In these days of recession and talk about increased taxes, recession to depression to inflation and other unpleasantries, is it any wonder that we need vacations!  The problem is that we can’t afford them any more.  It’s getting tough out here!  So with that in mind, I have found a few interesting ideas for saving big on a great vacation.

I found a Budget Travel Guide which promises big savings on your next vacation. The FREE report will tell you:

• 15 powerful Budget Travel tips that can easily save you anywhere from 50% to over 80% off your flights!
• A little known website that sends you email updates on hot travel deals as they happen: For example, “fly anywhere in the US on Jet Blue for $39 each way when you book within two days!”
• How to save BIG money on flights using “no-frills airlines”: If you just want to get “there” for as cheap as possible, and you don’t need all the fancy options, simply fly on one of these no-frills airlines and save hundreds of dollars on each flight
• How to work with travel agents to save money and time: Sometimes going trough a travel agent (middle man) instead of going direct through an airline will actually save you money.
• How to become a travel agent yourself and save BIG: Like we mentioned earlier, being a travel agent comes with outrageous perks like 50% to 100% off airfare, hotels, car rentals, theme park admissions tickets, travel insurance, boat cruises and more.
• Find out all about the airlines biggest kept secret, Airline Ticket Consolidation: These consolidation deals can get pretty ridiculous (in a good way), but they’re not freely available on the Internet…don’t worry, we’ll tell you exactly where to find them and even give you the contact info you need (phone numbers, websites, emails).
• How to save 80% on your flights or even fly for free as a courier: It’s really easy to get started and we’ll teach you everything you need to know.
• How to exploit loopholes in online ticket pricing systems to knock off huge chunks of money off your next flight (its not unheard of to use this method and knock off as much as $1000 off your Airline ticket!)
• Everything you need to know about frequent flier programs: This is a great way to get free airfare, if you do it right. You can literally get a free flight or vacation every few months.
• How to get “bumped” and get reimbursed for it with free flights, first class upgrades, and hundreds of dollars in cash.
• Save on cruises: Unlike airlines, cruise companies consistently have a more difficult time filling their cruises to capacity. So you can find some truly amazing deals, if you know where to look.
• How to stay in luxury hotels at hostel prices: Just like airlines want to fill up all of their seats, hotels want to fill up all of their rooms. It’s a better deal for them to have someone in the room for a discount price than to have the room empty for the night. If you know what you’re doing, you can literally stay in a 5 star hotel for the same price as a cheap motel or hostel
• How to stay at other peoples luxury homes for FREE: Imagine staying in someone else’s fully furnished beach-side villa for several months, free of charge!

I have to say that the idea of staying at a luxury hotel at hostel prices is intriguing!  We all owe it to ourselves to get away in the best style as possible – and to save money in the bargain won’t hurt when we get back!
