Long time travel can be very expensive. Research is king if you want to stick to a budget. I want to share some less known online resources I have been collecting over the past couple of months.
You can use AirfareWatchdog to track time-sensitive airline deals too hard to track on your own. Unlike other airfare search engines AirfareWatchdog also tracks Southwest and JetBlue.
Sure you can find hotel reviews at TripAdvisor, but they are often contradictory and badly written. Raveable analyses and quantifies reviews from all over the web and provides an average rating. Very helpful when you want to get a feel for a certain place to stay.
Kemwel aggregates rock-bottom hotel and car rental rates and works specially well in Europe, Mexico and Australia.
Dealbase is super easy to use and pleasing to the eye. A newcomer into the travel search engine game it highlights bargain hotel rooms in North America, Mexico and the Caribbean.
I couldn’t leave Oyster out of this list, they give you a real look into the hotel. We all have experienced the disenchantment when we arrive at the hotel only to realize that the place looks nothing like the picture. Oyster helps prevent that.
