The Latest #Travelhack That Savvy Travellers Are Taking Advantage Of

What’s Your Dream Destination?

The biggest hurdle stopping everyone from travelling to their dream destinations is the upfront cost — travel companies expect immediate full payment for the trip ticket. So, many travellers have to save up for months (or years) before their dream trip. Some people have asked, “Why should we pay for all our travel today when we will be travelling in the future?” Therefore, some airlines and travel companies have since introduced instalment payment for their products and services.

Besides the recent introduction of the instalment plan by airlines, credit card users could use the instalment scheme to buy many things from flight tickets to electrical appliances for the longest time. However, many refuse to own one because they are scared of falling into a credit card debt trap. Credit card interest rates are very high if you do not pay the bill in full — even for the best travel credit card. And missing credit card repayment could do severe damage to credit score. On the other hand, an instalment payment plan with money that you own can help in your monthly budgeting and ease your short-term cash crunch.
