You may have used your student ID to get a discount on movie tickets, a transit pass or book store purchase. Did you know that there are student discounts for airline tickets, as well? Nor do you have to go on an official student tour to get it. Here are a few secrets to finding very cheap student flights.

Flight

Know the Rules Before You Search

Student flight discounts give you access to cheap flights aimed at students between 12 and 25. Many airlines provide discounts to this demographic in order to generate lifelong loyalty. It is similar to credit card companies offering deep discounts to be someone’s first credit card, one they will almost feel bad about cutting up regardless of the interest rate charged. How do you get a student discount? We’ve already mentioned the age restrictions. Expect to provide additional information. It is common for them to ask what school you’re currently attending, while some require you to provide a copy of your school ID. Others will let you book the student flight rate as long as you have the right promo codes.

Do Your Research

Know that the discounted rate you are offered may not be the best deal out there. For example, those shopping for Emirates airline flights should do a search for student discounts as well as any other discounts. You may need to do a search through different flight search portals to do an accurate comparison. Find the ideal flight at the right price. In fact, you could find a great deal and then see if an additional student discount is available. This prevents the classic problem of being forced to select from the few designated, discounted student flights.

travel research

Another variation of this advice is to use flexible dates instead of exact dates. You might save money by leaving Friday night instead of Saturday morning. Or depart on Sunday morning instead of Monday. Return a day or two earlier, and you could save hundreds of dollars. Compare the price of two one-way flights instead of a round trip. You could save 20 percent or more, and you gain extra flexibility regarding arrival and departure dates.

Be Willing to Change Flights

Direct flights are more convenient, but they are often the most expensive. Yet tour groups love direct flights, since they don’t have to herd a group of 50 students through two different airports. However, you could save money by searching for flights in combination. For example, you could land at a regional airport and then hop to another regional airport instead of landing a major airports like Heathrow or Dubai International Airport.

Student flight

Go Through Agencies that Work with Students

Whether you’re flying solo, in a small group or in a large group, consider working with a student agency. These travel agencies can take advantage of group discounts as well as student discounts when arranging your travel. For example, you might get a discount for taking the last few seats on a flight filled with students from a particular school. Now you get a group discount though you are not officially part of that group. However, you’ll still want to do your own research so that you know that their prices are competitive.

Flight Booking Tips for A Savvy Traveler http://www.thetravelerszone.com/travel-tips/flight-booking-tips-for-a-savvy-traveler/ http://www.thetravelerszone.com/travel-tips/flight-booking-tips-for-a-savvy-traveler/#respond Fri, 24 Apr 2020 14:19:18 +0000 http://www.thetravelerszone.com/?p=13754 Booking your flight is one of the most important aspects of vacation planning, and it affects the rest of the trip.

Booking your flight is one of the most important aspects of vacation planning, and it affects the rest of the trip. Choose the wrong dates, the wrong airline or simply a bad time, and you’ll pay for your mistake. You might pay too much or wait longer than necessary at the airport. Here are our top flight booking tips for the savvy traveler.

Plan As Far in Advance as Possible

Book your trip as early in advance. Flight booking is cheaper if you book at least three weeks in advance. Trips will be even cheaper if you book several months in advance. Some people are afraid to book that early because their travel plans may change. One solution is to book through an airline that lets you change the flight without penalty. Another is to get travel insurance. This adds extra protection, such as reimbursing the cost of tickets if the flight is canceled due to bad weather or civil unrest at the destination.

Take Advantage of the Tools Available to You

Set price alerts when you’re planning your trip. You will get notices of flyadeal when flights become available, and you could get information about discount airlines. This could help you find “hidden flights”, such as when you’re offered discounted seats on flights mostly full of student and professional groups traveling to a conference.

Use tools that help you take advantage of airline miles to get a discount. Use tools that help you compare direct flights to connecting flights, so you don’t waste time sitting in an airport in the mere hope of saving money. Before you book your plane tickets, use a travel portal that lets you compare airlines instead of only comparing flights by the same airline.

Travel in the Almost Off-Season

Tourist destinations often have seasons. For example, family friendly destinations tend to be busy during the summer and school breaks, because that’s when families can go together. If you don’t have such schedule restrictions, travel when everyone else is at work or in school. Flights and hotel stays will be cheaper. However, very few people want to visit Alaska in the winter or Arizona in the summer. The solution is to travel in the almost off-season. Visit the summer destinations in the spring or fall. It may be warm enough to enjoy the water, many of the tourist destinations are open, but you won’t have to pay as much or need to fight crowds.

