call
For the best accommodation rates, call the hotel directly. The manager will usually offer you a better price than you will find online. The hotel is full? Ask when cancellations take effect and call the correct time to get tickets last minute.
Ask what you want
The hotel rooms are not all alike, some are larger and offer a nicer view. When you arrive at the hotel, ask if it is possible to get a better room. You have a few more dollars to spend? The hotel may have a better room to offer at an affordable rate.

The best days
For a trip to North America on Wednesday is usually the cheapest day to fly, because most travel vacationers end weekends. Otherwise Tuesdays and Saturdays are also days that offer better prices.
Digital Thinking
Take pictures to remember important things such as where you parked your car the look of your bag and the number of your hotel room.
Travel during the low season
Almost all cities have their own mini low season when prices are lower and you'll get last minute deals. Visit New York after Fashion Week, after the Venice Film Festival or New Orleans after Mardi Gras.
The last day of an important event, hotels lose much of their clientele and restaurants have fewer reservations.
Collect your points
You have accumulated reward points? Call after midnight to speak to an agent of customer service. This way, you will get expert advice and you will have more choice because airlines usually offer new stocks to 12 h 01.
Use your social network
Ask your Facebook friends and those who follow you on Twitter if they have any recommendations for the destination you want to visit. Know some friends who like to attract attention is finally useful! And do not forget to "love" the Facebook pages of tourist offices and the main attractions of the destinations you visit to be informed of bargains.
Transact intelligently with banks
Financial institutions have branches abroad, which means that you can use their ATMs to withdraw local currency without paying the costs of international transactions. For example, HSBC has its own branches worldwide.
Take a travel insurance
Check if you are covered by your credit card company or group insurance from your employer. Avoid insurers who ask you go ahead hospitalization costs. Even if you only make a few trips a year, it is best to take a multi-trip insurance policy at an annual rate.
Protect yourself
Do you know your passport number by heart? This is not necessary if you have left a copy of your number to a trusted friend or a family member in case of theft or loss. Better yet, scan the details of your passport and send you the email. You can get your message to your arrival.
Indulge
If you must stay at the airport for a certain period of time, it may be a good idea to get a pass for a day to enjoy the show of the airline. Or if you need WiFi, closer to the living room and enjoy the free service.
