General Tips:
1. Take your student ID with you
Always take your international student ID with you. However, you will not automatically receive this student ID, you have to register for it. You can easily apply for your international student ID online at ISIC, for example. With the ID you can not only go to museums and other sightseeing spots at a reduced price, but also receive discounts on many flights, other means of transport and many more leisure activities. We think it’s definitely worth it!
2. Avoid high season
Summer in the sun. Sure, that’s really nice, but unfortunately also correspondingly expensive. Try to avoid high seasons as much as possible, because in the low season your dream vacation spot is just as beautiful, but a lot cheaper and also not so crowded! Especially as a student, it is advisable to use your semester or easter holidays for vacations, as you don’t have many obligations to which you are bound to yet.
3. Red Eye flights
A red eye is a night flight, which means getting up early and landing at sunrise. For many travelers this is not an option, so you can often find Red Eye flights at a very affordable price! We strongly recommend that you compare the prices before you decide on a flight, no matter what time.
4. Unknown travel destinations
Ibiza, Mallorca, Crete or Dubai. These are the travel destinations that we will see in many Instagram posts this summer and rightly so – they are beautiful after all! But for everyone who wants to book a cheap holiday, we recommend destinations far away from mass tourism, as these are simply cheaper!