Be Flexible

You could save a lot of money by being flexible. One option would be landing in a nearby city and taking a train, taxi or rental car to the destination. Another option is traveling in the middle of the week instead of a Friday or Monday. If you’re traveling at the last minute, consider budget airlines instead of just shopping the name brand airlines.

Take Advantage of Deals

You shouldn’t be over-spending while promising yourself you’ll eventually use those travel miles tied to your high credit card balance. However, you should be trying to use your travel miles and any airline loyalty program points when you book your next flight. Research the options before you book the flight. For example, you might be able to get a discount using your points and miles if you fly on a Thursday instead of a Friday. Or you may be able to redeem these rewards to get a free upgrade to first class or discount on luggage fees.

4 Places To Spend The 2020 Olympics If You Aren’t Going To Japan http://www.thetravelerszone.com/travel-destinations/places-to-spend-the-2020-olympics/ http://www.thetravelerszone.com/travel-destinations/places-to-spend-the-2020-olympics/#respond Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:48:22 +0000 http://www.thetravelerszone.com/?p=13712 Every four years summer travel can take on a slightly different mood, as much of the world tunes in for the Olympic Games.

Every four years summer travel can take on a slightly different mood, as much of the world tunes in for the Olympic Games. Granted, not everyone pays attention, but there are few events that bring the world together like this, and it can have the effect of making time seem to stand still for a few weeks. This can make an Olympic summer feel like a break from everyday life even if you don’t travel – but it also makes for a great time to take that big international trip you’ve been putting off.

Naturally, one thing that will come to mind if you’re planning this kind of getaway is attending the actual Olympic Games. For 2020, that means a trip to Tokyo or the surrounding area, where Japan is gearing up to put on a show for the world. If the ticket and accommodation prices and crowds just seem like a little much though, or if it’s just getting too late to make plans, we’ve put together a list of some more excellent places to spend some time during the 2020 Olympics.

1. Australia

The fact that the summer Olympics fall during Australia’s winter season is worth keeping in mind for two reasons: it makes traveling there cheaper, and it’s still not too cold, with temperatures in much of the country only dropping to about 50 degrees Fahrenheit. That means you’ll be able to enjoy many of the natural attractions people visit Australia for in the first place, but spend a little less than you would by visiting during peak tourist season.

Australia

As far as the Olympics are concerned, there will be no shortage of opportunities to watch the Games in between your various explorations of the country and its limitless activities. Australia loves its sports, generally, and may be particularly drawn to the 2020 Games. We’ve mentioned surfing events in previous recommendations for visiting this country, and indeed Australia may love its surfing more than any other country in the world. With the beloved sport newly in place for Olympic competition in 2020, Australia will be hoping to make a mark. Numerous Aussie athletes on the men’s and women’s side have qualified and will be vying for medals (with Australia also expected to be competitive in numerous other sports).

2. Thailand

Thailand is a breathtaking place to spend some time during any summer, and provides a perfect setting for Olympic viewing: You can go scuba diving one morning before watching sports all afternoon, or simply duck out for a platter of world-renowned street food in between events. But Thai sports fans may also be taking extra interest in the Olympics these days.

Thailand

For one thing, their beloved Muay Thai is being considered for Olympic inclusion in the near future (though not yet in 2020). For another though, the very strong women’s national football team has a good chance to qualify – and even if it doesn’t, Thais should be engaged with Olympic football. They have strong interest in international football stars, and no deposit bonus setups for football wagering online also represent one of the only legal betting opportunities for Thai sports fans, allowing them to do some strategic gambling on the beloved sport. Add it all up and you have a beautiful destination, your pick of sports to watch, and a country that should be particularly interested in certain aspects of the Olympics.

3. United States

The U.S. is likely to be as interested in the Olympics as any other nation, given its collection of high-profile athletes who will be taking center stage. Simone Biles, who recently became the most decorated gymnast in history, will be one of the true headliners of the Games; Katie Ledecky will be a common pick to dominate the women’s swimming events; and the American men’s basketball team will be on a mission after a disappointing showing at the FIBA World Cup this past summer.

