Many people want to travel cheaply. A man from Klagenfurt spent 17 days traveling in six European countries. He booked four cheap flights and two bus transfers. Here he reveals tips on how to travel (more) cheaply around the world.

The prices for flight tickets are still rising despite the low-cost airlines. If you book earlier, you usually get a better deal on the travel market. "Tickets can be purchased 330 days before the start of a trip," says Ingo Hitzenhammer from "Hitreise". "It's cheaper to book in winter than in summer. And luggage is an additional complication," says Hitzenhammer. Flying without luggage is cheaper. Skyscanner has long been helping to find cheaper tickets. Long-haul flights are often included. Even as a travel professional, you have to pay around 100 euros for a cheap flight ticket with luggage these days.

But of course it's not just globetrotters who travel much cheaper. "But you need a lot of time to find a flight ticket and plan your trip," says Markus K. from Klagenfurt, who has traveled through half of Europe for very little money (see graphic below).
