Whether you already have a destination in mind or are still reminiscing about your last trip, we’ve got some budget-friendly ideas to get you thinking.
Flight Deals to Europe and North America Expected to Drop
According to Flight Centre chief executive Graham Turner, prices to Europe and North America are expected to come down this year. However, he cautions that travelers shouldn’t expect pre-COVID prices due to inflation and the passage of time. Nevertheless, there are still bargains to be found if you book early. For example, London flights with China Southern are currently priced at around $1400 for June, which is peak season.
Biggest Cruise Ship Ever Set to Sail in 2024
If cruising is more your style, 2024 will see the launch of the biggest ship ever, Icon of the Seas. Norwegian Cruise Lines is offering 50% off their entire cruise selection for 2024, while Celebrity Cruises has a 75% discount for the second passenger. Virgin Voyages, the new player in the industry, is offering cruises starting from $149 per night per person.
Gold Coast Still a Crowd Favorite for Local Trips
If you prefer to stay closer to home, the Gold Coast remains a crowd favorite. Quentin Long from Australian Traveller suggests staying at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast for five nights at a discounted rate of $1099 for two people, which is a 50% saving.
Caravanning: The Affordable Holiday Option
For those looking for a more affordable holiday option, caravanning is becoming increasingly popular. The Dougherty family has been enjoying caravanning holidays on the Central Coast for years, finding that it offers great value for money compared to hotel stays. Rob ‘The Duck’ Smith, host of The Caravan and Off Road Radio Show, agrees and suggests using technology and apps like Hip Camp to find cheap camping spots for as little as $20 per night.
