer you great discounts when you book a flight and hotel
together. Make sure you check the prices of booking them separately before
opting for a combo. This will ensure that you get the best deal.
Surf through different sites.
You cannot make a booking
at the first site that you come across. You must go through more than just a
few of them to find the one best deal. Many sites will offer the same hotel
room at a much lesser price than the one that you must have viewed in the first
instance.
Keep your eyes open for promo codes.
Promo codes are available
not just on hotel sites but also other sites through which you can book an
affordable hotel for your stay. You must search online coupon codes which can
save you a lot of money. You can also visit the social media pages for great
discounted deals and to check if any promotions are running.
