Money Saving Travel blogs

Whilst travel is about as cheap as it ever was, it is still often the case that a large portion of a person's income is put towards an annual holiday. Unless you've got money to burn or are fiercely loyal to a particular travel company or resort, it's very rare to not shop around before booking up a trip and the Internet is nearly always the first port of call. There are a great number of regularly updated blogs which are devoted to unearthing the very best deals in their specialist travel fields, but not all of them are reliable or accurate. Weeding out those who have overt and misleading corporate interests, the remaining blogs below are the cream of the crop and at the very least will serve as a good springboard into the booking process.
