The Advantage of Using Discount Bookings
Wednesday, June 8th, 2011I have yet to experience what it would be like to stay at any of the Barcelona hotels. I dream of visiting Spain one day and one of the many things to consider is to find the best hotels to stay at and write about.. That would surely be a great post material for the travel blog I am currently working on. In my recent trips, I have used a discount hotel booking site, and it sure did saved me a great deal of money, considering that I stay at that specific place for more than three days. I know that there lots of cheap hotels in and around that city, but I still find my online hotel booking at that discount hotel booking site, much desirable. Imagine this, my room, if not discounted would cost P 1200 a night. Should they give out discounts, it will just be P 900 for the said room. But having booked online, I only paid like P 300 plus a night. What’s more, I get to write a review and earn points. And the points I earn shall be converted to dollars that I can use when booking another hotel in another place, the next time I travel. I did not only save, I also got this opportunity to be able to stay at another hotel, with much discount when booking my hotel the next time I travel.. Isn’t that amazing?
Of course, if you are a budget traveler, it is not just hotel bookings that you have to learn. I am sure many of you are familiar with airline booking as well. Every now and then, two airlines in the Philippines get loads of discounts on fare. What better way to schedule a trip when these discounted fares take place. Buy them, and prepare for the trip as it gets near the date.. Because both fare and hotel were booked with discount, many more people are traveling more than before..
Railway Traveling..
Tuesday, September 21st, 2010Today, I heard about Ashford International, the new railway station located in the heart of Kent off the M20 motorway, in the United Kingdom. Well, technically, my cousin mentioned about it, I got curios so researched a little bit about Ashford railway station, and found out that it is the ideal access point from the UK to Europe with over 2,000 car parking spaces. It is also good for the environment as rail offers lower carbon dioxide emissions than on flights from an airport. So if you are looking for Trains to Paris, or those from London St Pancras to Belgium, Ashford is what you should be looking for…
