How To Plan The Perfect Fall Trip

Fall is a great season to travel with friends and/or family, which is why we decided to help you plan the perfect fall trip. Planning a fall vacation can be stressful or easy depending on where and when you look. It can be even more stressful if you are working with many schedules other than your own.

The more people you bring on the trip, the more stressful it can be to plan. For this reason, we hope these few suggestions can help you plan the perfect fall trip this season.

1. Look At Everyone’s Schedule

If this fall trip involves bringing along a friend or a group of friends, you should get everyone together to see each others’ schedule. This means looking at when are available to go on vacation. For example, some students might have a fall break one week, while your other friends have it on a different week.

Always look to see if everyone has the same amount of time off, and the same days off. It is much easier commuting together to your vacation destination, and back home.

2. Where & When

Planning a fall trip means knowing where you are going and for how long. If this is linked to a budget, then filter the amount you are willing to spend on websites such as Trivago, and Kayak. If you are a group of students who simply want to lounge around, then an all-inclusive vacation is the best option. You can easily find one on any travel website.

They include your air fare and transportation between the airport and hotel within the package. You can easily relax next to the pool or on the beach while enjoying all you can eat buffets and unlimited alcohol. The duration of your stay/ package deal will depend on your budget. If you like adventure and want to explore cities, you could book a hotel for a few nights and explore the city of your choice. 

3. Book Ahead

A key suggestion for planning your fall trip is to book both of your airplane tickets before you leave your house. Today, airlines allow you to book your plane ticket coming home in advance. It is much safer and secure for you to book both plane tickets at the same time. Nowadays there are so many incidents at the airport where people are left on stand-by because they didn’t plan ahead.

At the same time, people might not feel secure booking their plane ticket home over the hotel public wifi. You will also save yourself from having to stand in long lines to buy a ticket at the airport. With a pre-bought ticket, you simply go through the security check and you will be at your gate. Your only hassle will be checking in your luggage.

4. Make a List

If your fall trip involves visiting tourist attractions, or simply visiting a city you have never been to, you should make a list before you leave of what you want to see. For example, if you are visiting San Francisco, there are so many sights to see such as the Golden State Bridge, Pier 51, the Painted ladies, and the Red Forest. But did you know there are also cute little spots to see such as a cafe that makes rainbow lattes? There are the popular tourist attractions, and then there are the little hidden gems only locals know.

Before you leave for vacation, search up places you need to see when visiting your city and make a list of them. Also, look at the locations of each tourist sight and divide them for different days. After all, you cannot do everything in one day. 

Planning a fall trip this season has never been less stressful with these suggestions. Which one is your favorite recommendation? Let us know down below!
