HONEYMOON MONEY SAVING

·         Forgo meals on the plane/train/ferry: Rather than eating the meals offered to you at a premium, plan in advance and either eat before you leave or pack some sandwiches to eat en-route. It may only save twenty pound or so, but every little helps when the money’s tight.

·         Consider Alternative Modes of Transport: If you’re off to Paris it may be quicker and convenient to fly direct, but hopping on a Ferry could save you a packet, so if you need a little extra cash this can be a great way of finding some. Likewise, budget airlines are cheap and cheerful and whilst they may not be as luxurious as some of the big players, they are often a darn sight cheaper!

·         Don’t use hotel phones: Phoning anywhere from your hotel is notoriously expensive so instead your mobile (if your tariff is cheap) or consider purchasing a pre-paid phone card.

·         Don’t fly direct: Stopping off at an airport en-route to your final destination could add a few hours to your journey time, but at the same time it may also save you a pretty penny, so think outside the box when looking at the travel aspect.

·         Eat your main meals during the day: Many restaurants will offer lunchtime specials. You could find that you are ablew to dine at the best place in town for a fraction of what it would normally cost if you only ate a few hours earlier.

·         Don’t buy books at the airport: Airport bookshops are convenient, but won’t always have what you want and will normally charge full price. Buy your reading materials before you go and not only will you not have to compromise, but you could save a few quid in the process.
