How to Book a Spectacular Vacation to San Diego and Save a Little Green While You’re at it
San Diego – America’s Finest City
There are lots of great reasons why people come to San Diego; the weather, the beaches, the conventions, the great beer and wine, and much more- but once you’ve decided you’re coming, you’ll need a plan for everything to go smoothly.
Step 1: Travel Arrangement Tips: Getting yourself a good deal on airfare does take a little legwork these days, but one way of thinking about it is that 15 minutes of work could easily save you more than $100… which is a bit like making $400 per hour! Start by planning ahead. Various studies have found that the best airline prices can be found by booking at least seven weeks in advance. For major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas, the sweet spot can be as much as double that time. If you can manage to fly on the less popular days like Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday you’ll not only save yourself some money, but also some hassle at security.
