Budget Jetset Quick Tip # 6: Travel the Shoulder Months

The high season in many jetset destinations comes with a lofty price tag. There is another option for those whom are seeking to travel to these destinations on a budget. Try booking vacations to jetset hotspots during the shoulder season. You will get great deals, near perfect weather and less crowds. That doesn’t mean the party has stopped.  There is still fun to be had when hotels and airlines slash prices at the end of high season.

Here are some shoulder month recommendations for popular jetset destinations:

April, May & November: Caribbean and Mexico’s Riviera Maya  
Room prices fall close to 30 percent and hurricane season is out of the picture to allow for great sunning, swimming, and cocktailing.

June, September & October:  Mediterranean Sea
Warm weather allows for sunny beach days and prices are as much as 25 percent lower than in the July & August high season. Parties are just kicking off or slowly winding down on the islands and beach communities of the Mediterranean.

June & November: Thailand
April & May are hot and humid; September & October can be extremely wet but June & November are the transition months with better weather for visiting the tourist sites and experiencing the amazing culture of Thailand. The crowds will arrive from December through March for the high season.
