Break it down – before you browse

Before you even open up your computer, give your trip some thought. It’s always a good idea to walk that line between being flexible and firm, in order to find your ideal flights. Jot down some notes on a pad of paper – dividing up the page into two columns – “firm” and “flexible” – and under each respective heading, jot down the aspects of your trip that you absolutely can’t compromise on (maybe all-inclusive is a deal breaker for you, or travelling during the month of May?) and in the other, make a list of everything you’re open to (stop-over flights, AirBnB versus a hotel, etc.) This way, when you find the flights that interest you, you’ll have something to reference to make sure it’s truly the best pick for you!
