Do you often travel alone but due to finances can no longer
afford to? The best way to bag great value cheap holidays is to travel with
someone or in a group. This way you can split holiday costs and save yourself
substantial amounts of money. You can even save money by sharing suitcases and
travel necessities such as sun cream, adapters, insect repellents etc. Just
make sure you have enough for how many there is of you.
Saying this, by not choosing the right companion(s) for
great value cheap holidays, it will soon turn into a nightmare, as you realise
that you don’t want the same thing out of your holiday. So with this in mind,
read on, as we give you the top tips to ensure this doesn’t happen.
Smoking issues
If you are not a smoker and not used to it, if the people
you travel with are, this can soon cause issues. Think about it, you will be sharing
cars, accommodation, tables and space in general; do you mind being surrounded by
the smell of cigarettes? Even if your companion(s) are considerate, there will
inevitably be some issues that arise, putting a strain on the holiday as a
whole.
Accommodation
When you are choosing the people to travel with, ask
yourself this, have you ever shared a room with them before? Also, are you
aware of all of their bad habits and could you cope with them? Great atmospheres
can soon turn sour, by little, frustrating arguments about the cleanliness of
the space or volume levels of music (for example).
Spending habits
Whilst you both may be on the hunt for cheap holidays in the
sun, you may have different budgets and spending habits whilst actually out
there. Some of us tend to be more extravagant then others and don’t mind paying
a little more money for an amazing meal. However, others may not be so inclined
to splash out for meals. To combat this issue why not go all inclusive? This
way you both pay up front for all meals and drinks during your holiday,
avoiding any awkwardness when it comes to meal times.
What does a good time
mean to you?
Having a good time during great value cheap holidays, can
mean one thing to one person, but then something completely different to the
other. Before paying for your holiday, sit down with your travel companion(s)
and see if you are both on the same page. Do you both just want a holiday for
complete relaxation, where you plan to spend lazy days sunbathing on the beach
or beside the pool? Or perhaps you are more of the adventurer, who can’t wait
to explore the destination, visiting tourist attractions and getting to know
the culture. If you differ, how will you compromise? Explorers will soon become
bored lazing around and beach lovers will soon become frustrated being on the
move constantly.
Early risers or night
owls?
Before booking cheap holidays, the last
conversation you will need to have is; are you both early risers or night owls?
You may think this is irrelevant but there is nothing more frustrating than
hanging around waiting for someone, or, on the other hand; having to come home
early because someone is tired and wants sleep.
Some of us want to get up early, to be able to fit as much
as possible into the day or to find a sunbed in the ideal location. However,
others love nothing better than long lay-ins in the morning, due to getting to
bed late the night before.
So, if you have read all of our points and confident you
have picked the right travel companion(s), for a great value holiday a discount centre
online is your best bet to find great deals!
