4) Social Media Alerts
Often when you express an interest in a particular travel company online, by liking their Facebook page or following them on Twitter, you can find yourself inundated with travel spam, with offers ranging from a guided Segway tour of Paris to a 10 percent discount on a pint of Guinness in Ireland. If you spend time making contact with the right companies, though, setting up the right restrictions on their contact with you — you can gain access to a whole new world of travel deals.
Some websites will even allow you to set up Facebook or email alerts with specific parameters. They’ll alert you when flights to Brazil become available for under $500 or a four-star hotel in Singapore has a half-price offer. It can be a bit of a chore setting up these alerts, but once done — you can just sit back and let the hottest deals come flooding into your Facebook feed or email inbox.
