TOMMY MIDDAUGH, TRAVEL TO GO VICE PRESIDENT’S BEST TIPS

FOR PLANNING A SUMMER VACATION BUDGET

SUMMER IS HERE!

These easy tips from Tommy Middaugh of Travel To Go will assist any traveler on planning their perfect trip without breaking the bank.

START EARLY: Planning in advance is key to crucial savings,

especially when it comes to airfare. Tommy Middaugh shares that there are many different discount websites that travelers simply overlook because they don’t know where to start. Travelers who dedicate many hours to planning will invest a lot of their time, but definitely will find themselves investing a lot less of their money.

CONSIDER THE ALTERNATIVES: Sometimes there are ways to save that are

slightly inconvenient but will lead to a lot of savings. Tommy Middaugh of Travel To Go shares that sometimes, taking a flight with a connection rather than a direct one can save hundreds on airfare for a family. Other things like flying in and out of the same airport as well can save a lot of time and money, so look into these things when securing tickets.

PACKING TIPS: Two words: light and right. Many airlines have

started requiring payment for every last thing, so bringing a bunch of suitcases is only going to waste money that could have spent elsewhere. Same goes for not packing right—make a list in order to avoid spending money on forgotten stuff. But don’t bring too much either, because there are fees for overweight luggage as well.
