Traveling can be expensive, especially during these times. I’ve been monitoring flights prices for the past five months and the costs have doubled since my previous trips. For example, my trip to Barcelona used to cost around $600 and my trip to Belize only cost $300. With prices now up to $1400 for Barcelona and almost $700 for Belize, it’s hard to get anywhere without breaking the bank.
I’m fortunate and grateful for the privilege to travel and if something were to happen tomorrow and I’d never travel again, I can live knowing I got to see some of the world. But now I have a significant other and some teenagers that I want to share my love of travel with, and it’s just so expensive. I’m thankful that I have my credit card points to help me out. I have a Capital One Venture and just received a Capital One Venture X (even with the $400 annual fee). This has allowed me to use my points for flights and it’s been a real help. This year, my credit card points allowed for a ticket to Jamaica, Arizona, Cancun, and South Florida.
If you’re looking for ways to make travel more affordable, consider using credit card points and miles. They can really make a difference when it comes to the cost of flights. Another thing to consider is to look at flights to other European cities and then catching a cheap flight to Barcelona from there. This can help to save some money and make your trip more affordable.
Traveling doesn’t have to be expensive, but it’s important to be mindful of the cost. Credit card points and miles can be a great way to make travel more affordable. Additionally, looking at flights to other cities and then catching a cheap flight can be a great way to save some money. At the end of the day, travel can be an amazing experience and if you’re mindful of the cost, you can make it happen.
