Flight Search Engines

Kayak

Kayak is our go to when it comes to searching for cheap flights. Whatever your destination is (well apart from Socotra) you’ll find good deals there.

Skyscanner

We use Skyscanner to double check for cheap flight after we started the search on Kayak as those two sometimes different slightly.

Where to stay

Our Go-To Accommodation Platforms

Booking.com

We use Booking.com most of the time. It offers great deals, a wide selection, and easy booking. With flexible cancellation policies and reliable reviews, we can travel stress-free, knowing we have the perfect stay secured.

Vrbo

Vrbo is new to our booking routine but loving it already. Great alternative to Airbnb.

Pro Tip:

Book your accommodation in advance to lock in the best prices, but always choose a place with free cancellation. This way, you stay flexible and can grab better deals if they pop up later!

Booking an Excursion or tours?

Here’s Where We Book My Tours!

Get Your Guide

We use GetYourGuide to book any tours during our trips because it offers a wide range of activities with verified reviews. It is a super easy to use platform which makes booking tours and experiences really convenient.

Viator

Viator is another great platform for booking activities. It has a rewards programme where you’ll earn reward point/money after your experience to use on your next trip. They also have flexible cancellation which is great as we all know, plans change!

How to get around

Transportation Recommendations

Kayak

You can tell we’re big fans of Kayak but you would also be if one page had so many great deals. It is no different with car rental. We’ve been using them to find the best deals when hiring a car both in UK and abroad.

Booking

We only booked a car from Booking.com few times. Usually when it is paired with booking accommodation with them and you can get a good deal sometimes for both.

Hit the road and rent a car worry free!
