Would You Fly on an Electric Plane? United Is Betting on It

While electric cars are becoming more common these days, the idea of flying through the air in an electric powered airplane as a commercial passenger still hasn’t taken off (pun intended). However, it appears we may be getting closer than ever to commercially operated electric flights.

Spanish Immersion Retreats are BACK in Mexico

Hi Mexico-loving friends, I have a last-minute deal for those of you that are itching to get back to Mexico, but would prefer something organized and immersive. Español con Zaloa is a fantastic Spanish-language program that focuses not only on teaching you Spanish, but also teaching you about the Mexican culture, food, and history. The retreat will be from the 6th of September to the 10th of September 2021. I know it's a little bit short notice, but with how often things are changing in the world at the moment, they wanted to make sure it would be possible that it could take place safely before going ahead with it. You can read about what safety precautions they will be taking for those that take part here. The five-day retreat includes daily Spanish lessons with a native speaker. They also include daily immersion activities like Salsa classes, Talavera pottery-making lessons, cooking classes, and tours around Cholula's historical area. The retreat costs $750 USD, but for the next few days, you can use the code ETERNAL10 to get 10% off the experience, making it $675! Read more about the retreat, download the pdf itinerary, and book your spot here. The retreat is best for beginner and intermediate Spanish speakers. Hotel rooms are shared between two people, and if you book with a friend you both save even more (then it's only $585 each!)! If you have any other questions about the retreat, please direct them to the organizer, Nayelli and her team through the website. While you're in Cholula, be sure to stop into Puebla for a few days to explore and to eat pastor tacos from Las Ranas. They are truly the best there is! Safe travels, Laura

10 Cool Travel Hacks for Solo Travelers

10 Cool Travel Hacks for Solo Travelers There are many easy travel hacks you can implement to make your solo trip more enjoyable. Here are just a few. Read More

As anyone who’s gotten out of their comfort zone can tell you, taking a trip alone can be a life-changing and thrilling way to experience a new destination. Solo travel continues to grow in popularity. There are many easy travel hacks you can implement to make your solo trip more enjoyable. Here are just a few.

Don’t Check a Bag
Aside from saving you money and avoiding luggage fees, the lighter you travel the more free you’ll feel. All you need to be nimble and safe is a travel backpack and (if you must) a day pack. Don’t take our word for it. Look around the Internet – seasoned travelers skip the checked bags. You’ll move more quickly through the airport (no baggage claim for you) and get your vacation started faster. And if you don’t check a bag, the airlines can’t lose your bag. Simple!

Skip Restaurants (mostly)
Sure, you’ll want to splash out here and there on a dinner – and if you’re a gourmand in Italy or France you might have specific dining establishments on your must-do list. But – for the rest of us – you can get just as much of a f eel for a city by dipping into their groceries. You’ll also get a real “do as the Romans do” vibe by grabbing a bottle of wine, some bread and cheese – and then heading to a popular park. You can’t go wrong and you’ll save so much on your budget!

Keep Your Destination Airport Flexible
When planning a multi-country trip, a lot of people make the obvious choice and fly into London’s Heathrow or Paris’ Charles de Galle airports. Sometimes this can get you the cheapest airfare, but it’s always worth looking into other airports. If you don’t need to be in one city by a specific date, you’re better served by being flexible on the inbound and outbound flights home and piecing together local flights for the rest of your itinerary. Which leads to our next point…

Use Local, Low-Cost Airlines When it Makes Sense
Sure – if you’re flying to Europe in the height of summer, you might feel more comfortable mapping out the whole trip before you leave home and paying for all of your flights in advance. You can also save money by using local, low-cost airlines to get you around the continent once you’re on the ground. It also gives you greater flexibility. If you make some friends in Barcelona and decide to go with them to a festival in Croatia, it’s much easier to make that plan happen if you haven’t already bought a flight to Finland on those dates.

Take the Free City Tour
Most of the time, a free city tour is a great way to get the lay of the land absolutely free! The local guides are generally extremely knowledgeable, and can help you orient yourself quickly, especially when you have limited time in a new destination. One caveat – tip your guide well! They depend on tips and it’s just good manners.

Sleep on the Train
To save on accommodation costs, you can kill two birds with one stone and take a night train, flight or bus ride. No need to pay for a hotel, and it gets you from point A to point B while you snooze.

Leverage Your Local Contacts for a Place to Stay
The ultimate cheap place to stay is with friends or friends of friends. If you’re on a tight budget, this is the best solution. Barring a free place to stay, many hostels now offer private or semi-private rooms so you don’t have to find yourself in a dorm room. They even have family rooms in many hostels. You may not have an en suite bathroom, but you’ll almost always get breakfast included and a diverse, convivial crowd of folks with which to dine.

Pass on Seat Selection
Another perk of solo budget travel – if you don’t have a travel buddy you can skip paying extra for a specific seat on the plane. Buy the discount fare and save the “seat” money for a different use.

Make the Most of Layovers
When faced with a daunting long layover, lean into that business and make a fun day trip out of it. For example, if I’m traveling somewhere and I know I have a minimum of a 6 layover, sometimes I look for an overnight or a longer layover in that city. Especially if it’s somewhere I haven’t been before, it’s a chance for another adventure.

Search Often for Flights
CheapAir.com has a great tool on our site called My Searches. In My Searches you can see which searches you’ve done in the past and keep track of your flight research in one simple place.

One more thing you should know. When you book a flight with CheapAir, you have a bit of price protection built in with our Price Drop Payback feature. After you book, if your flight goes down we will give you a credit for future travel. In this way, you can purchase with peace of mind.

Happy travels!