United states

These and other Olympians will make the American team the likely favorite for the highest medal count, and you can rest assured it won’t be difficult to watch the Games no matter where you’re visiting specifically (even if coverage on networks like ESPN will skew to favor U.S. athletes). This leaves you with all sorts of fun options. You can visit a luxury ski resort town like Aspen, which turns into a gorgeous hiking destination in the summer; you could rent a beach house on the East Coast, splitting your time between laying out on the sand and watching the Games; or you could use the time to visit a major city, where you’ll be able to watch the Games out in public alongside other enthusiasts.

4. Great Britain

Not unlike the U.S., Britain will make for a fun place to spend the 2020 Olympics because there’s a great deal of national interest in a number of different sports, and the local athletes are expected to be competitive. Britain has been among the top medal-winning countries in Europe in the last few Olympics, and will be looking to continue the trend across numerous sports (with boxing, equestrian, rowing, and sailing being some of Britain’s best).

Great brtain

Summer can also be a good time to be in Britain in general, with relatively mild temperatures (usually no higher than 90 or so Fahrenheit in the warmest areas) allowing for full exploration of the country. That means you can stay in the beautiful Lake District if you like, hiking or kayaking when you’re not watching the Games, or you can make yourself comfortable in one of the charming coastal towns along the country’s underrated beaches.

If you can’t make it to Japan for the 2020 Summer Olympics, you can still treat them as a fun occasion to travel. And the truth is there are many places in the world where you can enjoy yourself, watch the Games at your own pace, and enjoy some of the local perspective on the action. But the four suggestions above should be considered as particularly fun Olympic getaway when you set about planning your 2020 vacations.

Croatia may not be the first country that comes to mind when you think of the perfect beach vacation, but it should be. The small European country boasts some of the best beaches in the world, and it is a cheaper destination than Greece or Italy. You can live out your island fantasy on Hvar, explore the quaintness of Dubrovnik, Split, and other towns, and do so much more.

If you’re planning a trip to Croatia, chances are you’re not going to stay in one place. The island of Hvar is a favorite among tourists, and all it takes is a ferry to get there.

Confused about the process? Click here to book a ferry Split to Hvar and follow these guidelines.

Traveling In Croatia

Decide on dates

Sometimes, traveling with no discernible plan can be a great way to induce spontaneity. You land in a city and discover it on your own, without the biased recommendations from guidebooks. However, if you want to go on a trip that lets you see the best of a number of cities, you need a bit more advance planning.

Decide on how long you want to spend in each town or island. Take a look at what each has to offer and see what most appeals to you. If you would rather lie by the beach than walk around cities, you should make a decision that reflects that.

Once you know how long you want to spend in each place, find the best dates to do so according to your work schedule or itinerary. Having clear dates in mind will make booking a ferry easy. Look at the times available on the various ferries as well. If you want an extra day at your destination, you want to leave as early as possible.

Choose a ferry operator

Those of us who don’t live in coastal cities and don’t have islands just a short ride away are unfamiliar with the process of booking a ferry. In truth, it is similar to booking any type of intercity transport. Compare your options and book the one that you feel most comfortable with. They differ based on the speed at which they travel, the comfort, and the various promises they all make.

Reviews will tell you what other travelers have experienced, but an aggregated idea is better than focusing on one or two particular reviews. All ferry operators have trouble with delays and postponements. Ultimately, you’ll need to choose one which seems most reliable and which provides good customer service.

Consider your stomach

Even if you suffer from seasickness, you can take a ferry. Since you can be inside the whole time, you shouldn’t have too much of a problem. However, if you are particularly sensitive, you should consider the lesser of two evils. Ferries which go faster are more likely to give you problems, but will at least get there as quickly as possible. On the other hand, the slower ferries are unlikely to bother you, but if they do, you’re in for a longer ride.

In the end, this should not be too big a factor in your decision. You are probably not going to have a problem, and ferry rides between Split and Hvar are quite short in any case.

If you follow the above guidelines, booking the right ferry will be easy.

The thought alone of trying something that is authentic, famous and delicious is exciting. Different cultures have different specialities. These are the ones you should target when you travel. Although some might be excited and open to try different varieties whereas some might be afraid to explore. Listed below are 8 must try exotic foods that are not worth skipping if you have a chance to get your hands on them.

