Hello, From The Pineapple Team!
TIPS OF TRAVELLING CHEAPER
- Compare prices on your favourite flight comparison websites to get a general price for your flight.
- Head over to JustFly to check if they have any discounted flights for your route.
- Find your accommodation. We use booking.com for Europe and America whilst Agoda often offers better deals for Asia. If you are thinking of staying in hostels, Hostelworld has thorough listings of the different options for you but double-check that prices aren’t cheaper on Agoda.
- Budget in advance. We have a collection of cost of travel posts that can help you plan your trip but check out attraction websites to help you make a helpful, accurate budget for your trip.
- Slow travel. When possible, choose to travel slowly and take slower routes such as buses and trains overflights. This is often cheaper but also gives you more time to appreciate and learn more about your destination.
- Browse the internet to see if your chosen destination as a travel card or Explorer card. We love the city passes that include hop-on-hop-off buses, especially if we are only in a city for a few days.
- Browse the free tours available for your chosen destination; you will be surprised at how many walking tours are free or how many free or cheap audio tours you can find on the app store.

This European country is a popular destination, with Prague becoming a fantastic summer and winter destination. Prague at Christmas is amazing! The lights and markets just transform the city to something magical and beautiful.

It is a great idea to rent an apartment from Airbnb, especially if you choose to stay on the outskirts of the city – you can get whole apartments from 900 CZK a night.
