Top 5 Places to Travel in 2019

With the new year, comes new and exciting places to visit. Wether it was due to lack of time or you simply weren’t sure about some destinations; 2019 is the year to travel. 

Here are the top 5 places to visit in 2019:

1.     Mexico City, Mexico 

WHY: Experience colourful flavours and culture 

Lets face it, everyone loves Mexican food; and who wouldn’t want to have a traditional homemade taco? Although in the past it may have had a criminal reputation, it is definitely an up and coming city, filled with cultural history, homemade food as well as lively parties. What else could you possibly ask for!

2. Dordogne, France

WHY: A fairytale dream 

This pastoral Southwestern region lies within the richness of the cherished french culture we all admire. 2019 is an especially appropriate time to visit as it makes 100 years since the inauguration of the Félibrée; an annual celebration of all things Occitan. This includes food, music as well as activities such as renting kayaks on the Dordogne River.

3. Montenegro  

WHY: Breathtaking scenery and heritage

This Southern European country should be on everyone’s travel list for 2019. For years, this beautiful country filled with undiscovered beaches used to be considered a mere stopover that travellers combined with its popular neighbouring country Croatia. However, this underrated paradise has recently experienced development boom with its pink sand beaches, shopping spots as well as spas.  

4. Reykjavik, Iceland 

WHY:  A place to reach your inner Zen 

From natural springs and waterfalls to whale-watching, Iceland is surreal experience waiting to inspire you. One of the main reasons to visit is the night-time spectacle of the Northern Lights, which are more common in Iceland than any other Northern country. The perfect destination for a full body detox.

5.  The Azores, Portugal 

WHY: Natural adventure zone

Although Portugal has been a major touristic attraction, new to the scene are beautiful islands of The Azores. Filled with thermal springs, vineyards, volcanic lakes, these spots are all accompanied by outdoor activities such as surfing, diving and kayaking. These amazing islands have something for everyone.

Wishing you a year of spectacular travels.

How it works is they basically look throughout the Internet to find the cheapest flights. It can be to any destination in the World.

HOW TO GET CHEAP FLIGHTS

Just wanted to give you guys some tips (below) on how to get cheap flights, especially for those of you who have made a commitment to seeing more of the World this year. Enjoy! :-)

Be Flexible

If you want cheap flights you have to be flexible on times, dates and even the destination. Skyscanner offers an option where the search engine will give you a list of affordable destinations within your budget.

Book Midweek

People tend to travel less during midweek. To ensure you get the best prices possible book your ticket between Mondays and Thurs.  In addition, it has been said that Tuesday and Wednesdays are the best days to find cheap flight deals.  Sometimes changing the day of your flight could save you a lot of money. Give all these days a try and see which prices suit you best.

 

Book the times that very few travel

Try to book tickets for the first flight of the day or the very last flight of the day going to your preferred destination. These times are usually the cheapest because airlines will be very keen to fill their seats. Also, try not to book your flights at peak seasons.

Use the Google Incognito Window

When searching for flight deals, use the incognito window on Google to avoid your cookies getting tracked. These cookies will enable a flight company to see your flight searches and they will increase the price. So to avoid this and ensure you get the best possible prices on your flight searches, hide your cookies by searching for flights using the incognito window.

 Book tickets that have a stopover

Usually direct flights can be quite expensive. So try to look out for flights that require you to stopover before you reach your final destination.

 

Compare prices

Don’t go for the first offer you see. Check out flight comparison sites and cheap travel sites to get the best deal. Here is a list of amazing flight websites to help you get started.

Skyscanner

Google Flights

Momondo

Kayak

HolidayPirates

CheapTicket

Jacks Flight Club

Also, if you find a good deal on a comparison website remember to go directly to the airline website as they may have even cheaper deals that will not be shown on the travel comparison site.

Sign-Up to Airlines

Sometimes flight offers will not be available to the general public and will only be available to subscribers. In order to stay aware of the deals, follow airlines on social media and sign up to the airline newsletter. 

As an example, you can sign up for airfarewatchdog.com

There are also discount codes for some airlines. They are out there on the Internet. You just have to search for them.

Sign-Up for Reward Programs

If you have a credit card, you can sign up for frequent flier miles rewards programs. The points will add up very quickly and you will be able to save money in the long term.

Book in advance

Book your flights up to 3 months in advance. Just a couple of days and weeks can make a huge difference in the final price.

Excess Fees

When booking your flights, watch out for excess fees or any further hidden charges.