8 Must Try Exotic Foods While Travelling Around the Globe

1. Kangaroo

This tall animal with a pouch reminds us of Australia because Kangaroo is it’s national animal. But very few people know that the national animal is served as an exotic meal in the continent.  The Kangaroo meat is rarely exported outside Australia and is the most expensive red meat available in the world, except in Australia where they are bred. Reportedly it tastes like any other red meat but trying it would be enthralling as well.

2. Starfish

These colourful creatures are loved by everyone and many people keep it in their aquariums as well. But the trends in China are a little different as there; starfish is loved as a part of food. Starfishes are difficult to eat because of their hard and spiny outer skin but their inner body is very soft. They are deep fried in oil and are preferred without sauce.  Several other sea animals like sea urchins, seaweed, jellyfish etc are also a part of the Chinese diet.

3. Haggish

Haggish is the national dish of Scotland. It is a type of pudding made of internal organs of a sheep like heart, liver, lungs, and kidney. They are chopped into minute pieces and are filled into the stomach lining of sheep. The native flavours make this dish exotic. It is served with alcohol and mashed turnip and potatoes. Health conscious people might not like it much because of the mild spices and its fatty nature.

4. Frog legs

Eating frogs is common in many countries but frog’s legs are one of the most famous dishes in France and China. They are also consumed in Italy and Indonesia. You do not need to worry, for you are served non-poisonous frogs only.

5. Poke

This is a combination of raw Yellow fin Tuna, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, chilly and onion. It is usually served with steamed rice and is a delicacy to eat in Hawaii and USA.

6. Pad Thai

This is a traditional Thai dish that is available in both vegetarian as well as non-vegetarian versions. It is made of chicken, shrimp or tofu with sauce. Whichever you may pick you will find that it tastes like peanuts and soft noodles. You can also add eggs to this dish.

7. Quesadillas

This is a Mexican dish for vegans and is famous for its rich flavour. It has cilantro, red onions, and scallions. You can also add cream to enhance its taste.

8. Coconut curry

This is another vegetarian dish that comes straight from India. This is a creamy dish including vegetables like broccoli, carrot, onion along with a little cinnamon.

What do you imagine when you think of Italy? Maybe you picture Rome and its incredible history. Perhaps the uniqueness of Venice comes to mind. Very many of you will think of the wonderful dishes the Italians have given us. Who of us could live without pizza and pasta?

A word many people won’t immediately use is “picturesque”. There are many more defining features of Italy than its views, aren’t there? Well, this perception has led to friends telling me they were skipping Italy because they wanted to go somewhere beautiful, like Greece or the South of France.

The thing is, those who have visited more of Italy than Rome or Venice know that it has some of the most stunningly picturesque regions in the world. They range from coastal to mountainous, and almost everything in between.

If you’re looking for a vacation with magnificent beaches, landscapes, and towns, visit the following regions in Italy.

The Amalfi Coast

Start by looking for some incredible Amalfi villas. The Amalfi Coast stretches just fifty kilometers (or a little more than 30 miles), but is host to some of the most gorgeous towns and beaches on earth.

The town of Amalfi itself is perhaps the most well-known, and therefore it is packed with tourists over the peak period. This might get a bit much for some people, but those tourists are there for a reason. The town is dotted with charming houses and shops of different colors, but the main attraction is its cathedral. The architecture will take your breath away, with its magnificent facade and grand interior.

The Amalfi Coast

When you’re done with Amalfi (or if you choose to avoid its crowds), there are many more towns for you to visit that are as picturesque. The town of Sorrento is literally coastal, with beautiful buildings lining the coast. The town of Positano is infinitely “Grammable”, with its pastel-colored houses. Praiano is far less crowded than other towns but has some of the best views.

There are a range of incredible beaches, with crystal clear water, but the most stunning natural feature is the Grotto dello Smeraldo (or Emerald Cave). You can take a boat ride into one of the only caves in the world that is bathed in natural light. That light, of course, is emerald green, and you won’t quite believe what you’re seeing.

Lake Como

Lake Como is known as the vacation destination of the rich and famous since time immemorial. Seriously, rich Romans used to holiday there. These days, you’ll find figures like George Clooney and Richard Branson. In this day and age, they have far more options than the Romans but seem to agree that Lake Como is pretty amazing.

