3 Top Tips to using the Internet for Cheaper Ibiza Travel

Summer has arrived and if you are considering an Ibiza break this year it’s worth getting familiarised with some of the top money saving options that are now available – you could shave pounds off your next trip!

Package and last minute deals are all well and good, but for those of us who find it hard to make travel plans in January or have commitments that don’t allow you to drop everything for a last minute bargain, these offers can work out a little bit impractical.

Getting a good deal and even a discount is essentially easier these days, you just need to know when and where to look. Gone are the days of shuffling into your local travel agent to ask uncomfortably for a ‘mangers special’, a package put together from everything they had left over. Today travel discounts are smarter, easier to find and better value.

1. Voucher Codes

Whether you’re heading off for idyllic sunsets over the ocean or looking to dance the night away in the islands best clubs, it worth checking out voucher code sites before you book. Unlike traditional discounts, voucher codes often run for a short period of time but offer a considerable savings with discounts ranging from 10% off your total spend to £20 off bookings – all considerable savings when you’re arranging a whole trip. Currently, sites like VoucherCodes.co.uk are offering some impressive reductions, like a 10% off Hotels.com discount code, a Thompson discount code and a £20 off flight and hotel bookings over £200 Low Cost Holiday promotion code. Keep your eyes peeled as these sites also have hefty discounts on other travel related costs like airport parking, car rental, holiday fashion and tons more. Well worth a look!

2. Flash Sales

First came the internet, then came broadband and then came the flash sale (a modern phenomenon, possible only with the aid of high speed broadband). If you are not yet familiar with the flash sale craze then it’s probably best to think of it like the January sales - on acid! Companies like Lastminute.com, Tablet Hotels and Laterooms will offer huge discounts on everything from hotel rooms, packages, flights and transfers at a set time/date. These sales usually work on allocation, meaning when all the rooms, flights etc are taken – the sale is over. It’s because of the limited number that you have to act very fast in a flash sale, you need to be nimble fingered – a quick mouse clicker. Fighting it out online might not be for the faint hearted, but you can get some unbeatable deals – just make sure you know all the possible dates you can travel as you often need to be flexible.

3. Deal Tracking

We’re all familiar by now with the idea that you can nab a cheap flight by booking months in advance, however if all your friends invite you (last minute) to party in Ibiza and you need a flight asap this can mean parting more cash than necessary. Deal tracking websites like KAYAK allow you to monitor and track recent flight prices using their iPhone and iPad app. Other deal tracking and travel search sites include Skyscanner and Opodo. Monitoring the price of travel allows you to understand what price’s are a good deal and what is not such a good deal. KAYAK allows you to see what other travellers have recently paid for flights and accommodation, allowing you to find similar deals for roughly the same money.
