Alfie Watts reveals some travel hacks

Four in 10 consider themselves a ‘travel hacker’ – using tips and tricks to maximise their holidays.

Booking flights to leave on weekdays, packaging hotels and journeys together and using loyalty points for upgrades were some of the top tips according to the 2,000 holidayers polled.

While utilising credit card travel benefits, buying at certain times of day for better deals and using incognito mode for flight searches were other hacks frequently used when planning ahead.

The research, commissioned by Virgin Red, revealed travellers utilise an average of three hacks on a typical holiday, with 57 per cent getting tips from friends and family.
