Flights, hotels, cruises: how to travel and relax in the low season

Flights, hotels and even some attractions become more expensive at the height of the tourist season when crowds of travelers hit the road. But despite the fact that in high season the weather may be more favorable for travel, recreation and walking, the best prices can be found in the low season, writes USA Today.

Airfare drops

Low airfare is one of the many benefits of the off-season. As a rule, prices are highest for summer flights, but in some places the opposite is true: tickets are lower in the hot part of the year. Some winter resorts, such as ski resorts, experience a lack of tourists in the summer, but still have a lot to offer visitors.

Even in places like the Caribbean, there is a drop in tourist flow in the summer. If you are not afraid of extreme heat, you will surely find big discounts on flights to such places. For the biggest discounts, search for “flexible trips” on online travel resources.

Cheap and great places on airplanes

These days, airplane passengers are not only paying for premium seats. Many airlines charge hidden fees for more desirable economy seats, for example, with a few extra centimeters of legroom. For example, Air New Zealand charges an additional $ 1500 for two passengers on Economy Skycouch seats. This board gives you three seats with folding steps and armrests that turn the entire row into a comfortable sofa.

If you fly in low season, you do not need to pay for the best seats. Since long-distance flights are not very popular now, you can create your own “heavenly sofa” by buying an empty economy-class range and asking for a few pillows. You will arrive at your destination rested and ready for fun.

You can stay longer at the hotel

It is well known that hotel prices decline in the low season. You can even purchase luxurious rooms for a lower price. According to The New York Times, Miami hotels often cut prices in high season by 50%. You can take advantage of special offers, such as free service, a free fourth night at the hotel or a large credit for meals in the hotel restaurant.

If you dreamed of spending a budget vacation in Europe, expect lower hotel prices from November to March. It will be cool, but popular destinations at this time are more accessible. Traveling from mid-June to August? Say goodbye to your savings.

Leisure activities cost less

No matter what you plan to do in your free time, you are likely to pay less in the low season. If your list includes relaxing massage or anti-aging facial treatment, book it in the off-season to get more for your money. In July and August, the main city resorts in Miami (under the auspices of the "Month of Spa") reduce their prices to 50%.

You will also find great spa deals when heading out to the ski areas in warm weather. Resorts in Veil, Colorado, for example, offer significant discounts for off-season visitors. If you prefer to spend time on the golf course rather than with a masseur, you will find discounts nationwide.

If you want to go on a safari to Africa or on an excursion to the pyramids in Egypt, restructuring your schedule will save money. According to Travel + Leisure, off-season safari discounts can be up to 40%. For example, during the high season you will pay up to $ 3770 for a family tent in the legendary Cottar safari service, which offers a sunset view over the Serengeti. However, prices for the green season (from mid-March to May) are reduced to $ 2181 per night.

Many travel companies also offer special off-season discounts. Go Ahead Tours, for example, slashes prices on tours around the world - from Alaska to the UK to Italy - during the low season.

You can go on a budget cruise

If you want to relax on an inexpensive cruise, plan a trip in low season. As a rule, the seasons depend on the waterway in question, so study the issue before booking a trip.

Although you can buy a traditional sea cruise at a discount, river boats usually offer better prices. You can get not only a discount on European river cruises in autumn and early spring, but also the best conditions for this time.

It is even more profitable to cruise one way when the ship leaves from one port and leaves you in the other. As a result, you can explore two different cities, enjoying great discounts. Best of all, repositioning cruises are usually less busy, so you don’t have to worry about crowded pools or buffet lines.

Car rental for less money

When you are away from home, it is nice to be able to get around by car, which is why many travelers consider a rented car an integral part of a travel package. As with any other product, rental car prices rise when there are many comers. Of course, this most often happens in high season.

How to get the best rate? Travel in the offseason and book your car in advance. Then check the current price every few weeks until the day you travel. If the best price is available, choose this option and cancel your reservation. You will not pay for this and you can even get a longer lease for less money.

Travel food is cheaper

Food can play an important role in shaping the vacation budget. The more you enjoy a delicious dinner, the more it makes sense to consider the low season for the trip. Remember that supply and demand is a basic rule. As demand falls in the offseason, prices are falling, including food prices. This happens both in popular European destinations and in resort cities of America.

Some cities even spend “restaurant weeks” during the low season. For example, the popular Miami Beach destination is less popular in August and September. During this period, the sultry city of South Florida offers great prices for delicious food. In addition, there is no abundance of people, so booking tables will be easier.

Cheap Rail Travel

You may have decided to choose the train as your main means of travel - for example, if you are traveling in Canada. You can get cheaper tickets if you book in advance and travel during the off-season.

According to South Western Railway, traveling outside of busy periods pays off financially. You'll also have a smoother ride. Consider Alaska: a train ticket between Anchorage and Fairbanks costs $244 in the summer, but only $195 in the winter.
