How many hot tours appear. The low tourist season is the time of last-minute tours. Use smart search

Gone are the days when all information about travel packages was available only to employees of travel agencies with access to specialized booking systems. Now all information about tours can be found on the websites of tour operators, as well as on online services(new generation agencies) that aggregate all tours in one place and analyze offers from various tour operators, allowing you to find the best. Using these services, you can buy a tour online without leaving your home. While other tourists run after work through agencies, you can easily track and intercept a profitable offer at any time convenient for you.

2. Low price calendar from Travelata

Looks like a calendar from Level.travel. There are 27 destinations on the calendar, 4 of them are Russian: Crimea, Sochi, Krasnaya Polyana, Anapa. In our opinion, the Level.Travel calendar gives out more interesting options, but it happens that in the calendar from Travelata you can find an interesting cheap option. Drop by!

3. Tape of last-minute tours from Level.travel

It is a list of tours (so far only with a departure from Moscow) in the form of data cards. The feed is less visual than the calendar, it may contain the same tours, and clicking on the option will take you to the final page of the tour, skipping the step with choosing a room and food options. If you have a specific request, then use the filters in the panel on the left. Sort by price to find the cheapest options. The advantage of the feed over the calendar is that the calendar shows tours only for a certain number of nights - 3, 7, 11 and 14, while in the feed, not a single tour will fall out of attention just because it is for 6 nights, and not the standard 7.

4. Hot tours from Travelata

Arranged according to the principle of last-minute Level.Travel tours - there is a tape of tours in the selected direction (you can select up to 3 directions at the same time), there are filters by type of food, hotel star rating, etc. We set the parameters you need and go ahead.

6. Advanced search

Now let's pay attention to the search form, which is on the main page on all three Level.Travel, Travelata and Onlinetours sites, namely the parameters "departure date" and "number of nights". Always make them more flexible, so you more chances find the best deal. Consider specific examples:

1. . You can tick the option plus / minus 2 days from the date of departure and plus / minus 2 nights from the specified number of nights.

2. . You can put plus / minus 3 days from a specific departure date and set a flexible number of nights in the run-up from 1 to 29.

3. . You can set the date of departure in the interval of 10 days and the number of nights in the interval of five.

And here's another tip for you on how you can use advanced search: when you find a cheap tour on the calendar (see point 1 or 2), set a flexible number of nights for this date - sometimes you can find even more profitable options this way.

7. Price chart

In all three online agencies, and implemented a price chart widget. After starting the search, you can find it: Level.travel to the right of the hotel feed, Travelata and Onlinetours above the search results. In we press a special icon with a calendar. We look at this chart and, if we see that there are other dates with lower prices, click on them and check. We noticed that these graphs do not always show the actual values, but in general they help a lot.

8. Don't Forget the General Principles

Above, we have analyzed the technical aspects of finding cheap tours, but do not forget about general principles to which our article is devoted - a must-read!

9. Compare agency discounts

Everyone has long been accustomed to the fact that travel agencies can give discounts. The retail price for the tour is set by the tour operator, so in theory the prices for tours should be the same for all sellers. But travel agencies are willing to share with you their share of the percentage of the sale, so buying from an agent can be more profitable than directly from a tour operator.

Online agencies are no exception to this, and you can see these discounts both in the final price, which may be lower than that of the tour operator, and in the form of various promotional codes, bonuses for buying or inviting friends. We have an article where we painted,. If you find a tour at the same price in different online agencies, think: where in the end you will get a big discount, buy there.

So, every day, using the methods listed above, and sometimes even more sophisticated ways, we find tours for very favorable prices. We publish all our finds on the Tour Scanner page. In our searches, we always evaluate the offers of several agencies, we are independent of them, so we manage to collect in one place maximum amount the very best offers.

Finding an interesting offer is sometimes not easy, but remember that buying these tours in time is also sometimes not an easy task. Look at the prices we find and imagine how many people might want to buy a tour for this price. Of course, the modern tourist who books online has a clear advantage over the tourist who wastes time running to a regular agency after work or at lunchtime. But you are not the only one who books online, and usually there are a limited number of cheap tours or even just one (the tour operator has last places for charter). As a result, there may be a situation that you are booking, the agent makes a request to the tour operator, and by this time the places for the charter have already been bought out or the room at the selected hotel has not been confirmed. Of course, in this case, the money for the reservation is instantly returned to the card, but you still wanted to fly away on vacation. So that it doesn't work out with you similar situation We have put together some practical tips for you:

1. Clearly imagine where you would like to fly to rest. Start navigating the cost this direction: This is easy to figure out by looking at the cheap price calendar.

