If you are comfortable, give Interrailing a go. You pay a single fee to take trains across Europe, exploring countries you might not spend much time in. It's also quite fun.

Browse skyscanner by searching from your local airport to ‘any destination’ then go price low to high.. then you’ve got a cheap flight deal with a place you’ve probably never been to to go and explore!

Don’t book a package. Book separately and you’ll likely save money.

Use price comparison sites but also try booking direct as the hotel may have to their own deals...

Book flights for a Sunday, they tend to be cheaper. Or book for 8 days as it can be cheaper than booking for 7

If you’re on a top floor hotel room and want to bypass all the other floors, try holding the ‘door close’ and your floor button at the same time. It works a treat in some lifts.

 

By putting some fragile tape on your bag, not only should it be handled with care but it will also get placed on the top of the other luggage in the hold and come out first onto the bag collection belt. You might even get a special collection point away from the carousel.

Pack luggage smartly. Place heavier items including toiletries at the bottom then arranged neatly folded clothes vertically.
