If you follow the blog from the beginning, you could follow our different travel and Road Trip. Traveling is one of my passions, but I really love taking care of their organization and find tricks. I will try to share with you all. It is valid for travel to the United States but also to other destinations.

when to go ?

I'm telling you anything, if you can avoid school holidays, Paris or those of other countries, you will gain comfort on-site as well as the price of your stay.

Depending on the destination, some months are more or less recommended. Especially because of the weather. So I always check the site when to go ?, for advice on the dates we expect.

Book a Flight

There are several tips to buy her plane tickets at the best price. Tout d’abord, do not use the same computer IP than that with which you have done all your research. The day you book your ticket also has its importance, here is an article or this is very well explained. https://www.20minutes.fr/economie/2398435-20181218-billets-avion-jour-faut-reserver-payer-moins-cher.

To learn about the different ticket prices, I use the site Skyscanner, they also have an application on iPhone. It is also important to pay attention to other sites. We regularly come to take Air France for the long haul, like New York and we took advantage of private sales that took place at Christmas. The advantage is that you can take the Flying Blue card, to accumulate points to re-use in your travels.

Best Bookings

For your flight, hotel, car… (also works for shopping, gifts and other) I ALWAYS use the site IGRAAL. If you use Firefox as your browser, you can download the add-on.

It is a site Cashback. This means that when you go through their site to make reservations, So with their partners, you will receive a return, a percentage. This amount will be unlockable only after booking but worth. for example, I reserve many hotels and cars by Expedia, which is a partner Igraal, on each of our reservations, I get the equivalent of 7% what we paid. On a long trip like last year in the US, cashback enabled us to pay off the rental car. I use a lot Expedia because they work with a points system.

IMPORTANT

It must be very careful with the conditions, including cancellation of your trip. The cheapest airline tickets are often non-refundable. Another reason why I use Expedia, almost all their hotels can be canceled until 48 hours before the booking and some are even paid locally regardless of whether you have booked 6 months in advance or not. If you wish it, you can take out travel insurance, here is a comparator : https://www.lelynx.fr/assurance-voyage/.

My Little Tips / Advice

That's it's all booked, Congratulations ! Here are some tips and trick I use for our Road Trip.

The car – to be reachable

Be very careful if you go to the US and that you rent a car. In the basic contract, you will not have GPS in your means of locomotion. So you can add one to the contract, buy a gps on Aliexpress as we did for our first trip. But the solution that we now adopt every departure, is take a US smart phone with unlimited mobile data. I reserve the site https://sim-usa.mobi/, this allows us to serve us our GPS phone also can call, have internet access and our social networks for the duration of our stay.

Excursions – visits

Many places are in demand by tourists, and you will have to reserve minimum 15 jours avant. For this I use Viator, there are many attractions known but much more original visits, and it also works with Igraal.

For a little more original places, You can also follow instagrammeurs trips that often full of good addresses.