2. Choose one of the tactics: early booking or last minute tour. If you have chosen a last-minute tour, be prepared to fly out the next day. If early booking, do not delay the purchase, the price of the option you like will gradually increase.

3. If there is “Fortune” in the search results of last minute hotels, choose it: Great chance that the tour will confirm. Also pay attention to the marks of the agencies: “instant confirmation” (after booking, the tour is automatically confirmed immediately, since the tour operator has a block of places under warranty in this hotel), “on request” tour (confirmation of such a tour can take from 1 to 3 days).

5. Subscribe to the Tour Scanner newsletter in Telegram and Viber or follow the publications on social networks to be the first to know about new cheap tours.

6. If you see a suitable offer, act quickly, without wasting a second.

Having a good and inexpensive vacation abroad is not at all such an impossible task as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to be at the right time in right place. In this, the proposals called "burning" will help you in many ways.

There have already been many warnings on this issue, but maybe it’s worth just figuring out once how to spoil such long-awaited vacation? Let's dispel such a myth-shrouded issue as "hot tours".

Myth #1. A hot tour is a tour that tourists bought, but refused to go a few days before departure.

Nobody refused anything. In reality, the situation is as follows: the tour operator pays partners in advance for the components of the tour: air tickets, insurance, transfer, visas (these are constant amounts that make up the cost of the tour).

There is another element that forms the price of the tour - this is the price of the hotel. So, in the event that the planned number of seats on the plane is not filled, the company (often at a loss to itself) in last days reduces the cost of the hotel to fill the plane, since all seats on the flight are paid in advance.

So the price drops due to the fact that the operator lowers the price of the hotel. Please note that the price of the tour falls not in a specific company, but in all those cooperating with a specific tour operator.

Myth #2. Cheap is good.

Rest is rest. And believe me, there are some hotels that will ruin your vacation, even if you were ready to live in terrible conditions, in order to save money. But upon arrival, you will understand that you should have bought a more expensive tour, then the vacation would have taken place in normal conditions and you would have eaten well.

Such hotels, which in fact and the amount you paid, are not worth it in every country. You can view their list on the company's website. Also, every tourist should get acquainted with the reviews about the hotel. But remember that the sweetest can be artificially sweet.

Keep in mind that the prices of tours are very dependent on the season. The hotel where your friends rested in May may not be available for you in August, as it will cost at least twice as much.

So beware of the cheapest hotels and those agencies that sell exclusively cheap tours. This means that the company does not care about the quality of your holiday, they just need to sell the tour.

Myth number 3. Before buying, you need to call a lot of companies.

The fact is that travel companies are a kind of shops that sell the products of tour operators. So if there is nice tour, then it will be with different agencies at the same time.

The range of offers of a travel company can only be expanded through cooperation with several tour operators. And the cost of the same hotel for different operators may be different.

So if you want big list offers from which you can choose the perfect tour, go to the agency whose partners are several operators at the same time.

Myth #4. The closer to departure, the cheaper it is.

You should not expect or wish for a company of low demand for a particular flight. If this does not happen, you may end up without a ticket.

If you like the price of the tour, don't wait for the last days, book now. And then instead of getting an even lower price, you may generally miss the opportunity to fly there, then from the city that suits you.

Myth number 5. It is not profitable to book in advance.

The fact is that in winter spring tour costs much less. Also, if the demand for certain flights is initially high and tickets sell like hot cakes in the last days, when there are single seats left for the flight, travel companies raise the price of these seats. Because they know that they will be bought anyway, as demand is high.

If you see good hotel at a bargain price, know that you are not the only one seeing this offer. And from this it follows that places can be bought, you just take a risk.

Book a tour immediately if you like it. In addition, expensive and bad hotels are the last to be bought up.

Myth number 6. I myself (a) will find a tour on the Internet.

It is quite logical that you may ask yourself the following question: "Why can't I find my own tour on the Internet if the managers do the same." And to some extent you are right. You can find out sites where tour agents are looking for, you can learn how to use them, you can even find time to compare prices for tours of different operators.

But in order to find the optimal hotel, so that it is really good, it takes many years of experience to confirm that it matches the description in reality. This is all the data, the information that managers collect during their work.

So, in order to choose a great tour option, you need to become an experienced manager. In addition, a small detail - tour operators do not have the right to sell tours to individuals.

Myth #9. Buying a tour directly from a tour operator is much cheaper.

