How to travel almost free, 2019 edition. 🌍✈️

Sharing how I get by with travel deals, travel apps, travel hacks, sponsored travel & travel collaborations to travel for close to nothing.

Y’all ready? Issa thread:

First, let’s talk airlines for close to nothing! Make a note of these low cost airlines:
US: @SouthwestAir @JetBlue @SpiritAirlines
Asia: @AirAsia (bae! they even feed you on short haul) @NokAirlines_ENG
Global: @Fly_Norwegian @wow_air
Europe: @Ryanair @easyJet
Africa: @ArikAir

CHEAP FLIGHTS!

I get soo many q’s on how I find cheap & affordable flights. I’ve done Puerto Rico for £269, Bali £379 return etc. Here’s how...

I use flight comparison sites such as @Skyscanner @KAYAK @momondo & Google flights. I’m not a fan of Expedia as they pricey!

THE CHEAP FLIGHT PLUG ✈️🌍

@skyscanner’s everywhere function is juicy!

This function helps you find the cheapest flights from your home city to anywhere in the world.

Use this flexi function to find flights from £5 within Europe right huuur: bit.ly/2IfipYD

Under 26? See the world for cheap cheap with @SAS using their youth pass!

Fly from Europe to Asia & the U.S. for under £300 (return).

Sweden to Shanghai is currently £284 return this winter - insane!! (make sure you click on the “youth pass”)

For more JUICY FLIGHT DEALS sign up directly to airlines email list or become a member (even if you don’t fly with em’ too often).

Most airlines offer members only flight + hotel deals like this £250 return flight to NYC (from LDN) w/@Fly_Norwegian >>> bit.ly/2SHhj9h

Download @hitlist_app ! Such a babe app for cheap flights & travel deals that work for YOU!

How it works...
Hit where you want to go on the app & they’ll literally alert you when it’s the cheapest time to book!

Also...don’t forget to check @groupon & @TeletextHoliday for saucy cheap & affordable travel deals!

ACCOMMODATION

The @Airbnb referral scheme!!!

When someone signs up using your referral code they’ll get £25 off & you’ll get £15 credit each time >> abnb.me/e/CfZqmWLMjT

I basically accumulate the credit & use it on free accommodation abroad!

@bookingcom kill it with their “book now pay when you arrive” thang! Most hotels also offer free cancellations.

& these guys give you £20 free cash (right into your bank account) when someone uses your referral code (& they’ll get 10% off their booking

Ok let’s talk travel hacks!

When in crazy expensive cities like London make the most of apps that offer freebies & discounts on entertainment, food & drinks.

Here’s a few - Dusk, Cake, Wuntu, Tastecard, Dice, AMEX.

Send through some apps in other countries...

Btw, Uber isn’t the cheapest taxi app everywhere!

Check out these other apps when in...
Asia: @GrabSG
States: @lyft
Africa: @taxifyapp (amazing service in Nigeria & hella’ cheap!)
Europe: Cabify
UAE: @CareemUAE

Paris for free if you’re under 26.

Most museums & landmarks such as The Lourve & Arc De Triomphe provide free entry to EU citizens under 26.

Many Parisian museums offer free entry to everyone on the first Sunday of the month.

Many cities do this too, so ask! 🌍

Offer. Your. Services!! & get paid!👏🏾

Many brands are looking to partner with ordinary people with a well engaged audience. You do not need 100k followers, believe me!

I shared how I landed paid travel over the past year right huuurr: movewithdoyin.com/3121

THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

Don’t always reach out to the big names for collabs. Pitch to startups - you’d be surprised!

We do call outs for creatives & travellers to create with us on our @wctrips in return for sponsored & paid travel so stay tuned!

& to my students who love to travel:

Go on a study abroad scheme, studying in Canada was one of best things I did as a student!

You won’t regret it! (Cont)

The European Erasmus Program still offers students an EU grant (on top of your student loan) to help cover living costs.

You’ll have disposable income to travel lots 👀

Make the most of it before BREXIT. erasmusplus.org.uk

A few extra travel hacks I’ve learnt over the past few years:

- best days to book a flight are Mon & Tues!
- turn off your cookies when searching for flights (use a VPN if you extra)
- travel solo or w/@wctrips !
- fly into major international airports (usually cheaper)

Lastly, once a year, go someplace new. It’ll change your life.
