Travel | The destination of the week and the best advice for the traveler

Every Friday.

"We are creating tools to take advantage of trends and technology and encourage marketing so that more and more tourists are traveling to Argentina." The strategic offer of domestic tourism positions our country in a commercial window and the sale of travel is an opportunity to visualize our destinations and our products, "said the Tourism Secretary of the Nation, Gustavo Santos.

To take advantage of the benefits that appear in the week, there are some issues to consider:

1. Think about possible dates and destinations. Start the search with the calendar of possible dates in which we can take a vacation and also the destinations we would like to know. Being surprised by what seems to sound may seem attractive, but it is not always possible because of the professional obligations that are imposed on the school.

2. Check that the agency is official and activated. Check on the Travel Sale website that the agency chosen to appear there is duly authorized by the National Tourism Secretariat. In fact, you can enter travelsale.com.ar and from there click on the company that interests you. "This ensures that they are qualified agencies," said Martín Romano, spokesperson for Travel Sale and national manager of Atrápalo.

3. Check credit card limits. In addition to thinking about the budget that you are willing to invest in the trip, it is important to know what the limit of credit cards is. This avoids advancing with a purchase process that may have to be canceled at the last moment because it exceeds the limit of the card.

Moreover, with regard to the cards, Matías Mute, co-founder of the Promos Aéreas blog, adds: "The supplement that the cards or the financing of the different banks can offer is very important, we therefore recommend to foresee everything and everything check before, choose or buy. "

4. Documentation required. Some destinations require that the pbadport has a minimum validity of 3 or 6 months, others require a visa and still others, some vaccines or immunizations whose application requires time.

5. Try different combinations. Do not stay with a first search: change the number of days and keep in mind that the most popular days to fly are usually Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. "It's good to consult different agency pages, because they often have different prices for the same destinations and are managed with different combinations of airlines," says Mute.

6. Have price references. Once the dates and destinations are defined, indicate the usual or "normal" rates (excluding promotional days) to be able to compare them to the displayed offers. In this way, we can know if we are really paying less or less. Do not be guided by the discount percentages, but by the prices. If you find a good promotion and the plan is "firm", buy it; Maybe we will not find him later.

7. Conditions of the offer. "Check the terms of the offer and do not let the price guide you, it's not the same as a package including a flight to two or three scales, a direct flight ", warns Romano. Also pay attention to issues such as flexibility with respect to date changes, returns, taxes or fees that include (or not) the price. Keep in mind that in times of economic costs, many economic pbadages are sold without luggage. With luggage is usually another fee.
