Look for the cheapest flights

Even that prices in airline companies are very reasonable, we always have a chance to pay enen less for the same flight.

Another option for savings is luggage. For only weekend long journey you don’t need to take plenty of items. That is why you shouldn’t buy registered bagagge, carry-on option should be enough for you. But remember, free of charge bag is going on board with you, so it cannot contains dangerous materials. Make sure that any object with shar edges is not in your bag, like scissors or knife for example. Also, you don’t need to buy a travel insurance, even if suggested. It will only protect your money if you will like to miss the trip.
