1. Compare the options - Compare scheduled flights, low-cost flights, last-minute flights, promotions and nearby airports.
2. Be flexible - Being flexible with your departure day and time of day can save you a lot of money.
3. Avoid bank holidays and public holidays - On public holidays and holidays, prices go up.
4. Travelling in low season - If you don't mind it being a bit quieter and a few drops of rain, you can get both cheaper travel and cheaper hotel rooms.
5. Package the trip yourself - It's important to compare, but you can often get a cheaper trip if you package your hotel and flights yourself.
6. Discounts and benefits - Are you a student or a pensioner? Or do you have other discount cards? Check what you can use on the spot!
7. Pay by card - Many banks and card companies charge a fee for withdrawing money abroad. Pay by card and avoid the fee!
8. Shop local and cook for yourself - Choosing self-catering accommodation and cooking some meals yourself is a hot savings tip.
9. Get off the tourist track - Restaurant prices are often much lower if you go off the beaten track. Go for places that are popular with the locals!
10. Try couchsurfing - Stay at the home of someone who offers their sofa for free.
