Low cost tour operators - Wikivoyage, the free collaborative travel and tourism guide - Voyagistes à bas prix — Wikivoyage, le guide de voyage et de tourisme collaboratif gratuit

On the Internet you will be able to find many agencies, say online, which will offer you to find on their sites plane tickets, to book a hotel, to find a cruise, a stay ... best prices on the web, but make no mistake, the argument is above all commercial! It is true that all these agencies offer fairly similar prices, but sometimes it does not take much to be a winner .

If we therefore assume that all tour operators say themselves a priori at low price, how and where to find real good deals on the Internet ??

Search engines

Many of you will use Google and stick to only the suggested results, having blind faith in the relevance of the search engine responses.

  • Make no mistake, however: On the one hand you will find in the most visible links (top and right boxes): links that are called sponsored, ads what !! If these appear on your google search for "cheap vacations", make no mistake, you will not necessarily come across the best rates with these agencies.
  • On the other hand, the so-called "natural" results, therefore not advertised, are not necessarily a guarantee of quality, nor of low prices (if this is your request), because the travel sector is so important, it is necessary all the same to say that the sites that often appear at the top of search engine results are cybersquatting sites. To explain quickly: in promising sectors like this, many webmasters create small sites, affiliated with larger ones (those who often advertise), and by various techniques manage to squat the results of search engines .

How to do ?

On the one hand the best is to go through here to get information, that's for sure!

Alternatively, we can advise you on price comparators: Price comparators query the databases of almost all tour operators in real time in order to find the lowest rates for your vacation for you. They also often offer you options to classify the results offered or even to eliminate, for example, a provider from the list because you have already had a bad experience.

Others

Companies low cost : Airlines Low Cost offer minimal service and this is what allows them to offer tickets at very attractive prices. (Ex: Deposit of checked baggage and meals on board not included in the price of the plane ticket).

Last minute bookings: Some last minute bookings offer significant discounts

Early bookings: Booking very early also allows you to have advantageous reductions

Private-sales: These allow you to obtain interesting promotions
