Travel - Destination

Are there any places where we can travel without PCR tests and which are they?

Today, traveling to different countries is a significant challenge. In the pandemic situation in which we have been in for the last year, there are various restrictions that each country has. The main requirements are PCR tests, vaccine certificates, quarantine, wearing masks, and others.

And despite all the obstacles, most people continue to travel around the world, despite the numerous requirements a country may have. But for anyone who loves to travel, there is an important question – Are there countries where a PCR test or vaccine is not required?

Fortunately, the answer to this question is a resounding yes. It remains to be seen who these countries are and what they can offer us.

Destinations and airlines that do not require a PCR test or a vaccine against Covid

To the delight of each of you, several countries have removed all restrictions, and you are free to travel to them without having to take tests or get vaccinated. Let’s take a look at these countries and the airlines you can travel with.

Destinations

Costa Rica

If you have not yet visited this exotic destination, now is a perfect time. On October 26, the country removed the PCR test requirement, and from November 1, there will be no lists of approved countries from which you can come.

Costa Rica is ready to welcome you and make you forget, at least for a while, about everything that is happening around the world. All you need to do is submit insurance and fill out an online health form before entering the country. All requirements end here.

And if we have to talk about the country itself, Costa Rica is fantastic with amazing wildlife, river valleys, beaches, and much more.

It gives you both adventure and the opportunity to visit luxury hotels, nice bars, and restaurants that offer delicious food. In short, this is a country that can offer something to each of you.

And what you can see in Costa Rica is:

27 national parks – nature is not just a jungle. Here you will find the beautiful Rio Celeste waterfall, as well as many coral rifts, dry and tropical forests, and cloudy forests. And activities like canyoning and river rafting are just a few of the favorite attractions of tourists.

a paradise for coffee lovers and many, many other things.

Mexico

Mexico is a country that does not close its borders to international tourists during the pandemic, nor did it require PCR tests, quarantine, or proof of vaccination against Covid-19. In addition, almost everything in the country is open, and to this day, it is still one of the places you can freely visit.

Remember that you will not need to present a negative PCR test to enter Mexico, but going back to the USA will most likely require you to do so.

Mexico is an exciting country worth visiting at least once in your life, and we would say that it is even a must.

Here are some of the fantastic places:

Cancún and the Mayan Riviera – this is one of the most visited areas by millions of tourists. The Mayan Riviera includes resort destinations such as Playa del Carmen, the island of Cozumel, and beyond.

The whole area around Cancún and the Mayan Riviera is famous for its beautiful wide beaches and crystal clear water.

In addition, here you can snorkel among reefs and tropical fish, scuba diving in the world’s largest underwater museum, which includes impressive sculptures submerged at depths of up to eight meters, and swimming with the dolphins and stingrays;

Copper Canyon is one of the most visited attractions, located in one of the northernmost states of Mexico, namely Chihuahua. The Copper Canyon is a breathtaking group of deep canyons that attract tourists with its grandeur;
Mexico City’s Historical Center – we advise you to focus your attention on the city’s tourist center. There you will find fabulous museums, galleries, and attractions. In this part are also the famous National Palace, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Templo Mayor with its Aztec relics;
Chichén Itzá – The Mayan Metropolis
Guanajuato
The Ancient Fortress of Tulum
Cozumel – Island Life
Puerto Vallarta and many more

Colombia

Whether you are vaccinated or not, Colombia will not require you to have a PCR test or be quarantined so that you can enter the country freely.

The only requirement is to fill in a health declaration known as “Check-Mig” shortly before the flight (less than 24 hours). In it, you should describe that you do not have symptoms of Covid-19 and have not been in contact with a person who has given a positive result.

All you have to do ends here, and it’s up to you to enjoy amazing Colombia.

Places you can visit in this country are:

Cartagena – a historical city that will take you back in time. Cartagena is one of the best-preserved colonial destinations. In this city, you will find beautiful restored restaurants and hotels. Along with this, you can make day trips to beaches and islands that are located near the city.
Medellin – although in the 90s it was considered the most dangerous city, today everything is different. Medellin grabs the hearts of visitors with the old quarter of Botero Plaza, Museum of Antioquia, the striking Rafael Uribe Uribe Palace of Culture, and many other sights worth seeing.
Eje Cafetero – this place can be pretty interesting for coffee lovers, as Eje Cafetero is the world’s third-largest producer of coffee beans. Overall, Colombia is the perfect place to try different types of coffee and enjoy their unique taste.

