Booking your tickets in advance can help you save a lot of money. Now is the time to do your research, and zero in on your preferred destinations. It is better to book directly from the particular airlines’ website. Not only will fares be cheaper, but you can also be wary of changes like flight schedule updations.
Stay Local

When choosing a place of stay, decide between a homestay or a boutique property. These are usually located in remote places away from crowds. These family or privately-run properties usually have special discounts for early bookings.
Plan Properly

With time on your side, take it slow and research wisely. Compare properties, tickets and any other variables for what is more affordable. When you are looking at a destination, create your own itinerary. Skip the usual and go off-the-beaten path on your next holiday by making friends with Google.
Introspect

Take this time to re-assess everything — from where you spend the most on a holiday and how you can curb it going forward (re-analyse your travel food habits and more). Now is the time to introspect and streamline everything. Take this self-quarantine period as an opportunity to spend time with your loved ones, staying indoors and experiencing a more laid-back lifestyle.
