Pack less and fill every corner, shoe, etc. in even the smallest hand luggage allowance so you don't have to pay for cabin or checked baggage. Remember to fill your jacket pockets!

Holiday swapping - book holiday that allows cancellation up to 7 days before departure. Then keep watching for price drops. If you see a considerable price drop, cancel your booking and rebook the lower price. Of course, don’t forget your smarty data sim!
