A4 I always look for good flights now. Or train. Accommodation can be quite a range and most places have good transport networks. Food/drink is also possible to find at better value. Its usually getting there that costs or has limited options

A4. Definitely private accommodation. I have such a long list of places that I want to visit that I can always cherry-pick the cheapest flights to somewhere I want to visit. But, because I don't fancy hostels, affordable quality accommodation is hard to find!

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone June 2019. It was monsoon season in the South & blistering hot in the North. If I went back, I would rethink the time of year to visit. #pttravel

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @aok_NW A friend once had some Laotian cigars that another friend had brought back. They were beyond hideous. #PTTravel

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 Great prices there. Did you have to sacrifice good flight times or baggage for those prices? #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4: Flights, with no restrictions. Because I would rather spend my money on adventures with people, food, cooking and eating, drinking and parties and fiestas and just generally wandering around seeing what there is to see and do. #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4: I always look for accommodation deals because it doesn't generally bother me where I stay as long as it's clean. I also look out for discounts on activities! Like I recently did the huge zipline in Wales, which is quite expensive but I got a 2 for 1 voucher. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie The flight times were surprisingly good but the Tokyo flight was via Moscow so added on about 3 hours to my journey! #PTTravel

RT @char_x0: @kate_frankie A3) Istanbul, Turkey was one of the most affordable places I've been in recent times! #PTTravel

replying to @DawnCorleone @DawnCorleone Its a great place to go. I've been a few times now #PTTravel

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 @kate_frankie That’s why we do so many European city breaks. Add everything up and they can be significantly cheaper than UK. #PTTravel

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 @kate_frankie A4 #PTTravel If you look around, there's pretty good deals to be had at off-peak times.

replying to @Txiki_Tales @Txiki_Tales @kate_frankie Agreed! It’s cheaper to leave 😂 #PTTravel

A5 #pttravel I haven’t planned anything yet, but I am planning to resume some domestic travel first quarter of next year. I’ll do what I’ve done in the past, check third party sites plus actual corporate web sites for best prices.

A5 #PTTravel Options for the New Year are:
Madeira
Italian lakes and Swiss trains
Fjords/Northern Lights cruise.
We'll decide when we get back from Wales ... maybe restrictions will have eased a little by then, too?
kate_frankie
replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Yes! PCR tests. I'm double vax but would still be required to do a test for most places on return (if not also going). How can the prices range so much? £69-£99 was the general price range but some were much more. Also saw Gov list which quotes £3 for some but where?! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie @NomadKeith £28 for me. Used Expert Medicals twice now with no problems despite the reviews. Wouldn’t pay a penny more for the farce that post entry testing is. Cheapest I’ve seen for proposed Day 2 LFTs is £19. Available from Friday for returns Sunday onwards. I’ll be buying one! #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel Don't quote me, but ^I think* it's PCR outbound and lateral flow after you've been home two weeks. My friend came back from Portugal recently & he said he had PCR before returning ... but it was free.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie Philippines, 6 years ago. Nope, was told about it by a vendor in the market behind my low rent bungalow (was flirting with her to get a better price) she and her husband picked me up (3 on a motorcycle!) I had no choice but to go. It was a great night of the finest kind #pttravel

A6 Research, research and more research. And buy early to lock in some deals. #PTTravel

A6 #pttravel I’d recommend loyalty programs. Follow the basic rules such as book your air 90 days before departure. Be ready to check a lot of websites & don’t wait for the last minute.
