When it comes to travelling for a holiday or for work purposes, it often pays to book in advance. Many companies offer substantial discounts to customers who book their travel in advance and this can knock a huge chunk off any trip.
If you are travelling by train then it is worth checking the ticket prices and also if you are flexible on the dates you can travel, look at prices for other days too as soften certain days are cheaper than others.
If you are travelling by air, then again look to see which airport along with which dates will give you the best price. Travelling to and from the airport, also called transfers, can be expensive. Many holiday tour operators offer a coach to take you to your resort once you have arrived at your destination but if you would rather have your own private transport such as a taxi, book in advance rather than relying on the often expensive black cabs that wait outside.
Some companies also offer discount to group bookings, so if there is a few of you travelling you may want to book altogether to see if you can save a bit of money.
