Keep Your Itinerary Flexible

When you have favorite destinations, the next and most important step to get best deals for Vietnam travel is to ask yourself "What's fixed and What's flexible?" You should consider which of your traveling options are already set in stone (for example, destination) and which of your options are able to be changed (for example, when you would go, by which transport?).

* Destination

Is there someplace you like and must go in Vietnam such as Hanoi, Nha Trang, Halong, Saigon? And if you go to there, which spots you want to see? Besides, are you just looking for a general vacation? Is there an

activity you are looking for (for example, cruise, sightseeing, golfing)? The more flexible you are with your destination the better deals you will get.

* Time

In travel, it's all about timing. Do you have a set week or month you want to travel to Vietnam? If you travel to Vietnam in the low season from April to September every year you can get save 20-30% off compared with the high season. Let's say you want to cruise in the Mekong Delta, you can see the price of some luxury Mekong cruise as Jayavarman Cruise, Pandaw Cruises, RV La Marguerite Cruise in the high season is about 1.3 to two times higher than the low season. Moreover, if you are planning a trip to Vietnam in the next year compared to the trip this weekend, it will make a difference in cost.

* Last minute booking

Sometime you can get best deals when book tours in the last minute. For example, people usually book Jayavarman Cruise before six months to one year because this is popular Mekong cruise. It's often full and quite difficult to get a cabin. However, some customers can cancel their trip, and these cabins can be offered with better price in the last minute. If you want to get best deals when booking Mekong cruise or Halong cruise you should send a request with flexible departure date as soon as possible to travel agents such as Bestpricetravel.vn, who provide last minute deals so that they put you on the waiting list.

* Transportation

Do you have to take a plane to get to your destination? Alternatively, you get there by bus or train or boat? If you are able to get to your vacation spot by multiple means you will likely get a better ticket price. If you take a plane from Hanoi to Da Nang you have to pay $50 but go by train it just cost $ 20.

* Number of People

If you travel with your family or friends you get the cost less than going alone. And booking Vietnam tours for as many people as better deals you get because you can share hostel rooms and certain transportation.