And in this regard, the best place to stay in the area is the town of Salento. From this city, you can easily reach Cocora Valley and visit farmers to explain the process of growing coffee and taste its different varieties.

Other interesting places you can visit in Colombia are Leticia, Tayrona National Natural Park, Bogotá, The Lost City, etc.

Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic is the other country with no PCR test or quarantine requirements for international tourists. There is a concise list for some countries that will require a negative PCR test, but the USA is not among them.

In addition, on arrival in the country, about 5% of passengers can have a quick breath test, but that will be all. And what are the exciting places you can visit?

Let’s look at some of them below:

La Romana – is a tourist destination not far from Punta Cana. This place is famous for its beautiful beaches and Altos de Chavón, where you can buy fantastic souvenirs. Nearby is the fishing town of Bayahibe, which is a departure point for trips to Isla Saona;
Punta Cana – if you are looking for a luxury holiday in the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana is your place. The beautiful beaches with white-sand beach and the emerald waters of the Caribbean is what will surely grab your heart.

Bavaro Beach is the most impressive in Punta Cana. Inside the beaches there are various shops and restaurants that you can enjoy;

Santo Domingo’s Zona Colonial – the city in which Christopher Columbus first landed. It features colonial architecture, which includes museums, restaurants, hotels, and shops. You will indeed feel unique in this city, taking you back in time;
Las Terrenas;
Bahia de Las Aguilas;
Isla Saona and Parque Nacional de Este, etc.

Do airlines require a negative PCR test?

All airlines strive to provide the safest possible environment for passengers, especially for international flights. Most airlines require a negative PCR test before boarding.

There is one exception, and it is for people who have been given a positive test in the last 3 months. Some airlines have additional procedures, offering free tests and home tests. It all depends on the chosen company.

And because the requirements and conditions of travel are constantly changing, and each airline has its own rules, we advise you to keep up to date with the airline you have chosen.

Keep in mind that things change dynamically. It means that there may be no requirement for a negative PCR test when purchasing tickets, but you may need to do so immediately before the flight.

What are the reasons for this?

The reasons for the lack of restrictions in these countries can be many, and the requirements can be different for each of them. Tourism is one of the most common reasons for reducing or eliminating conditions such as PCR testing or quarantine.

The pandemic is a great challenge not only for people who love to travel but also for countries that are tourist destinations. Reducing the flow of visitors has a significant impact on the economy of each of the nations, which is why they try in every way to attract more and more visitors.

Of course, it all depends on the number of people with Covid-19 and the health situation in the country. Each country removes its restrictions when there is a decline in morbidity and vice versa. It is the main reason why the situation around the world is so dynamic.

Is this expected to change over time?

Unfortunately, it is difficult to say whether there will continue to be no requirements for testing or vaccination in these countries.

For example, until recently, the list of countries that did not require a PCR test or quarantine included the Maldives, Haiti, Egypt, and many others. But today, they are among the countries that require a negative PCR test done within 72 or 96 hours, depending on which country you travel to.

That is why the best thing we could advise you is to follow the official websites of each country for changes in the travel conditions of international tourists. Of course, many other countries allow American tourists to enter their territory, but with PCR tests.

These countries include:

Albania
Armenia
The Bahamas
Barbados
Brazil
Bermuda
Canada
Chile
Croatia
Cyprus
Denmark
Dominica
Ecuador
Finland
France
French Polynesia
Italy
Jamaica
Malta and many, many others

Travel Advisor – what is their role and how they can help you?

Well-planned travel allows you to make the most out of your vacation and have long-lasting happy memories.

Travel planning can be a really exciting process but it can be equally overwhelming as well. When you start searching for cheap deals for a certain destination, many options appear and you start wondering which one to pick up.

If you are currently searching for vacation options, some of you have probably asked yourselves which is better – online booking or using the services of a travel advisor. In this article we will offer you answers to this question.

There are several benefits of working with a travel advisor. Having a travel advisor by your side when planning your travel can make a huge difference in terms of total cost of travel expenses and overall experience.

Searching through the internet for best travel offers can be often overwhelming as you are likely to find a lot of information.

A travel advisor knows how to connect all of the available information related to your travel and provide you with a well-planned itinerary.

It’s worth establishing a relationship with a reliable and trusted travel advisor, if you want to have a pleasant and memorable air travel experience every time you fly.

Booking your travel through a travel advisor is a wise, convenient and easy way to have an upgraded travel experience.

No matter if you are planning a business trip or a family vacation, a professional travel advisor will help you get the exact type of travel you want.

