Travel Advisor Secrets: 5 Myths That Could Be Costing You Money

Hey there!

Ever stayed up until midnight on a Tuesday, hoping to score that magical flight deal? (raises hand) Yeah, we need to talk about that – and a few other travel myths that might be holding you back from your dream vacation.

Let me spill some real travel tea…

That whole “flights are cheaper on Tuesdays and Thursdays” thing? It’s about as reliable as airport WiFi. Here’s the truth: flight prices dance to the tune of supply and demand, changing by the minute as seats fill up and airlines play their pricing games. I’ve seen Sunday deals that would make your jaw drop and Tuesday prices that would make you cry into your passport.

Pro tip? When you see a good fare that fits your budget, grab it. Don’t torture yourself checking prices for the next three weeks. Book it, don’t look back and start planning the fun stuff instead!

Speaking of things I wish someone had told me sooner…

Remember when we all thought Europe was just for trust fund babies and retirement splurges? I literally used to believe this! But here’s the tea: flights to Paris or Dublin can actually cost less than flying from North Dakota to Florida. (I know, right?!) Whether you’re dreaming of cappuccinos in Rome or castle-hopping in Ireland, there’s a way to make it work for your budget. You just need someone who knows the tricks. (waves hello)

Now, let’s real talk about what could save your vacation:

Your passport? Treat it like it’s your first-born. Just this week alone, I’ve seen:

• A hungry pup turn one into a snack
• Someone take an unexpected pool dive with theirs in their pocket
• A passport almost left behind on a plane (thank goodness for loud-voiced fellow passengers!)

And while we’re sharing truths, let’s talk about travel protection. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard both “Thank goodness I had it!” and “I really wish I had gotten it.” (Ask me about these stories sometime – some are wild!) You can also check out this post to view our top five reasons to purchase travel protection.

One last thing? Pack your patience along with that passport. Travel hiccups happen to everyone (yes, even to us travel pros). But here’s my secret: a deep breath, a good coffee (or beach cocktail), and knowing you’ve got someone to call who can handle it? That’s worth more than all the Tuesday flight deals in the world.

Want to know more about any of these insider tips? Or ready to start planning your own adventure? We’re here to help turn those travel dreams into “can’t believe this is real” moments.

Here’s to your next adventure!

P.S. That passport that almost got left on the plane? The story ends well, but let’s make sure you never end up in that position!
