Sponsored post
In desperate need of a family getaway but not sure if you can afford it? Believe it or not, traveling with your family needn’t cost you an arm and a leg if you know where to look! Follow these budget-friendly tips when you book your families next holiday or short trip – we think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by how much more you can get for your hard-earned dollar when you put your mind to it!
1. Set a Budget
It’s easy to get carried away when planning where you want to go and what you want to do. Setting a realistic budget that includes everything from travel, accommodation, spending money etc from the outset will prevent you from overspending in the long run.
2. Timing is Everything!
Consider travelling in the off-season – not only will you beat the crowds, but everything from flights to accommodation is cheaper during the school term.
3. Flight Price Fluctuations
If your travel plans involve travelling overseas or interstate we recommend doing your research and booking your flights online (rather than with a travel agent). Midweek flights are often cheaper than those on the weekend. Likewise early morning and late night flights are generally cheaper than those during the day.
Many flight carriers have sales on – so it pays to sign up for email alerts from flight companies – that way, you’ll be able to stay abreast of all the best deals as soon as they land in your inbox!
4. Holiday Package Deals Can Offer Great Value for Money

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
