During the planning of your free and easy trip, finalising the travel dates is the number one priority. This is because all other subsequent planning, such as the flight, hotel, transportation and attractions booking requires your firm date of travel. Your travel dates will depend on your own availability, as well as how many destinations and attractions you plan to visit. There's another important factor to consider, which will be your travel budget. The longer you stay at your travel destination, the more you will have to spend on hotel accommodation, meals and transportation.
Booking the Flight
Once you have finalised your travel dates, the next task is to secure your flight to your travel destination. Booking your flight early will give a you better chance to secure the good flight timing that you want, the seats that you would prefer, as well as promotions offered by the airline. Select direct flights if possible, as this will help reduce your overall travel time. Depending on your departure location, a direct flight to your destination might not always be available. So in this case, try to limit to one transit stopover, as having too many transit stops affects your rest/sleep time. In some cases, a direct air ticket could be expensive and out of your budget, then you may want to explore other cheaper alternative routes with transit stop.
You can make use of travel website like Expedia to check on the available flight options from your departure point to your destination. Expedia allows to you to filter the flight options by the price (lowest to highest), number of transit stop and operating airlines. This helps you to quickly nail down the potential choices. Within the filtered option, you can further check on the transit stop details and waiting time, flight seating availability, seat information and review as provided by Seat Guru, flight baggage fee information and the overall flight rating.
