When planning to visit any country be it just in the neighbourhood with common borders or one that is miles away, one should try planning the trip well in advance. This helps you to get the low fare flights to the destination of your choice. 

2. Pick off-season

If you want to get the best rooms at the lowest cost, then plan your trip during the off-season. The hotel accommodation costs are the lowest during this time.

3. Seek services of a travel booking agent

In case you are not able to follow the above two points and still wish to enjoy an affordable holiday, it is best if you seek the services of a travel booking agent. The agent brings to you the most affordable packages for any destination be it Spain Portugal holiday packages or the USA holiday packages.

When packing

1. Do a brief research about the place

Whatever be the location of your choice, researching a bit about the culture and way of life, the do’s and don’ts would certainly be beneficial. By doing this, one would be aware of the possible problems that he or she might have to face in the city. 

2. Pack according to the weather in the cities in itinerary

If you consider visiting 2 or 3 cities at a stretch, do pack keeping in mind the weather of each of these. The weather conditions of some cities are very unpredictable.

3. Pack a pair of clothes in your handbag

Many a times, it may happen that there may be a delay in you receiving the luggage. So, keeping a pair of clothes and some essentials in your hand luggage is a good idea.

When travelling

When you are in the foreign land, be prepared for the worst. It is the wise to keep a few numbers handy. For example, keep a small diary with the contact numbers of the people who can help you with money or anything in case of an emergency. Also, do take note of the emergency numbers of the city. For example, 911 is the emergency number of North America.

2. Always keep a copy of your passport

There have been several instances where people lose their passports. So, it is better to keep a copy of your passport to help you out in the worst cases.
 
3. Keep a local cash with you

In this digital era, most of us rely on the credit cards and debit card for transactions. However, you should also carry some amount of local currency during your international visit.