What is a travel advisor?

A travel advisor (travel agent) is an individual who provides their clients with services related to travel or tourism and who makes all the arrangements travel plans involve.

Travel advisors play an important role in the development and growth of the tourism and travel industry.

Travel advisors suggest to their clients vacation and accommodation offers on the basis of their research and professional experience. Their main role is to make the process of travel planning simple for each client.

They handle the entire travel planning (booking flights, making hotel reservations, arranging car rentals, transportation, cruises, resort stays, events) while working within a set monetary budget, if required.

In their role as professional travel consultants travel advisors have expertise and own the needed resources and connections to help you with your travel plans. They operate on the behalf of their travel suppliers.

Travel advisors make sure that every detail of your travel arrangements is well-planned, so that your vacation goes smoothly and without any issues. They strive to make their clients happy and satisfied with their travel plans.

The job of travel advisors includes several different tasks:

suggestions of suitable travel packages or services to clients that meet their needs, specifications and wishes.
organization of travel from beginning to end that includes accommodation, tickets booking and the arrangement of rental transportation.
offering clients relevant up-to-date information and convenient travel materials (maps, guides, event programs and other materials).

Travel advisors are responsible for the promotion and booking travel arrangements for either individuals or businesses, the research of different destinations and means of travel. They should include information about prices, weather conditions, recent news, customs, reviews, travel advisories as well as required documents to visit a certain destination.

Travel advisors work together with clients to choose and plan the right type of travel. They prepare promotional materials and use special methods with the purpose to sell itinerary tour packages.

One of the main things a travel adviser should do is to achieve customer satisfaction as well as reach set targets in terms of revenue and profits.

They also take part in conferences to be informed about the latest tourism trends, create and update electronic updates of clients, be in contact with key partners.

Another thing that goes in the list of responsibilities travel advisors have is to fix unforeseen issues and handle complaints. They also decide whether a client is eligible for a money refund, store financial statements and documents, collect deposits and balances.

Some travel advisors don’t require a fee. Tour operators, hoteliers and car rental companies pay them instead of individual clients.

Advantages of using a travel advisor

Expertise

One of the most important features that distinguish a good travel advisor is their expertise. In the same manner a financial consultant can help you manage your finances, a travel advisor will assist you in arranging your travel from beginning to end.

A good travel advisor is dedicated to offer their clients best quality travel assistance. Professional travel advisors have an expert knowledge of the different types of travel and they make travel arrangements following the current tourism trends.

A travel agent has experience as a traveler around the world and they also use a variety of reliable travel-related resources. During their travel they gain information and firsthand perspective about different destinations, excursions , resorts, events.

This enables them to answer all your questions in a quick and correct way and help you make an informed decision that suits you most. Their advice will also give you an idea of what to expect from a given destination.

Thanks to their rich knowledge and experience, a travel agent can give travel advice to all types of travelers – business travelers, families and couples looking for vacation offers, solo travelers, groups of travelers going on a tour.

Knowledge

Another reason why you should trust your travel plans into the hands of a travel advisor is that they have extensive knowledge about the sphere of travel.

Travel agents are constantly making research for travel recommendations and best travel offers. They are well-informed about different big and small destinations around the world and for this reason they can offer you professional advice for all types of travel.

When you are wondering which option is best for you, a travel agent is the best resource that will provide you with the information you need.

For instance, if you are traveling to a place that is totally new to you, the assistance of a travel advisor will be really helpful in this case. A travel advisor will offer you guidance about what are the best hotels to book, the best restaurants, cafes and nightclubs.

It often happens that travel advisors have already been to these places themselves. Besides, travel advisors can give you information about local customs and traditions of a destination and also advise you on the standard social or business etiquette of the country you are going to visit.

In this way you will be better prepared to meet with a new culture rather than to rely on a guidebook that hasn’t been updated yet.

Convenience

Proper search for travel options can be time-consuming. But getting help from a travel advisor will definitely help you save time in your travel planning.

Using the services of a professional travel assistant is a convenient way to enjoy the type of travel you want without spending much effort in researching available options.

As we have already mentioned, the job of a travel advisor is to make all the arrangements for flights, excursions, accommodations, ground transportation, airport transfer. Travel advisors take care of every aspect of your travel and optimize it according to the amount of time and budget you have.

At the end of their research they will provide you with the entire information they have gathered for your travel and the final details. Travel advisors simply provide you with the answers to all of your questions and present them in a comprehensive way.