The lake itself is an inverted Y shape, with three branches that meet at the town of Bellagio. It is, of course, incredibly picturesque. It is also one of the deepest lakes in Europe, at 425 meters (or almost 1,300 feet).

Lake Como

The city of Como should be at the top of your agenda, as it is the birthplace of Renaissance architecture. You can also take a funicular from there to the mountain town of Brunate (yes, it’s a town on a mountain!). Don’t forget to spend at least a day in Bellagio, with cobblestone streets, the best view from a promontory where the branches of the lake meet, and one of the most famous villas  – the Villa Serbelloni.

And that brings us to the villas, one of Lake Como’s most famous features. These villas were vacation or actual homes to important people once, and they were built with opulence and longevity in mind. The architecture is beautiful, and you can spend hours in some of their gardens.

Tuscany

Tuscany is home to the famous city of Florence, among plenty of other attractions. Florence is usually mentioned after the names of Rome and Venice, but that does not mean it isn’t the perfect destination for a vacation. It is the second biggest city in Italy, after Rome, but is picturesque in a more vivid way than Rome is. You’ll also find some of the most important Renaissance art there, including Michaelangelo’s David.

Tuscany

But Tuscany isn’t all about Florence. On the contrary, you can spend days in any one of the towns in this region. It is the perfect destination if you want time out in the country. Siena, a medieval hill town, is simply gorgeous. You can stop by in Pisa to take a photo with the leaning tower (it’s one of the less exciting Tuscany towns). The walled city of Lucca is another favorite of travelers.

Tuscany also has a wine region where you can see the vineyards, stay in beautiful villas, and go wine-tasting of course. Tuscany’s wine is some of the best in the world, and you can get it cheap at the wine farms where it is made.

If you want to spend some time at a spa, relaxing in luxury, the hot-springs of Montecatini Terme will more than meet your expectations. It is one of the best spa towns in the world and can be done in one day or it can host you for a retreat.

Italy is one of the most picturesque countries to visit in Europe, even if you tend to associate it more with history and canal cities. Visit any one of these three regions and you’ll have memories (and photos!) to last you a lifetime.

It is said that a good company makes the way seem shorter. Well, it happens more when you are traveling with your lover. You minds immerse in romantic thoughts, and you have no clue when has time passed away. Traveling with your lover is enjoyment, exciting, and adventurous as well.

You will feel different of reeling in the trip than you felt while traveling with your family or friends. So before start planning a romantic getaway, there are certain places which you must avoid visiting with your lover. Such places are dangerous for traveling and being completely alone with your partner it is risky as well.

6 Places to Avoid Travelling with Your Lover

1. Georgia

Situated at the intersection of Asia and Europe, you must certainly avoid traveling to Georgia. Off late there has been rising atrocities in terms of corruption and brutality especially in the states of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. There have been several instances of cross-firing and other incidents which have made Georgia an unsafe place for traveling.

2. Mexico

If you don’t want to fall prey to swine flu, then it is best to avoid traveling in Mexico. Although the place is known for its beauty and delicious dishes, medical practitioners warn people not to visit here. Besides, there is drug cartel brutality taking place and therefore travel warnings and cautions have been raised.

3. Algeria

Traveling to Algeria for a romantic vacation is a strict NO as the place is completely unsafe. There have been instances of terrorist activities, kidnapping, assassination, bombings, false roadblocks, and ambushes. So you will never wish for such a disastrous holiday. Therefore it is best to be avoided.

4. Egypt

The beautiful land of ancient pyramids and civilization, Egypt is also in the unsafe zone for traveling. There have been numerous political turmoils and sightseeing especially in Giza is a distant future.

5.  Honduras

The beautiful country Honduras has reported on numerous murderous activities over the past few years. San Pedro Sula, one of its cities has reported a murder rate of 169 people every year. Therefore traveling to this Latin American country is surely dangerous, although it has beautiful archaeological ruins and landscape that attract tourists.

6. Mali

Situated in West Africa, Mali also falls in the list of the places which are best to be avoided for travelling. This is mainly because of the frequent terrorist attacks that have been taking place, and the government is not capable enough to control these attacks. As such, the seeds of terrorism have been flourishing over the years.

Travelling is relaxation. We travel not to escape life but relive our life with less stress and tension.  So, while travelling with the love of your life trying to choose places which have a serene environment, fulfilled people, and lots of activities to do. Because these memories are the ones, you will cherish lifelong.