We return to the last sentence of the previous paragraph. Firstly, it is impossible, the operators do not cooperate with individuals. How if you bought from Tez Tour?

But the fact is that you bought from an authorized agency that sells at the same price as other travel companies.

So, it is worth thinking about the honesty of the agency, which tells customers that the tour they bought is being sold by the Tez Tour operator itself.

Myth number 7. You can always think of another day.

Understand, a tour is not a blouse that is sold in a store. The same tour can suit many clients.

And since companies sell products of tour operators (as we have already found out), if a tour was bought in one company, it disappears in another company automatically. Hurry up to buy a great tour.

Myth number 8. The bigger the discount, the cheaper.

Ask not the size of the discount, but the final price offered at a discount. Because you can always raise the original price of the tour to increase the discount.

For example, there are often situations when a tour, which is inexpensive in our company, is sold at big discounts in many agencies, but the cost is still higher there.

Myth No. 10. First, you need to choose a hotel by phone, and then buy a tour to this hotel in the agency.

The fact is that you are flying out a specific hotel is attached to a specific date, which may not suit you. In addition, by the time you get to the travel company, the rooms in this hotel can be sold out.

Almost all clients who immediately say which hotel they want to stay in end up buying a tour to another hotel. So be guided by the dates you need, the cost and the package of services that you want to receive.

So, in order to profitably buy a last-minute tour, you should contact the agency that cooperates with big amount travel operators.

You should also study in advance the list of hotels where it is better not to stay, but do not immediately choose the one where you want to stay. And do not delay the purchase to the last, otherwise you risk losing your tidbit.

If you are going on a trip with children, then, of course, you should not wait until the last minute. Good rooms in decent family hotels By reasonable prices sell out quickly. And when choosing a good hotel, you will most likely come across the fact that everything is sold.

Specialists advise taking advantage of special offers for early booking in the following cases:

If your holiday is tied to a specific hotel infrastructure. For example, you are vacationing with young children and you need the hotel to meet the relevant requirements.
If you want to be sure to have a good rest during the moments of peak demand: during school holidays, New Year or May holidays.
Early booking is also worth using if you prefer one particular hotel.
If you are going to vacation in high season on popular resort, where vouchers are always sold out well and there are no last-minute tours, earlier booking guarantees you a certain discount.
And finally, the undoubted advantage of buying such tour packages is the ability to choose a convenient flight and a more comfortable airline for the flight.

What to pay attention to?

Here are a few points that we would advise you to pay attention to if you are attracted low prices with early booking.

Hotels, of course, can reduce accommodation prices, but letting guests in for free is unlikely. Plane tickets are the most expensive part of the tour package, sometimes it is 70% of the cost of the tour. And fuel prices are rising - and tickets, despite regularly appearing discount promotions from airlines, are not at all cheap. If you are offered a vacation in Cuba or in Dominican Republic for $ 600, think about it: an ocean tour cannot cost less than a flight.

Unfortunately, the experience of the last two years, when several large and medium-sized tour operators “disappeared” on the Russian tourist market, suggests that, being already on the verge of collapse, companies were selling tours at unrealistically low prices. They received the money, but they did not pay for any tickets, transfers, or hotels. Behind last year 10 thousand tourists either lost money altogether and could not rest, or ended up in a foreign country on the street, without return tickets.

Seasoned traveler experience

Natasha, 35 years old, two children - 2 years and 6 years old:"My husband and I are avid travelers. Previously, we could go to an agency, buy a last-minute ticket, and fly somewhere the next day. But with the advent of children, everything changed. No, we didn’t stop traveling. But we began to take the choice more seriously country and the hotel we want to vacation in. In addition, my husband got a more stable job, and is forced to plan his vacation in advance. We already know at the beginning of the year when we can devote time to rest. While the eldest son was young, and we were not attached to school, we preferred to rest in the off-season - and cheaper, and fewer people. But this year, the son goes to grade 1 - we decided that we need to have a good rest in the summer. Therefore, we are already looking at all the offers of travel agencies for August. This is a high season, so We will be booking a hotel and a flight now.

Sergey, 42 years old, son 13 years old:"I always plan my vacation in advance, especially since there is not much choice, I have to adapt to the child's vacation in order to relax together. For example, new year holiday on ski resort We have already planned in September. And well done! Our friends who wanted to join us in early November were faced with the fact that all tours to our hotel were sold out. Summer holidays we are also thinking about it. We have not yet decided on the country, but we already know that it will be Europe. In the near future I will go to our agent to book a tour."

