15 Romantic Vacations for Couples That Are Easy on the Wallet

When you think of a romantic vacation, you might imagine holding hands with your partner while wandering the alleyways of Santorini or dining by candlelight on the Amalfi Coast. But a couple's trip doesn't have to be so lavish, nor expensive. There are plenty of places to celebrate your love that you can visit on a modest budget. Whether you're planning your first getaway together, an anniversary trip, a honeymoon, or a sojourn "just because," you can save money on a couple's vacation by choosing less-popular destinations that have great free attractions. Stay flexible on your travel dates, shop for flight deals on sites like Hopper or Skyscanner, and plan a trip during the off-season. You might also want to consider all-inclusive hotels, but only after evaluating what is actually included and how much you would take advantage of the amenities.

The 9 Best Destinations to Make Your Group Trip a Reality

Save Money by Searching for Fewer Seats Than You Need

Booking flights these days can be an expensive endeavor. Consolidation in the industry and reduced capacity has caused airfares to rise, and we've also seen a reduction in the number of seats made available for award tickets. However, there are still some ways to overcome these challenges, and today I want to highlight one in particular: searching for fewer seats than you need. The premise to this strategy is simple. Airlines often limit the number of seats they sell in a given fare class. If you're searching for a flight and the number of tickets you want exceeds that which is available in the lowest fare class, most airlines will automatically bump you into the next class for all of the tickets you're trying to purchase. Even if the difference is just $20, that can add up for a large party.

Southwest Companion Pass: Why You Want It and How to Get It

The Southwest Companion Pass is a much-coveted perk among Southwest loyalists and air travel aficionados. That's because owning the pass is akin to getting a buy-one-get-one deal on your Southwest flight: Every time you buy a flight or redeem points for a free flight, you can choose a companion to fly with you for free — or at least for only the cost of taxes and fees (more on that later). Enjoying a Companion Pass is easy, but earning it can be a challenge. Here's everything you need to know, including how to use Southwest's credit cards to help fast-track you to such a pass.

This Travel Trend Changed How I Vacation With My Family

On the night before Thanksgiving, my family and I pulled up to Villa des Trois Clochers, a five-bedroom estate in Champagne, France. We arrived from a medieval town in Burgundy, where we’d sojourned in a $150-a-night Airbnb—charming, certainly, but a far cry from the three-story stone mansion with light-blue shutters and bright-white Juliette balconies awaiting us in Villers-Allerand. Our palatial digs, built in 1924 and surrounded by vineyards, were halfway between Épernay and Reims, and a 15-minute drive from the Royal Champagne Hotel.

Move Over, Airbnb: Big Hotels Target Group Travel

Companies like Airbnb popularized vacation rentals, but these days it's the big hotel chains that are marketing them. Big hotel brands are adding vacation rental properties to their portfolios, creating new options for large groups, families and extended-stay travelers. For years, home-sharing platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo have been go-to sources for large group travel accommodations. These platforms make it easier to find multi-bedroom rentals. Often, these were more comfortable and cost-effective than spreading across multiple hotel rooms. But in recent years, peer-to-peer home rental sites have drawn scrutiny for high fees and unreliable hosts.
