HONEYMOON MONEY SAVING

·         Don’t buy onboard drinks and snacks: Whether you are travelling by air, sea or land, prices are increased and pack sizes are normally decreased. For that 250ml can of pop of the aeroplane you could have bought two 330ml cans from the supermarket! Take snacks, sweets and drinks with you from home to help cut the costs.

·         Think about your board basis: When it comes to your board basis, you have five main options; all-inclusive, full board, half-board, bed and breakfast or self-catering. Generally the first and the last ones tend to provide best value for money but don’t assume this. Talk with your partner about what you plan to get from your honeymoon and determine your board basis from this – you could end up with smaller food and drink bills than you thought.

·         Tap into existing underutilised benefits: Your credit card, home/car insurance, bank and even your employer may offer benefits that you weren’t even aware of. Common things are basic travel insurance, hotel discounts, and third party driving cover. Read your existing documentation or speak to someone to find out if you qualify.

·         Buy an Air Pass/Travel Card: If you are planning to hop from one place to the next when you are away, consider buying a travel card/air pass. This will allow you to get around with all transport costs covered. You may find that you are able to save hundreds of pounds if you get hold of the right one.