Marina, 27 years old, daughter 3 years old:“We stopped using the services of our travel agencies altogether: we book everything perfectly via the Internet ourselves. Now there are a lot of sites where you can book a hotel with a decent discount. you can cook on your own - and not all travel agencies offer such rooms. But in order to catch a profitable offer, we begin to monitor the websites of airlines and hotels in advance. Sometimes it turns out to be much cheaper than buying a tour in an agency. "

Some useful tips:

Do not flatter yourself with big discounts, most often this is a marketing ploy or a publicity stunt.
Reasonably evaluate the price-quality ratio. Remember that even with early booking, the average price of a 10-day tour per person to a decent hotel fluctuates around 1000€ to Europe and 1000$ to Turkey, Israel, Egypt, Tunisia and other not very distant countries.
Do not buy even the most attractive tours in an unknown travel agency.
When buying a tour, be sure to ask which tour operator provides you with this service. Do not be too lazy to go to the website of the Federal Tourism Agency - to check if such an operator exists, and for what amount it is insured.
Don't save on medical insurance- especially if you are traveling with children.
Be sure to read the contract that you sign - carelessness can cost a pretty penny.
Keep the contract and all payment documents until the end of the trip. In the event that you are settled in the wrong room or in the wrong hotel (which is possible in the high season), they will be very useful to you.

In Soviet times good workers received vouchers to sanatoriums from trade unions. And when a hard worker for some reason refused a ticket, and even at the last moment, they said that it was “burning”. The expression "burning ticket" has taken root and migrated to the modern tourism industry.

Now burning tickets are called, which are sold a few days before departure and at very low prices. There are especially many such proposals during low season. For beach tours- this is early spring and late autumn, and for skiing - summer.

Due to the reduction in the volume of charter flights, there are not so many last-minute tours now. Tour operators try to make commitments in line with projected demand. The hottest offers are at the beginning of the season, when demand is lower and charter flights have already begun.

Veniamin Bondarev

Where do hot tickets come from?

Tour operators before the start of the tourist season redeem or book tickets and hotel rooms in advance. Formed tours are implemented by travel agencies. But it is impossible to predict exactly how many tickets will be sold.

When they talk about a last-minute ticket, they usually mean the ticket that has a very close departure date. In this regard, it needs to be sold urgently. The price goes down because you have to fill the remaining space on the plane and the hotel and at least earn something.

In order not to lose the money spent on the reservation, tour operators and travel agencies have to sell tours almost at cost. Yes, they will not receive the planned dividends, but they will not remain in the red.

For a tourist, this option is beneficial if he is willing to take risks and wait until the last minute for the sake of a low price, or, for example, if free time for the trip appeared suddenly.

Ilya Otkalo

According to Ilya Otkalo, the law does not contain the concept of a “last minute tour”, so by and large, a “last minute tour” is just a marketing ploy so that a tourist can highlight offers that are lower than the market price. At the same time, by selling cheap tours, travel agencies get grateful loyal customers.

Another reason why a ticket becomes a burning one is the rejection of already purchased tours. For example, a person planned a vacation, booked a ticket in advance, but just a week before departure he fell ill and canceled the trip. So that the place on the plane and the hotel room are not empty, travel agencies reduce the cost of the ticket and try to quickly resell it.

Finally, sometimes last-minute tours appear on the market due to force majeure events in the host country. If the political situation in the state has become aggravated or there has been disaster, the demand for tours to this country is falling sharply. Tourists can only be lured by a significant reduction in prices so that the desire to save money prevails over security considerations.

Features of burning tickets

Voucher to visa-free countries usually becomes burning 2-5 days before departure, and in countries where you need to apply for a visa - 7-10 days before departure. This means that time is running out for everything. Literally in a couple of days you need to have time to pay for the tour, arrange everything Required documents And .
You need to be prepared for the "low season" service. On the one hand, there will be few tourists around, which is a plus for many. But on the other hand, there is also less entertainment and attention from the staff. Do not be surprised if many shops and restaurants are closed, and hotel guide will offer just a couple of excursions.
Travel agencies do not book last-minute trips without the full payment of the client. If, when buying a regular tour, you first pay a part of the amount, and give the rest of the money later, receiving tickets and a voucher, then in the case of a last-minute tour, you will have to pay it immediately and in full. This money is non-refundable.

Thus, a burning ticket is perfect solution for a person who is easy-going, but limited in means. Such a tour is suitable for you if you are unprincipled (if only there was a sea, mountains ...), and you can adjust your vacation to the trip (and not vice versa).

