    7 tips for budget summer travel: from the best time to book flights to finding hotel deals With summer right around the corner, here's a guide to finding a more affordable vacation if you're thinking of getting away Summer travel tips for holidaying on a a budget. Courtesy Unsplash With summer right around the corner, if you're thinking about taking a holiday, you're not alone. Travel restrictions in place owing to the Covid-19 pandemic mean that millions of people have not been able to venture overseas in a year or longer. But with vaccination rates ramping up, travellers are once again eager to take to the skies. In the UAE, May was a busy month for air travel with Dubai International Airport named the world's busiest airport for international flights, with 1,895,866 scheduled seats. As traveller confidence returns, it's getting a little more tricky to find the bargain deals that were around a few months ago when airlines and hotels were desperate to get people on their seats and in their rooms. But that's not to say there are no summer offers to be found, if you're willing to put in the work you can still grab a bargain. Full article: https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/travel/7-tips-for-budget-summer-travel-from-the-best-time-to-book-flights-to-finding- hotel-deals-1.1233572 1 Book flights sooner, rather than later While experts have predicted that travelling will get more expensive in a post Covid-19 world, right now we're still in the midst of things, so there are still bargain airfares to be found.
