[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please just help me understand. [/quote]

I buy tickets 6-9 months in advance for any international travel. I have signed up at different websites so I receive deals in my inbox almost daily. One out of the 50 deals I see match what I am looking for. I have never spent more than $500/- per person for economy airfare. I have paid as little as &300/- pp for airfare to Europe.

Once I buy cheap ticket CT’s, I immediately check 3-4 travel websites ( Expedia, kayak, agoda, TripAdvisor etc) and book hotel/hostel/b&b etc. I usually save 50% by booking this early. Also, we spend very little time in our hotel so we look for one with minimal amenities but at the heart of town so ease of walking around/transportation access etc.

Also, we rarely do check in bags 
(save money) for most travel to Central America,  Europe and Middle East. This is also because we travel with children so we are usually not gone for more than week.

Lastly, we eat one meal at restaurant per day - others are at small cafes or we shops groceries and make sandwiches and buy breakfast items etc.

Hope this helps! We are UMC but are frugal when traveling.
