Many of us do not wish to get ripped off. However, getting ripped off from time to time has become a regular travel routine. Do not let being ripped off get in the way of a great trip so just keep calm and carry on if this happens to you. However, you should also be aware of the fact that there are many ways on how you can protect yourself from those. Here are some tips that you should know about:

·         Baggage Fees

The baggage fees that you have to pay for would vary depending on the airline that you will be flying with. You would have to pay an amount of $15 up to $75 and you even have to pay more if your baggage will become overweight. To avoid this, it is recommended that you pack lightly and bring those items which will come handy during your trip. Make sure to weigh your bag before you go to the airport to make sure that it will not go beyond the weight limit set forth by the airline.

·         Hotel Wifi

Today, being connected to the Internet has become an important goal for many travelers. Because of that, the hotels take advantage of this need by charging people for connecting to the wifi. The thing that you should know is that, not all hotels have wifi charges. In fact, most of the hotels today offer wifi to their guests for free so we recommend that you book these types of hotels if wish to stay connected during your trip (with no additional cost).

·         Hotel and airport food.

Anyone who has traveled more than once is already well aware of the fact that the food in hotels and airports are quite overpriced. To avoid this, we recommend that you pack some food for your plane trip. In addition to that, you should also bring an empty water bottle so you can just easily fill it up in the water stations at the airport. Lastly, it is recommended that you eat in different food establishments out of the hotel so you can be able to save money while enjoying good food.

We all wish to save money when traveling. However, there are some fees that cause the travel costs to skyrocket. The rip offs mentioned above are very common. In fact, it is so common that many travelers think that these are normal aspects of traveling. But they aren’t. The next time you go on a trip, do not forget to protect yourself from these rip offs by following the tips mentioned above.
