There’s no place like home for the holidays, as the old song says. But getting home sometimes costs serious money. With these budget travel tips, you can spend less on holiday travel—so you’ve got more in your wallet once you reach your destination.

Budget Travel Tips for the Holidays

1. Create a travel checklist. Our first budget travel tip is all about being prepared! It’s way easier to save money on your trip if you plan ahead by making a travel checklist. Write out everything you need to do, pack, buy, reserve—and everyone you need to coordinate with to make sure the trip runs smoothly and stays on budget. 2. Budget for all travel expenses. Use your travel checklist to see how much you need to spend on the trip (or trips). Then—this is so important—put these holiday expenses in the budget! This is how you go from having good intentions to being intentional with your money. 3. Adjust the budget. So, you’ve got all the holiday travel expenses in your budget now. Sadly, that extra money won’t just show up in your stocking, no matter how much care you use to hang it by the chimney.