They do all of the work instead of you and simplify the whole process which saves you valuable time. Travel advisors are real people that are always next to you and ready to handle any unforeseen problem in the travel plans along the way.

Less travel-related expenses

Most people who have never worked with a travel assistant are reserved to consult with such a professional at first. The most common assumption is that it will cost a lot of money.

But using the service of a travel agent will not cost you more money than if you choose to book online your travel on your own. In fact travel agents can help you save money in making travel arrangements.

The reason for this is because travel advisors have an exclusive access to special deals, lower pricing and they keep an eye on the latest vacation offers.

So, they are able to tell you when is the best time to book a flight for example and also tell you the exact value for your money you are going to receive depending on the destination and circumstances.

One of their main goals is to find such an offer that best suits your travel budget without exceeding it. You probably know that getting perks during traveling can really increase the quality of your travel experience. So, a travel advisor can provide you with the perks you need.

If you want to feel special and cared-for during your next travel, you should choose your personal travel advisor.

Thanks to their access to the best travel deals, travel advisors can offer you the best value for your money. They can also protect you from scams and prevent you from missing the fine print when looking for travel deals.

Travel advisors have connections with tour operators, hotels and resorts, which is really helpful when they want to offer their clients some travel perks. They also stay updated for special discounts clients haven’t learned about.

Valuable connections

Travel advisors have global connections in the world of travel, which means as a client of a travel advisor you can get advantage of this. More connections mean exclusive travel deals, great perks and excellent service quality.

With the help of a travel advisor you can establish valuable partnerships not only with them but also with other travel advisors. With the combination of valuable knowledge, experience and connections travel advisors are able to offer you quality assistance.

Stress-free travel

Getting assistance from a travel advisor definitely takes out of the stress that travel arrangements usually include. The job of a travel advisor is to ensure the vacation of each client goes in a smooth and enjoyable way.

In this way you will be able to focus more on enjoying your vacation rather than thinking about all of the small details. This definitely enhances your travel experience and helps you get the perfect vacation.

A travel advisor helps you look forward to your vacation rather than dreading the whole planning process. Even if something with your travel doesn’t go to plan, a good travel advisor should provide you with a solution to your problem as fast as possible.

Personalized attention

One of the greatest things about working with a travel advisor is that they care about their clients and take into account the clients’ personal vacation requests and specific needs when arranging their travel. They will offer you travel plans that are tailored to your specific requirements.

For example, if you have specific dietary needs, accommodation or room preferences, a travel agent will pay attention to them and adapt the travel arrangements to these needs.

Thanks to the special approach they apply for each client, travel advisors can save you from unknown situations and wrong decisions that can occur during the travel planning process. As a result you will have an enjoyable and memorable travel experience thanks to a well-crafted itinerary.

Travel advisors also want to get feedback from their clients after the end of their travel because they want to make sure they are pleased with the service.

Easy access

Another advantage of relying on a travel advisor is that they are easily accessible. You can contact them when you need assistance or have certain questions.

When you are traveling, a reliable travel advisor is available for you 24/7 to help you. So, you can always be sure they will assist you before, during and after the trip.

When to book a flight to Thailand?

Peak season and off-season

When it comes to flights to Thailand, it’s a fact that flights booked for the peak season can cost twice more than the tickets booked for the off-season, even if they are for one and the same destination.

Because of this it’s no wonder that frequent flyers would like to get discounts on their flight ticket price to Thailand.

For this reason it’s good to see what are the prices of flights to Thailand for each season and compare them to determine which deal suits you most.

If you are planning to visit Thailand at a certain time of the year, it’s recommended to check whether there will be some upcoming festivals on or around the destination you have planned to visit.

That’s because a festival period is likely to increase considerably the cost of a flight to a certain place in Thailand. But if you want to dive into Thailand’s culture and traditions, then go for it.

If your goal is to score a cheap flight deal for Thailand, you should book your flight somewhere between March and May because it’s an off-season for traveling to Thailand. The prices of flights for this period are cheap as there are less travels. But the weather during this time is very hot, so you need to consider this too when making travel plans.

The period between May and October is also categorized as an off-season. Fewest travelers come to the country during this time as it’s a rainy season for some regions. The weather at this time is pleasantly warm, but it’s not as hot and humid as it is from the beginning of March until May.

Prices by months:

May is considered the cheapest month to fly to Thailand as the drop in the price for flights is 3% while in August the average price increase of the flight tickets is 7%. Summer is the peak season for flying to Thailand. However, January, November and December are considered expensive months for flying to the country, while September is considered the cheapest.