But you should not agree to the first “hot” offer that comes across. Not every voucher, called burning, is such.

How to find a real last minute ticket

When the soul and heart require rest, it is difficult to remain cool at the sight of proposals that begin with the words "Super promotion!" or "The lowest prices of the season."

But the seductive price tag does not guarantee that you really have a burning ticket in front of you. Perhaps the price did not fall, but simply became normal. Travel agencies sometimes deliberately inflate the cost of tours in order to later attract customers with discounts. In order not to become a victim of "attraction unprecedented generosity”, study the prices on the market and find out how much the package of services offered to you in other companies costs without any discounts.

Many travel agencies, in order to stimulate sales, may pass off ordinary tours as last-minute ones. They just take the tours with the lowest price and present them as burning ones.

Ilya Otkalo

Also, sometimes the most ordinary tours with very, very cheap hotels. For example, it can only be a hotel that has just opened and has not yet earned a reputation, or a hotel located far from the sea.

Be sure to check out TopHotels.ru or TripAdvisor.ru and find out what kind of hotel you are offered.

You may not be satisfied with the level of comfort, even if the ticket is generally free.

You can also recognize pseudo-burning tours by other indirect signs.

Prices for accommodation in expensive hotels, belonging to some large network, are usually stable and do not decrease depending on the tourist season. If you are offered inexpensive ticket with a check-in at such a hotel, there is a high probability that the travel agency has cut the package of services somewhere and disguises the tour as a burning one.
During national holidays, during the holidays and vacations there are very few last-minute offers. If you manage to catch a ticket that was turned down, you're in luck. If the travel agency offers a wide range of last-minute tours during the peak season, be careful.
Attend some large-scale foreign event, such as a cool music Festival or a sports tournament, with a last-minute ticket is almost impossible. Flights and hotels for these dates are booked many months in advance. And you should be very careful if the travel agency suddenly makes a "delicious" offer.

You are really offered a burning tour if:
- less than two weeks left before departure (the closer the departure, the lower the price);
- this is a charter flight;
- accommodation is offered not in a city hotel, but in a popular beach hotel where tour operators book blocks of seats.

Veniamin Bondarev

What you need to pay attention to when buying a burning ticket

Package of services

In this, a burning ticket should not differ in any way from a booked one in advance. Flight, transfer, meals, accommodation, insurance, excursions - everything is like in a regular tour in this country V given time. If you are offered a reduced package of services, then most likely they are trying to disguise the ticket as a burning one.

It must be understood that a burning offer may be burning because no one bought it in advance. The hotel may be useless, the flight inconvenient, the food unsatisfactory. Therefore, carefully study the contract and the composition of the proposal and, of course, look at the reviews of the proposed hotel.

Ilya Otkalo

Be sure to ask about the reason for the reduced cost of the tour. And in general, do not hesitate to ask the travel agent questions - time is short, and it is better to immediately clarify all incomprehensible points.

Advice: read the contract carefully. Pay attention to the legal details of the tour operator and travel agency, information about the license to carry out tourism activities, dates of flights, check-in and check-out. Examine the conditions for changing and terminating the agreement, as well as the procedure for filing claims.

Reputation of the travel agency

Almost all travel companies offer last minute tours. After all, they all conclude agreements with major tour operators and use their databases. But not all travel agencies conscientiously fulfill their duties, and some sometimes frankly cheat.

In order to find out if the price is really reduced, you can compare tours for the next dates using online tour search engines.

Veniamin Bondarev

To buy a cheap last minute tour, not just cheap tour with disgusting conditions, contact trusted companies that have been operating on the market for a long time. It is best to choose an agency whose services you yourself or your friends have already used. It is also worth looking for reviews on travel forums.

Advice: if in doubt, check the tour operator according to the Unified Federal Register of Tour Operators, and the travel agency according to the register of travel agencies.

Visa

Hot tours are, as a rule, tours in popular tourist destinations. This is because the status of a burning ticket gets 7-10 days before departure. It is difficult to get a visa during this time.

Yes, travel agencies work with consulates is usually already debugged. But difficulties with documents can always arise: the wrong certificate, the questionnaire is incorrectly filled out, and so on. And then the client will be denied a visa, he will not fly anywhere and his money will simply burn out.

Advice: to fly to Europe on a last-minute ticket, apply for a Schengen visa in advance on your own.

Are you planning a vacation abroad, but the prices for good propositions- to put it mildly, bite? Especially for you, we have prepared several tricks that allow you to reduce the final score by tourist package. Something that travel agents won't tell you for sure.

