Travel doesn’t have to be expensive. You simply have to be savvy when making decisions and make the most of the available resources, including discounts and special deals. So it’s all about how to maximise your travel budget. Let’s look at some ways to get the most out of your travel budget and make your next trip more affordable. You won’t have to choose between saving money and travelling in ultimate comfort.

Plan ahead to secure the best deals

One of the easiest ways to save money while travelling is to plan your journey in advance. Quite often, booking well before you set off will help you benefit from cheaper fares. Many transport companies provide discounts for early booking, whether it’s trains, flights, or bus tickets. For example, advance train tickets are likely to be available at cheaper rates than those bought last minute.

Take advantage of travel passes and discount cards

There are a lot of discount cards in the UK that offer discounted train tickets and/or bus and attraction prices for their holders. The National Railcard is particularly popular with travellers as it offers a third off most train fares nationwide. If you often make trips, then you can also save money with specific travel passes which offer unlimited access to a mode of transport for one fixed cost.

Explore alternative routes and modes of transport

The shortest route isn’t always necessarily the cheapest. It may be the case that choosing an alternative mode of transport could help you reap the rewards of better rates. Sometimes, coaches and trains can be more affordable (this, of course, depends on the carrier and the route) and more comfortable than travelling by air. This is especially true if you’re planning on going short distances. You can save even more on your overall travel budget by using additional options or combining different modes of transport.

Smart savings when travelling by rail

Travelling by train is one of the most popular ways to get from one part of the country to another. However, the costs of tickets can quickly add up if you’re not savvy about how and when you book. To make sure you don’t overshoot your budget, look out for discounts and offers and compare ticket prices. It’s not uncommon for tickets to cost less overall when each leg of the journey is booked separately.

If you are interested in saving money on trains, using services like Split My Fare is one of the quickest and most reliable ways to do so. You split the journey and tickets, which is sometimes cheaper than purchasing a single fare.

Travel during off-peak hours

Book your journey during the off-peak hours. The price of your ticket is going to vary depending on the time that you travel. In most cases, trains during a weekday and not within the rush hour are cheaper than when commuters are on their way to or from work. So if you can book in the early hours of the morning or late at night, you will be more likely to grab a cheaper fare.

Keep an eye on special promotions and offers

Special features and discounted tickets are offered throughout different times of the year. This means you won’t have to wait around to find a cheaper deal. Offers like train line reductions, cheap season tickets, festival discount tickets, and cheap day trains are highlighted during certain seasons of the year. These fare reductions cannot always be expected, but subscribe to your chosen company and keep an eye on political events.

By combining the plans mentioned, predicting the future, knowing where to find cheap tickets, booking a year in advance, splitting your tickets, and asking questions, travelling becomes simpler and easier on your pocket.

None of us like seeing our beloved pets in discomfort. Whether they’re barking or howling out of fear, or shaking under the bed to feel safer, it puts strain and worry on pet parents. 51 per cent of pet owners say they feel anxious in the lead up to Bonfire night. It can be one of the most stressful times of the year for pet mums and dads.

In fact, an entire 85 per cent of pet pawrents can’t help but remember the 5th of November, as they have to sit tight and comfort their scared pet. The most popular way to provide comfort being letting a pet sleep on your bed.

How can you make it better for them?

Making their favourite meal, playing classical music, choosing some calming mood lighting, and playing spa music are also popular tactics for calming petrified pups and terrified tabbies. One in twenty have also admitted to requesting neighbours refrain from setting off fireworks in a bid to reduce their pet’s stress. As a whopping 64 per cent of animals experience stress caused by private displays.

Top ways British pawrents soothe their pets on fireworks night:

1. Let them sleep in my bed – 36%
2. Give them special treats – 30%
3. Play classical music – 22%
4. Make their favourite meal – 19%
5. Use mood lighting – 14%
6. Give a doggy/kitty massage – 10%
7. Play spa music – 9%
8. Create a chill out playlist – 9%
9. Let them watch animal videos on YouTube – 8%
10. Play soothing sounds like whale song – 7%

Data has shown that on average, it has been seven years since some pet owners last went to a fireworks display. Taking the magic out of special occasions like Bonfire night and Diwali, as they have to stay in.

Babs the corgi’s pet parent, Doug McPherson, said “What makes this time of year especially difficult as a pet owner is all the different celebrations happening throughout the month, so fireworks could go off on any given night during this period. As a result, I’ve had to cancel a lot of plans at this time of year. I’m sad to miss out on these celebrations.”

So how about a free dinner – courtesy of Just Eat?!

We’ve got something to take the sting out of having to stay in. Cancelling plans and missing out on the celebrations is never ideal. So, if you are planning to sit in with a glass of wine and your favourite snacks, you can also take cooking out of the equation and get a takeaway through Just Eat, with their free voucher.

On Tuesday 5 November 2024 only, open up your Just Eat app and type ‘PAW ME’ into the chat box to bag your £15 off voucher. But act quick! As there’s only a limited amount to hand out.