It’s highly recommended to book your flight to Thailand at least 2 weeks before your departure, if you want to find a flight to Thailand at the lowest possible price.

Thailand’s climate varies depending on the region. The best time to fly to Thailand in general is from the beginning of November until the end of March.

For those of you who want to find a flight to Thailand at a cheap price it’s recommended to book their flight well in advance. Booking up to 5 months before your departure date will guarantee you a lower price of your flight ticket to Thailand.

Prices by days of the week:

Currently Tuesday is the cheapest day to fly to Thailand while the prices for flights on Saturday are the highest. The flight prices for Tuesday are below £400 and for Saturday they go above £500.

When booking a flight to Thailand, you should know that booking in the afternoon results in a cheaper flight price compared to booking in the evening. Usually, there is a high demand for flight tickets in the evening.

Which airlines offer flights to Thailand?

Singapore Airlines
Japan Airlines
ANA
EVA Air
KLM
Lufthansa
Qatar Airways
Etihad Airways
British Airways
China Eastern are the major air carriers that operate most of the flights to Thailand.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK)
Don Mueang International Airport (DMK)
Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX)

BKK and DMK are both located in the capital city of Bangkok, while CNX is in the northern part of the country.

How to get to Thailand’s major airports?

Bangkok Airport for example is located at a distance of 30 km from the city’s center. From level 1 at the airport you can get Airport Express service to the city or catch a taxi. Airport Express service is used by many people, so you can expect crowds.

Taxi transport in Thailand is not a good idea, if you are on a tight budget as they tend to increase the prices, insist on getting a receipt and bargain with their customers.

If your flight is arriving at Phuket Airport, the best transport option for you is a bus ride which is the cheapest form of travel. You can catch a bus to the city which passes every hour from 06:30 until 09:30.

Another option is a metered taxi which travels more quickly than the bus and it’s suitable for those of you who are in a rush. But traveling by taxi is more expensive and it’s a better option, if you are traveling with a partner and you can split the fare.

Another option for you is to find rent-a-car at the airport which will allow you to drive to different parts of Thailand.

What is the duration of flights to Thailand?

The most popular route is Los Angeles-Bangkok with an average flight duration of 19 hours and 40 min.

On average a non-stop flight to Thailand from the U.S. lasts 26 hours and 10 min. and it’s at a distance of 8664 miles.

The duration of a flight from London to Bangkok is 11 hours and 35 min. From Manchester to Phuket is 14 hours and 30 min., from Birmingham to Bangkok – 11 hours and 40min. and from Glasgow to Phuket is 16 20 min.

Advice on how to find cheap flight deals:

Be flexible

For example, a flight to Phuket in December costs £350, but during another time of the year the price of a flight to this destination can go up to £900 -£1000.

Compare the prices of flights to Thailand for each month and also the prices of the destination.

Book early

Flight prices tend to rise the less time is left until departure. If you want to guarantee yourself a cheap price for your flight to Thailand, you need to book your flight early, but not too far in advance. Best time for booking a flight is considered around three months or 6-8 weeks before departure. This is mostly the case for flights that are booked during a peak season.

So, the moment you find a good price for a flight that suits you, don’t wait too much until you book as flight prices are constantly changing.

Use air miles

By collecting points and miles as you fly you are likely to score a cheap flight deal. You can redeem your collected award miles for flight discounts for any destination.

When you plan to fly somewhere, you should sign up for your airline’s rewards program. You will be given a travel rewards card which will offer you flight discounts in the future as well as different perks.

Sign up for newsletters

If you want to find a cheap flight in an easy way, one of your best options is to sign up for newsletters of different airlines or websites for last-minute flight deals. This option doesn’t guarantee you that on the next day you will get a flight deal exactly for your favourite destination. But it still helps you don’t miss out on a good flight deal.

Another thing you should know is that cheap flight deals are available for a certain time period, which is usually 24 hours. So, this is another good reason why it’s useful to be signed up for a newsletter.

Airline newsletters not only notify you about current best flight deals but they also offer you frequent flyer bonuses. If you are a frequent flyer, you can get advantage of this option and use your collected points and miles for free flights and upgrades.

When to book a flight to Spain?

The earlier the date, the better. Booking your flight to Spain early is important, especially if you are going to fly during a peak season.

It’s also recommended to check if there will be any Spanish festivals that might occur during the time you are visiting the company. Also, don’t forget to check whether some festivals will be held on or around the place you are visiting. If you find out that there will be festivals, it’s good to book your ticket to Spain well in advance, in order to avoid high costs.