Only proven tricks that save your hard earned money.

The article is relevant when choosing popular, "all inclusive" destinations: Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Dominican Republic, etc. And for those who are used to buying package tours containing: transfer, hotel, flight and insurance.

All-inclusive package is cheaper than usual - how to save money when buying

A complex approach

Oddly enough, but a vacation in hot countries for a couple of weeks is much more profitable to buy a “package” through a travel agency. Independent, step-by-step: booking air tickets, a hotel for accommodation, buying insurance and transfer - justifies itself only if long trips, for a period of one month. Why is that?

The fact is that with the wholesale "purchase" of hotels and tickets for air transportation of passengers, the tour operator receives decent discounts. Of course, in order for tourists to turn to him, and not to start "free swimming", he shares part of the discount with you.

Can everyone see?

To save on a ticket to hot countries, we do not recommend focusing on one tour operator. Much more logical to look for package tours in travel aggregator companies, where offers from all popular travel operators are presented. Every tour. the operator sets its own prices. The difference in the cost of a voucher, including the same items, can reach 30%.

A tour operator is one who organizes tours: establishes contacts with representatives of hotels, air carriers. Most popular examples: TezTour, Biblio Globus, Anex Tour, Pegast touristic.

Travel company - an organization that offers for sale ready-made tours from tour operators. It has its own premium for sold tours to the end consumer.

Early = cheaper

To reduce the cost of travel popular destinations Please pay attention to early booking. As a rule, a pre-planned purchase helps to save up to 40% of the cost of the tour + gives you a head start in choosing hotels and rooms.

Early Booking is a program that runs from January to April. You buy much in advance, in the first months of the year, and in return, hotels offer up to 40% discount on the cost of tours scheduled for May-April. Remarkably, travel operators allow you to pay for such tours in installments, without interest and overpayments.

The famous place is worth more

Chain hotels are much more expensive than local ones. Want to save money on an all-inclusive package? Study the websites of small hotels, read reviews on them and make a choice in favor of such accommodation.

Overpayment "for the name" can reach 10-30% under equal conditions of residence and provision of services.

Right time

The holiday will be just as amazing, but much cheaper if you choose the right dates. The beginning and end of the season: May and September will always be 20-30% cheaper than in the midst of vacations and school holidays.

Do you want to do well? Do it yourself!

But, some correction should be made: before going to the manager, we advise you to independently look at various hotels to choose from. And to do this through a resource in which all tour operators are offered. For example, fly.ru.

The travel agent is not interested in your savings. Perhaps you will find something more profitable?

On any such search engines there is a rating system. All chain or popular hotels will be located higher than non-advanced, economical alternatives. Sometimes, not rated, but very successful offers are not “thrown out” at all in the general search. In this case, it is necessary to put a tick on specific hotels.

Of course, having previously found them on the Internet. This trick will allow you not only to save money on buying a ticket, but also to choose an excellent offer that is not sold at tripartite prices.

Every day counts

If you have already started an independent preliminary search for a hotel, “play around” with the dates. Very often, tours can differ by 2% -5% in value only on whether you fly out a day earlier or later.

Travel agents are too lazy to make such "brute force". And you can win a couple of extra thousand by pressing a couple of buttons.

Dollar $ and its value

Pay attention to the dollar. All trips to hot countries are tied to this currency. If today you pay 57,600 rubles for a ticket worth $1,000, then tomorrow, with a possible fall, you will have to pay only 56,300 rubles. A trifle, but nice, right?

The exchange rate for tomorrow is set after lunch. Is the dollar rising? Buy today? Is it falling? Pay your ticket tomorrow.

What about haggling?

Few people know, but with managers in travel agency you can bargain. Of course, not like in the market in Egypt, but throwing off a couple of thousand rubles from every thousand dollars is quite likely.

They have their own margin on the cost you paid. If the manager is interested in the client and does not want to let him go, he will offer you a discount. Less willing to trade during early booking- their benefit is much lower, less cheat on the tour.

Back to hot

If you missed the possibility of early booking, but you want to save money on your vacation, turn your attention towards last-minute tours. By the way, the best deals can be found in groups social networks major travel agencies in your city.

Unlike typical sites selling holidays, they post “free” canceled tours or really “burning out” vouchers with departure tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

We hope these tricks will help you save at least a small, but pleasant amount of money when buying a ticket to hot country. Do you know of any other features? Maybe you have found other ways to save money? Share your opinions and stories in the comments!
