Plan your travels for off peak seasons to save money.

Postby Presh » 18 Oct 2023, 15:41

We LL know that during peak periods like summer, christmas and other important holidayd, the cost of transportation use to skyrocket to high heavens almost going to triple the off season periods. It is best to plan your journeys during the off peak period to save money. I personally travel a month before Christmas to save cost.

I wish I could do that, but unfortunately, I can't, my husband is a teacher and he can't take vacations when he wants, only when there are school holidays and we all know that school holidays are always in the peak seasons like Summer, Christmas, Easter...

I can feel your pains. He can plan his annual leave to coincide with off peak periods.

I have already planned my christmas journey for second week of November. The rates would still be fairly sane by then. As from first week of December, peak travelling sets in and the rates would be triple the current price.

unfortunately he can't, he is forced to take vacations outside of school hours, i.e. when schools close for vacations and school vacations are always in the peak seasons.

The life of a teacher. I perfectly understand. My dad was a teacher himself. But his was a little flexible because he was teaching in a government school where they had many teachers.

When you plan your journey forget off season, you avoid the rush which always leads to higher fares. But family wants their children back during festive periods. How I wish they can understand.

Anything that is done during peak periods always comes with an inflated cost. It is better to avoid that peak period If you are on a tight budget.

Every individual could have their own way of thinking but in my view, people those who plan for trip usually somewhat rich people and they can afford extra expenses and off season trip somewhat don't have any mean.

Sometimes, it's not all about having money. Flight tickets get too exorbitant during peak periods and even top business people fix business trips for off peak periods.

My husband is a teacher in a public school but here there is a shortage of teachers, so if someone is absent there is no teacher to replace the class. Thet aren't allowed to take holidays during the classes period.

For me it's a big No to this type of money saving tip. This is because during off peak seasons the vacation would be of no value because time would have elapsed for the important celebration like Christmas. I think one should plan themselves for the travels on advance to cater for the price increments during the peak seasons.

Could be reasonable though. But having to pay three times the normal fare is something that is outargeeous. You can skip Christmas and still unite with your family other times of the year.

It is still few weeks to Christmas and the cost of road travels in my country has started to skyrocket. By next month which is December, prices for inter city transportation would double. I think now is the best time to travel .

I am traveling to my hometown by first week if December. I can't wait to be caught up by the peaks of transportation price hike for Christmas. If not, I might not start the new year on a good note financially.

Most people whose jobs haven't allowed them to travel early have given up entirely on travelling this Christmas period because of high cost of transportation.

It will be fun but the problem is not everyone will be able to get holiday from work in off-season but if you can then it will be great and will save money

We managed to take a mini vacation in January (3 days) to go to Spain, it was a struggle for my husband to take a Friday off but he managed it.
We plan everything in the summer and that way we get very affordable prices.

I do that and that's why I don't even take Sunday as week off and prefer Wednesday or Thursday and this way you get more discounts in the off season
