A SIMPLE TRAVEL HACK TO SAVE TIME + MONEY
One of my favorite ways to fly is taking red eye flights, especially for certain domestic trips since you leave late at night and arrive the next day and this travel hack has saved me tons of money over the years.
Here are five (5) ways I have personally saved time + money by taking red eye flights!
1. Save $$$ on Hotel Stays:
When you arrive in the morning, you can check in early at your hotel vs. flying in late the night before and paying for an extra night! Always put in this early check in request before you arrive, so it is noted on your reservation.
2. Explore More: Taking red eye flights also allows you to spend more time at a destination without the extra costs! You can choose to store your items at the hotel free of charge and spend an entire day exploring at your destination.
3. Save yourself a PTO/Vacation Day: If you are employed, flying to your destination or from your destination on a red eye flight can provide you with some flexibility in your schedule. You can choose to leave overnight instead of taking the day off or return in the morning and hit the ground running!
4. Less Hassle: Sometimes, red eye flights are less hassle. There may be less people at the airport and your flight may not be as packed as it may have been during the day. You can relax and who knows, maybe even upgrade your seat!
5. Cheaper Flights:
Red eye flights may save you some extra money on your flight(s). This is one of my favorite ways to save by taking red eye flights
