WCNC Charlotte shares some ways to break up without breaking the bank.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — If you're packing to head anywhere for a spring break adventure or have other travel plans Consumption offers some tips that can help you save money.
Whether you're flying or boarding a train, be very careful about where you get your tickets.
Booking through third-party ticket websites may offer a discount, but when it comes time for a refund or rebooking, it's usually much more difficult through these sites.
For your own protection, it's probably best to book directly with your preferred supplier.
For those who prefer to take to the skies, don't avoid these early morning flights. Boarding early in the morning reduces your risk of delays or other incidents.
Consumer Affairs also recommends travelers avoid checking a bag whenever possible.
If checking a bag is unavoidable, experts advise taking photos of everything inside the checked bags.
If a bag is lost, these photos can make it easier to file a claim.
