Savvy Savings Guru

TRAVEL SMART. SPEND LESS. EXPLORE MORE!

Using airline, hotel and credit card points & miles is a smart way to save money and enhance your travel experiences. Many credit cards offer generous sign-up bonuses and ongoing rewards that can be transferred to travel partners, allowing you to book flights and hotel stays for a FRACTION of the cost - or even for FREE!

Airline frequent flyer programs let you earn miles by flying or through everyday purchases, which can later be redeemed for flights, upgrades, or other travel perks. Similarly, hotel loyalty programs reward you with points that can be used for free nights, room upgrades or elite status benefits.

By strategically earning and redeeming these points and miles, savvy travelers can unlock significant value and enjoy luxury travel experiences at a reduced cost.

- Packing efficiently: What to bring and what NOT to bring

- Hidden gems

- Find the best local transportation

Packing efficiently

Smart packing, smooth moving. What to bring and what NOT to bring...

Best ways to pack:
- Packing cubes (Sold on Amazon)
They come in all sizes!
(Great for families. Each can have
a different color)
Luggage is organized and the
cubes make it easy to put into
hotel dressers

- Long haul flights
I have 3 pouches in my personal
item or carry-on (whichever you
put under your seat for easy
access.
1. Tech bag (Chargers, AirPods,
power bank)
2. Snack bag (Protein bars, gum or
mints, liquid IV or similar)
3. Toiletry bag (Includes travel size
toothpaste, contact lens
solution, hand lotion,
deodorant, etc.

- Shower Caps - Use for your shoes.
Keeps everything clean in your
suitcase and you can see which
shoes you brought.

- What NOT to bring

A shoe in every color. Plan your
clothing in advance. Try to select
3 colors (ex. white/tan, black and
blue). Then add tops to match
each color.
Don't overload on jewelry. It can
add weight. Airlines are getting
strict on luggage weight.

Vitamins - No need to bring bottles. Put them in snack bags and when done, throw out the bags. More room for souvenirs!
