“The prices of flights and hotels can drop quite significantly this time of year,” says Laura Carden-Lovell, travel expert and head of operations at England-based travel resale marketplace Transfer Travel. However, she encourages off-peak travellers to also factor in additional costs that can quickly mount up. “It’s important to also think about transportation within the city you want to visit and to find out how much this might cost,” recommends Carden-Lovell.

You don't need a travel agent or a secret code to get a better rate on the room you already want. These small, free habits shave real money off your stay without changing where you sleep.
It pulls rates from dozens of booking sites side by side so you can see the cheapest option for the exact same room in seconds. No account needed, no signup, just open it and compare.
Set one for your dates and hotel, and the app pings you if the rate drops before you book. It takes thirty seconds to set up and costs nothing, though you'll still need to act when the alert fires.
Signing up for a chain's free tier often unlocks a member-only rate that isn't shown to the general public. You get the same room, same bed, just a lower number on the invoice.
A Tuesday check-in can be noticeably cheaper than a Friday for the identical room. It costs you nothing but a glance at the calendar, and the savings add up over a long trip.
After you find a price online, a quick phone call to the front desk sometimes earns a match or a small perk like free breakfast. Staff can't always beat the OTA rate, but they can often add value at no extra charge.
If your plans are flexible, this free app lists unsold rooms at a steep discount a few hours before check-in. It works best when you're already in the city and can walk to the hotel.
Some booking sites price rooms differently depending on the currency your browser displays. Switching your search currency before you hit search can reveal a lower rate for the same room, though exchange fees may eat into the gain.
