One of the biggest travel hacks that has saved me money is being flexible with my dates and destinations. I use fare tracking sites and apps to find the cheapest days and routes to fly. Packing light to avoid checked bag fees is another simple way I cut costs. But my favorite hack is taking advantage of credit card points and airline/hotel loyalty programs to score free flights and accommodations.

1) I strictly avoid high seasons
2) I strongly prefer a medium to short distance, to spare on taxis/UBER
3) Since this year, I give my preference to aparthotels, as I can count on cockpits to let my couple prepare our own meals (so avoiding restaurants: such a tip counts on a secondary benefit for me, as I'm sure to avoid food causing me allergies)

Conducted tours to my mind are cheaper as we are put up in 5 star hotels which would not be possible if one were to take holidays on their own
I do not travel on high seasons. My credit card can earn travel miles which I can redeem to save on airfare. I always travel light to avoid paying excessive baggage fee.
I've tried quite a few travel hacks over the years, but one that consistently saves me money is being smart about booking flights. One of my go-to hacks for saving money on travel is looking for a discount business class ticket whenever possible. I’ve found that some lesser-known sites specialize in these kinds of deals, especially if you're flexible with your travel dates or are booking last minute. I also try to book flights during mid-week, as the prices tend to be lower compared to weekends.
I usually travel during the off-peak season as there is a higher chance that it is affordable. In addition, I like to cut costs by bringing along some snacks to avoid going all out on fast food. Hehe
Travelling during the off seasons is the major thing that has saved me a lot of money.
