Saving Money Abroad

Save Money On Holiday – Top 5 Tips

1. Cheap Flights
At Release Travel we believe that customers should find the cheapest flights, and pay for just that. We dont charge a middle-man fee for booking your flights, we let you book your own at the cheapest rates. We are more than happy to assist in helping you to find the best deals around. With less people traveling abroad this year the airline companies are fighting for your business so keep an eye out for the latest deals.

2. Money Exchange
With the euro still at a low rate shopping around for exchange rates can really make a difference. Remember some shops will buy back your currency exchange at the same rate you paid. Also take into account the commission as this can take an appealing rate down to a low rate and don’t leave it till you get to the airport!

3. Cheap Travel UK
If you are traveling by coach or train to your chosen destination then the key is to plan in advance. By booking through advance ticket agencies you can usually slash your ticket prices, sometimes even in half. Leaving you more money in the kitty for your weekend.

4. Credit/Debit Cards
Check with your bank in advance as to the charges abroad for withdrawing and purchasing. The exchange rates and charges vary between banks and sometimes even accounts. Make sure you know what you will be paying before you go to save on hefty bills when you return.

5. Calling Costs abroad
Take five minutes to work out how much those quick texts and calls back will cost you. Look into buying a phone card for the group to share which usually works out a lot cheaper than using your mobile. One of the major mobile networks has slashed roaming charges for this summer, lets see if any of the others follow suit

Ride The Waves…
Nothing can compare to the thrill of riding a Jet Ski. The adrenalin you get from riding the waves at extreme speeds and trying to keep you cool (let alone your grip) is incredible. You can not beat this beach activity this summer, it keeps you chilled but gets your groups excitement going. All our Jet Ski suppliers are safe and good value for money. Available in all beach destinations including Bournemouth, Blackpool and Albufeira.

Cool as Ice
Here is the number one way to cool down in style this summer- The Ice Bar.
Located in Stockholm & London,The Ice Bar is a very unique experience and a must for any stag or hen weekend! For those who haven’t already guessed, everything in the bar is made of Ice – from the glasses you drink from to the bar itself. The guys down at Ice don’t want you freezing yourself so you’re limited to 40 minutes in the bar itself, but that’s ample time to sink a few shots and get some brilliant photos.