In fact, any season is more or less suitable for flying to Spain thanks to the country’s year round sunny weather. Spain has a mild climate all year round. The peak seasons for flights of the different regions of the country are similar when compared to each other. There are slight differences between each region.

For example, at the end of spring the peak season for Spain usually starts. The period between July and September is the busiest as there are many travelers who book flights to Spain at this time. It’s difficult to find cheap flights at this time of the year.

Generally, June and July are considered a high season to travel to Spain and November and January are considered the cheapest months to fly there.

There is a high demand for flights to Spain in December and the potential price rise during this period is 6%.

January and February are months considered to be the best months to fly for cheap to Spain. In January there is an average 5% drop in the prices of flights.

Spring and fall are great seasons to visit Spain as the temperatures are not too high and the country’s top tourist destinations such as Barcelona, Granada and Seville aren’t crowded any more.

The peak season for the island of Menorca starts in May and lasts until October. There is a festival season that happens in July and August and naturally there is a big flow of tourists coming to Menorca during this time.

But if you choose to visit it in April, you won’t miss anything as the place is beautiful in spring too. September is also a good month to visit this place, especially if you are not a fan of too many crowds or warm weather.

Spain’s off season lasts from October until March and flyers are likely to find cheap flights during this time. Late October and November are the least popular months for visiting Spain as there are rains during the fall season.

Tuesday is considered the cheapest day to fly to Spain while on Saturday the prices of the flights are most high. The time of the day also matters when booking a flight.

The prices of flights to Spain booked in the afternoon tend to be lower than these booked in the morning. The price of morning departure flights is around 15% higher than this of the departure flight in the afternoon. The prices for flights in the morning can go up to $800 while these for flights in the afternoon can go below $700.

Tips for flying for cheap :

Choose an early date for booking

Finding cheap flight deals can be easier, if you choose to book your flight on an early date. Being flexible with your flight dates and locations is one of the keys to getting a cheap flight price.

As we know the ticket prices of airline flights tend to change depending on different factors.

Try to plan ahead and book your flight at least 3 weeks before departure time. This will help you score a below-average price.

Book your flight during a low season

Being flexible with your flight dates and times is one of the best ways to score cheap flight deals. Having rigid plans concerning your flight dates won’t guarantee you a cheap flight deal.

If you want to fly to a certain place and save up on the ticket price, make sure to book your flight at a time when the airfares are cheaper and there are fewer travelers to this place.

Another tip is to avoid booking a flight date before upcoming holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve, the Fourth of July. The summer season is also a peak time for flying to most European destinations, so keep that in mind. So, your best option is to fly off-season.

Booking your flight during the weekend is also not a good idea, if you want a lowered ticket price. It’s better to choose the middle of the week to fly as there are fewer travelers during that time.

Also, booking early morning or late-night flights guarantees a lower flight price. Again the reason for this is that fewer people want to fly at that time.

Use points and miles

If you want to fly for cheap, then using points and miles will definitely help get a lower price for a flight to any destination. Make sure to sign up for a travel rewards credit card and join your airline’s list of loyal travelers, if you want to enjoy cheap air travel.

Besides flight ticket discounts, airline rewards credit cards also offer you different perks such as:

access to airline lounges
welcome bonuses
free hotel stays
free access to events.

Use online search engines

Online search engines are really helpful as they allow you to do a search with explore tools for the cheapest flight deal. This offers you the option to compare the prices of flights to multiple destinations in a quick and easy way.

Choose to book a connecting flight

Another way to get a cheap flight deal is to avoid flying always directly. Choosing a secondary airport located close to your destination as a landing point is a better option than traveling directly to a major airport located closer to the site.

This method can save you money as long as you won’t pay more for a transport between the second airport to your original destination than you will need to pay for an expensive non-stop flight ticket to a major airport.

A good thing to do before booking a flight is to check how much it is to fly directly to your chosen destination’s airport. Google Flights in this case can really help you as it offers you the option to check the prices of airports located close to your destination.

Choose flexible dates feature

If you want to score a cheap flight deal, then this feature is really convenient for you as it allows you to change your flight dates for a trip to Spain.

Some online travel agents offer you flexible dates option which means they will show you the available options for you within 3 days either before or after your chosen dates for a flight to Spain. So, you have the option to choose the dates that are most suitable for you.

No matter if you want to fly on business or pleasure, you will be able to find budget-friendly flight tickets for England.

