How can I go overseas at a cheap price, preferably under $900 per pax? Does anyone have any tips and hacks?

Hi anon!

As a dedicated travel freak that's always on the lookout for travel deals, here's my input!

1. Keep your eyes peeled for NATAS Fairs! I've seen $600-750 SQ airfares to Korea and Japan before. If you're open to other airlines then the price would definitely go down. Alternatively, join the airfare Telegram channels! They'll blast promos for various airlines every now and then. Tuesdays are the best days to get your air tickets from Scoot too.

2. DIY/free & easy tours. I would only go for a tour if it's Europe and it's my first time there. Elsewhere, I would gladly DIY my own itinerary. I like the autonomy over planning what i'm doing when i'm traveling + it helps keep costs down as i get to decide which days are budget days & which days are those i would pamper myself with pricier food/attractions/shopping.

3. Read travel blogs and reviews to understand the nitty gritty details that can help you get to your destination when you're traveling free & easy. This also means taking the public transport as much as possible! Exceptions would be when they have cheaper & more convenient traveling options there e.g. tuk tuks in BKK.

4. Use Shopback when you're making your bookings! This applies to your flight, hotel, airbnb, attractions or travel insurance. Cashback helps you save a little and ease the burn in your wallet haha.

5. Agreeing with the other answers below too! Go with airbnbs or hostels if you staying in a hotel isn't your top priority when you're traveling. Also, get a miles credit card to redeem the miles if you're a travel enthusiast!

At the end of the day, it's down to your spending habits when you're traveling. There're plenty of inexpensive food, attractions & shopping available wherever you travel, you just have to do your homework and find them online/in person.

Hi OP,

You can consider a DIY trip instead of going thru an agency, which is possible thanks to the wealth of information available online- Check out wikitravels

On the other hands, you can seek flights that are selling at a discount by following https://www.cheapcheaplah.com/cat/travel or buy tickets off carousell in which people will sell at a discount because they are unable to go.
