“I use VPNs to save money big time when I’m booking travel. It’s always worth it to check in my opinion and you can use VPN browsers that are $5 a month (£4).” as Kat advised.
UK viewers can make the most of sites including Nord and Surfshark VPN, both of which start from £4 per month. The pay-as-you-go networks create a secure barrier around your device when scouring the internet and our most often used for internet safety, but as they block users’ data it helps keep users’ costs on bookings down as they don’t get caught in demand-based pricing.
Kat explains how simple it is to do. She added that travellers are “getting the same benefit as if you’re using an incognito browser because they can’t track your history.”
As well as Nord VPN and Surfshark shoppers can look at deals over at ExpressVPN too. Travellers looking for last minute summer holiday deals can look at deals at both Expedia and Love Holidays for all-inclusive getaways.