One of the most popular routes from the U.S. to London is from New York John F. Kennedy to London Heathrow. When booked within 72 hours before departure, the round-trip ticket on this route costs $472.

The airlines that most frequently offer flights to England are:

Air France
Delta
Virgin Atlantic
Icelandair
Lufthansa
Finnair
Aer Lingus and they offer flights on the route New York-London.

These are considered some of the low-cost airlines.

One of the most popular destinations after London to fly to in England are Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol, Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds.

Here are the standard prices for most popular flight routes to England:

From New York to London- $351

From New York to Birmingham-$559

One of the cheapest flight deals to England is for a round-trip flight from Thessaloniki to London. When booked within 72 hours before departure, the flight ticket’s standard cost for this route is $236.

Useful advice how to score cheap flights to England:

Be flexible

One of the keys to fly in a cheap way is to avoid flying during peak times. For example the Christmas holidays, Easter and New Year as well as national holidays such as Thanksgiving, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day are one of the peak periods for flying. And this is regardless of which side of the Atlantic you are flying from.

Flight prices immediately before or after a holiday period are most often cheaper than these at the holiday dates.

November and December are considered to be a high season for flying while the cheapest month to book a flight to England is January. But it’s possible to find good flight deals in other months as well.

So, to score a cheap flight deal to England, you need to be flexible in terms of choosing where to land and which airline to fly with. Certain international airlines offer transatlantic flights at cheap prices.

Buy air miles

One of the best ways to save money while flying to any destination is to buy miles. Every air passenger can ask someone who flies frequently to sell them air miles.

Use online travel agents

Thanks to the internet now finding cheap flight deals for England is easier than ever. There are different travel websites that can help you score a cheap flight to England. You can even ask for a free quote.

The only downside of booking with online travel agents is that you may have a limited range of destinations to choose from.

Book your flight three weeks before departure

If you want to pay a below-average price for your next flight to England, try booking your flight at least three weeks before the departure date. But this strategy may not work, if you choose a popular flight.

Booking 52 days before your departure date is considered a wise step. It’s a fact that the closer your booking is to the departure date, the higher the price of your flight will go.

The more early you book your flight, the more options you will have. Those travelers who want to book their flight at a later date should know that the later date is a period of uncertainty for air companies. That’s because they will need to decide whether to decrease fares in order to fill all of the airplane’s seats.

Choose mid-week flights over weekend flights

The time you book your flight really makes a difference when it comes to the ticket price. Monday and Friday are considered the days when flights tend to be more expensive in general.

A mid-week flight means a flight on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday, so consider booking your flight at one of these days. Tuesday is considered the day when flights to England have cheapest prices. Sunday, on the other hand, is considered not a suitable day for finding a cheap flight to an English city.

In fact, choosing a night flight can be a good option for those of you who want to travel on a budget.

Pick up the right season and time

The season also matters when it comes to the prices of flights to England. Winter is a low season for flying to England in general and this is most often January to early March. So you are likely to get good rates for flights and accommodation during this period.

March is considered low season and June is considered high season. In March the cost for a flight to England drops by 7% and for June the cost increases by 24%.The average price for a round-trip flight in March is £70. For a flight booked in December the increase in price will be 2%.

The time of the day also matters, if you are looking for cheap flights to England. Our advice for you is to try booking your flight in the evening, in the morning or at midday as the prices of flights to England tend to increase in the afternoon due to the higher demand at this time of the day.

Choose secondary airports

Secondary airports are likely to offer special deals for cheap flights because their main focus is mainly attracting business class passengers.

If you are flying to London, when searching for flights check all of the airports in the area and not just the major ones.

Choose hub airports, if you fly from the U.S.

When booking your next flight to England, a good idea is to choose the hub airport of your chosen airline. Most major American airports need their passenger traffic, and that ‘s why they regularly offer ticket discounts for flights to England.

For example, Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Gatwick Airport (LGW) are the two main airports that operate most of the flights to and from the U.S. These airports are connected to London’s city center with a convenient public transportation system.

Choose flight routes with one or two stops

Non-stop flights may seem like a good idea, but if you are searching for a cheap way to fly to England, flights with stops are a better option for you.

Changing planes during travelling is inconvenient for any of us, but the good thing is that airlines offer discounts to those passengers who choose flights with one or two stops.

That’s because those customers who don’t mind to have stops during their air travel actually free seat space on the more expensive non-stop flights. And the discounted flight tickets are the reward airlines offer to these customers.

