2.- Visit the agencies' websites. Often, they have different prices for the same destinations and are managed with different combinations of airlines.

3.- The strategy of low cost economic flights. These airlines usually work in collaboration with the agencies. A combination can be a good choice for finding promotions. "What needs to be taken into account in these cases are the different services that are not included, such as luggage," said Mute.

4.- Check the accumulated miles. In some cases, the rest can be exchanged or bought to reach the destination or reach another origin where the price is cheaper.

5.- Be flexible with dates. Experts recommend avoiding long weekends, where hotel values ​​skyrocket. Be flexible with the day of departure and arrival and the airport also helps to find more alternatives to reduce costs, recommended by Avantrip.
