Pros And Cons Of Traveling Cheap To India
Posted on | December 29, 2009 | 9 Comments
For a long time, India has been one of the premier destinations for traveling. With rich culture and magnificence, it would offer you many places to see. And going there to experience the place would not cost you so much especially when you decide to travel cheap. But traveling cheap has its own cost. Here are the pros and cons when you decide to travel cheap to India:
Pros
1. When you are India, luxury is not always wise. That is why when you travel cheap you don’t need to wear extravagant clothing. You don’t need to invest on your clothing for a visit in the country. Simple clothes are enough for you to survive India. Be mindful of the culture. Make sure you respect it by wearing discreet clothing.
2. When you travel cheap to India, you can eat anywhere you can. Prices are relatively low in this country. Aside from this, you can try the real local taste of foods without spending much.
3. India could be dangerous to those who don’t know how to mingle. And to mingle means to be simple. And to be simple means to travel cheap while carrying enough money for the day and carrying it without the use of the typical wallet you put on your pockets. Wander the streets in a way you don’t have to show your fortune, and since you travel cheap, you don’t have much to show off.
4. Since you don’t have to carry much if you travel cheap, you don’t have much to worry about. But still, never ever leave your things unattended. There is a great chance it will get lost.
5. You can experience India’s culture, history, and religion while staying at your target budget. You can visit their place of worship (mosque or temple) and know their background for free. Be mindful though not to violate any rules while on these sites. Do not act negatively or that might offend their culture.
6. Prices in India are much cheaper than in other countries especially in Europe and Americas. You can get what you want and all you need without spending much.
Cons
1. The flight from the United State to India would take several hours. When you buy coach plane ticket which is cheaper compared to first class and business class, inconvenience might set in while on the plane.
2. India is a big country with lots of sights to offer. If you travel cheap you might not be able see all of those.
3. Food may be another issue if you decided to travel cheap to India. Although the prices are a lot cheaper on ordinary restaurants than on hotels, you might not get the type of food you prefer. Indian food is different.
4. Accommodation might be an issue if you decided to travel cheap to India. If you cannot stand the hotels that are not first class, settling for small, simple and cheap hotels may become a struggle.
These things will not only let you decide how to get to India but also guide you how to act when you are in the country. With a little care and precaution, no matter how much you have prepared, traveling at India will bring you many good experiences and social awareness.

1. Encashing frequent flyer miles is one of my favorite methods to get discount air tickets on subsequent purchases.
2. Online travel services like Orbitz, Travelocity and BookingBuddy allow customers to choose selected flights whenever deeper discounts become available. Other services such as Priceline may allow customers to bid for lower price airline tickets, but they can also require immediate purchase of those tickets or a much more flexible schedule.
3. If you belong to an auto club, or to Sam’s Club or Costco, it is helpful to compare rates there too. Companies like AAA or Costco sometimes offer the best prices for plane tickets online or offline.
4. A travel agency is a time-tested source for discount air tickets. Here the agent can negotiate a package deal to lower the price of airline tickets as long as a specific hotel or car rental is booked.
5. A major airline sometimes uses discounts to encourage the use of its low-price commuter service. Occasionally airlines compete for business through 'fare wars', which may lower the price of tickets by as much as 40%.
The key is to look out for those little-known ways you can travel for cheap without having to forgo the 'luxuries'.

You don't really have much of a choice for domestic air travel in Vietnam, either Pacific Airlines or Vietnam Airlines are your best (and only) options. Air Asia, a large budget airline in Asia is planning on beginning domestic service in the future, but it's still a ways off, but that should help to bring down the costs and provide more options, but for now there isn't much of a choice. You can check online, but is easily arranged once you get to Saigon.

For the purposes of buying airline tickets, those kids are considered adults. You did not indicate your origin or destination city but check the following sites:
southwest.com
jetblue.com
orbitz.com
kayak.com

cheaptickets.com…. travelocity.com…. expedia.com..the old standby, priceline.com
CAREFUL… cheap means no changes or you pay huge fees to adjust your travel days! Make real sure the schedule you're buying is one you can actually use…

Try Expedia.com . I fly to Europe several times a year and they usually have the lowest prices when I'm looking. Other things you can do to get a lower price…try to fly between Tuesday and Thursday. Weekends are higher. Avoid traveling near a major holiday, if possible. Search for tickets at any time of day if you can be flexible. Certain times of day are more expensive than others. Are you heading to a particular city in Europe or just anywhere cheap? London often has very good flight prices but it's expensive once you get there. There are some budget carriers in Europe that you might be able to use if you are planning to travel around after you arrive. Check out http://www.ryanair.com , http://www.easyjet.com and http://www.bmibaby.com These might allow you to fly to whatever European city you find good fares to and then cheaply move to another location. It's often cheaper that way than booking a US carrier into a less-traveled destination.