Pick up low-cost airlines

Some of the airlines that offer some of the cheapest flights to and from London are Ryanair and easyJet. These airlines offer flights between London and Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester and Birmingham.

If you want to see more than one city in England, a good idea is to use London as a base from which you can visit England by continuing your trip in the country by bus or train.

Check the small print

When looking for a cheap flight deal, make sure to read the small print in the offers of online travel agents. They sometimes mention additional fees for baggage items, certain meals or amenities such as blankets, pillows and other.

So you should always check the information given for your flight deal or contact the travel agent, if something is unclear to you.

Don’t change your ticket

If you need to choose whether to change your ticket or not, then simply don’t change it. Air companies want to make profits and they require a change fee from those passengers who want to switch their tickets.

So choose carefully before booking your flight ticket since air travelers who choose to change their tickets can’t bargain about the price. The fees, however, can vary from as low as $75 on a domestic flight to more than $500 on an international flight.

Pick up specific locations

Traveling for cheap means that you need to plan all of your trip’s details well in advance. This involves picking certain cities as part of your trip.

Most flyers who travel to a location in North England most often choose Manchester Airport (MAN) as a landing point which seems convenient.

But if you consider picking another location to land, you can get a decrease in the flight’s cost.

Landing at Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) or Leeds Bradford Yorkshire’s Airport (LBA) is a better option, if you want to save money on your flight to England.

Liverpool and Yorkshire are located at a 1-hour and a half distance from London.

Depending on the airline, if you want to fly to Liverpool but you cannot fly directly to the city, you can book your flight to Manchester. You can catch a train from Manchester and travel for one hour to Liverpool. The standard cost for train ride between the two cities is $8.

Consider the purpose of your air travel

If you want to find a cheap flight deal for London, you need to ask yourself first what is the purpose of your travel (whether you travel on business or you want to explore a new city’s sightseeings as a tourist).

Pick up airports that are located close to the sites you want to see or offer convenient transport options. This is a suitable option, if you want to stay near downtown too.

London City Airport (LCY) is the airport that is closest to the city’s center but its downside is that it operates the smallest number of flights.

Another option is Heathrow Airport that is located at 14.6 miles from central London and it offers an efficient public transportation network. You can book your flight to Heathrow Airport and use the airport’s public transport to reach London in less than 45 min.

For instance, some English cities are good gateways into the country as they are close to famous sites.

Such a city is Birmingham and its Birmingham Airport (BHX) has a convenient location. It’s a perfect destination for those of you who are fans of Shakespeare and want to visit the places associated with him. Birmingham’s airport is 25 miles away from Stradford-upon-Avon – Shakespeare’s birthplace.

Southampton is another popular destination in England. It’s well-known for its rich historical past and beautiful coasts. But if you plan to fly from the U.S. to Southampton, you should know that there are no direct flights to the city’s airport.

Fortunately, there are some airlines that offer a solution for cases like these. Air France, for example, offers those flyers from the U.S. an option for a layover in Paris first and afterwards a flight to Southampton Airport (SOU).

A round-trip from Edinburgh to London costs £52 and one-way trip from Edinburgh to London costs £24.

You should know that due to the Covid-19 pandemics all airlines that offer flights to England follow the safety measures required for the airline industry. These include pre-flight testing, increased sanitation, mandatory masks (passengers are provided with masks on-board), social distancing and flexible cancellations.

Pre-flight testing

Testing for Covid-19 symptoms and antibodies is obligatory for all passengers who are flying to England.

Social distancing

Everyone who is planning to fly to England should know that airlines don’t offer middle seats on their flights to the country.

Increased sanitation

All air companies who offer flights to England perform daily cleaning on their airplane cabins and use cabin HEPA filters.

Flexible cancellation

Certain airlines offer their customers who travel to England the option cancel a flight without paying a change fee.

Sometimes last-minute flight deals are also available at an affordable price but most often their prices are high.

Therefore, booking within 3 months to 30 days before departure is one of the best ways to get a good price for your flight to Vienna.

Booking early also guarantees you that you will get the exact seat you prefer. This is especially convenient for flights during peak periods.

If you choose to wait and book your flight at a later date, there is a chance that you may need to pay an extra cash for the same seat whose previous price was cheaper.

Use online travel agents

You can find different travel agents online that help you compare the prices of fights offered by the airlines.

As you know the prices of flight tickets tend to change on a regular basis and some can change every day. But even the slightest change can considerably increase your air travel expenses, especially if you need to book flights for several people.

Flying on multiple airlines is another option to save money on your flight.
