Travel Costs Made Simple

Travel can feel pricey, but a few smart moves drop the bill fast.

Knowing these helps you compare true costs across hotels.

If you’re stuck overnight at an airport, the "Where to Sleep in an Airport" guide lists free lounge areas, quiet corners, and even comfy pods that cost less than a cheap hotel room. It also gives safety tips so you can rest easy without breaking your budget.

For families, the "Family of 4 Stay in One Hotel Room" piece breaks down room size limits, extra‑bed costs and tricks to keep everyone comfortable without booking two rooms. A quick read can save you hundreds on a short vacation.
