But what about local flights? Are there any hacks that we can apply? Yes! Check in the local currency and language while looking for planes. Use the local language!

And after finding proper flights in a local currency, then exchange currencies. By using this method, you can save hundreds of dollars from local flights when booking flights.
2. Hotel booking
If you find a hotel accommodation that you want to stay at don't reserve it on the web browser without doing a little more research. You can book a hotel in many ways. There are a lot of booking sites, and they offer different prices. You can search among them for a proper booking price. Hotel booking sites charge a fee on the hotel owner, and eventually, you - the guest will pay that amount. Therefore, for cheaper booking, you can cut off the middleman, booking sites, and directly search in hotels' websites, of course, if they have one. However, sometimes, you can take advantage of hotel booking sites. Sometimes, those sites offer membership discounts, and as a result, you can be better off by booking from those sites instead of using hotels' websites.
3. Baggage hack
We know that baggage divides into different categories. In the plane, fragile luggage is kept at the top, and by marking baggage as fragile, you can make it to be released firstly.
4. Airport hack
One departure hack is to take your bottle of water. It depends on the airline's own rules on the price of drinking; the amount of time the drink is given might not be as you want. Getting a bottle of water of yours means that you have water when you want it. Another useful thing can be taking more internet service for your devices, especially when your flights are more than three-four hours. You can do your work, watch your favorite TV shows, prepare some needs, etc. The next hack is to make sure you have a pen before you leave your home so that you can complete the customs form; sometimes, flight attendants do not have it.
5. Arriving hacks
As we mention in part 3, baggage hack, you can save time when you want to take your baggage because your baggage will be at the top, come firstly. Do not convert money in the airport; usually, they add their fees. Using ATMs to get local currency is more efficient than converting money in the airport. ATMs always give out the country's currency, of course, so use your debit or credit card to have your money out. Another thing that you can do when you arrive is shopping for small things like water, snacks. In the hotel, it can be more expensive and increase your spendings. When you're in your cabin, just consider removing the needs from your suitcases.
