This might sound like a crazy idea because you need to factor in the cost of travel to the airport, but there are many occasions where even with the extra travel included, the airfare combined still comes up cheaper. If you find this is the case, and the saving is enough, then I\u2019d definitely advise going for it. I do this a lot myself, and I tend to factor in a night at an airport hotel, booking through<a href=\"https:\/\/www.airporthotels.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> AirportHotels.com <\/a>for great rates. I\u2019ve stayed at many of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airporthotels.com\/luton-airport-hotels.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Luton Airport hotels<\/a> in a bid to avoid the larger airfares from my smaller, more regional airport, and I\u2019ve managed to save money quite successfully!<\/p><div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9477973674766713\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8885944693\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/510619223.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1115882 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/510619223.jpg\" alt=\"510619223\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another savings area to look towards is being flexible with your travel times and dates. If you\u2019re set on <a href=\"https:\/\/tripatlas.com\/new\/places-that-show-the-best-colors-autumn-has-to-offer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travelling<\/a> at the weekend then you\u2019re going to generally pay more, but if you can travel on a Monday to Thursday, then you might find cheaper fares. The same can be said for day flights and night flights, in that day flights are generally pricier when compared to night-time. This is obviously because of the convenience of a day flight, but if you can put up with a little disruption to your sleep for one night, you could save money here.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The key is to think outside of the box just slightly, and if you can mix up your travel plans a little too, you will end up saving money compared to being rigid with your plans. You need to remember that any money you can save on the logistical side of your break will give you more to spend when you arrive, which equals more enjoyment, more excursions to get out and explore, and you will gain more out of your holiday as a result.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Flexibility is key!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Article Submitted By Community Writer    \t<\/p>\n<div class=\"3a64bb57635b757d04b12bcf0c14b9a3\" data-index=\"3\" style=\"float: none;
