Successful travel is not just about the cheapest airline tickets. You have many other things to consider when planning a trip on the cheap...like time constraints because of time wasted in the air or in airports and not actually travelling. Waiting on lists for someone to get bumped that doesn't happen, ground transportation, accomodations, food, etc.

There are two ways to save money traveling. The first way is to get the best deals on the specific things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach though. If , for example, you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of the season, you
will save money, but still have a very expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want, or what you think you want, will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life.

To get the most out of your hotel accommodations, remember to book as early as possible and make your dates more flexible. Hotels that specialize for business people will consider weekends as off season. Family vacationers could tap into these special packages during weekends. Primarily, you should choose your hotel based on name, amenities, features, price, packages and location.

In order to get the most out of your travel, whether for business or family vacations, be sure to know everything about the hotel you are planning to check in to. Ask friends and relatives who have been there. Don't just depend on the hotel's webpage which is undoubtedly biased. Having to stay in a hotel which you don't like could ruin your trip.

Watch the port area if you come by ship. There are people who approach you and tell you about their own rooms around the area, at low prices. Sometimes you can even bargain to get a better price.

When you arrive at your destination by air, you will then need to find cheap ground transportation. I suggest when at all possible use mass transit. In Bangkok for instance, they have a monorail and very nice subway that nearly encircles the entire Metro area. You can travel around the entire city on the subway and monorail for much cheaper and faster than using a taxi or motorcycle taxi.

Lastly, always study the local laws and culture of the destination before you go. There are many do's and don'ts...especially in Asia that will save you headaches, embarrassment, and in worst cases...encarceration.
