Travel Hack Of the Day

Turn on ‘Private Browsing’ for cheaper flights online

Airlines and travel sites can record your visits by installing cookies on your browser, which can cause the prices you’re shown to rise simply because you’ve searched for those flights before. This is to trick you into buying your flights sooner and encourage impulse buying, the cheeky beggars! Avoid it by switching to ‘Private Browsing’ whenever you book flights.

Roll your clothes for more space.

a lot of people don’t know this but by rolling your clothing up, you can fit a lot more in one suitcase/bag so you don’t have travel with a lot of bags. No one like to pay that $35 luggage fee at the airport.

Google Translate is god sent in a foreign country

A language barrier can put a damper on the best of spirits, so if you know the international country you’re traveling to uses a foreign language to communicate, do yourself a favour and download Google Translate. It lets you take photos of text in a different language and translate what it means in real time. Just like Google Maps, Google Translate works in airplane mode too.
