Smart Travel Tips to Save Money and Make the Most of Travel Deals

Travelling during off-peak periods like shoulder seasons or weekdays can avoid inflated prices for flights, hotels, and attractions.

Peak seasons such as school holidays, public holidays or festival often come with higher rates and larger crowds.

💡 Pro Tip: Travelling in the shoulder season gives you more room to explore at your own pace, making it easier to enjoy attractions comfortably and capture that perfect profile-picture moment 😉

Frequent flyer miles, hotel points and other loyalty rewards can save hundreds on future trips.

💡 Pro Tip: Combine loyalty points with promo codes, seasonal deals, or travel packages. For example, book hotels through partner platforms to earn points while applying discounts. Track expiring points to maximise value.

Travel fairs like MATTA Fair or MATTA Online offer exclusive deals on flights, hotels, tour packages and attractions.

If you’re planning to visit the physical fair, plan ahead by noting the booths you want to visit and check if the fair offers additional seasonal promotions to stack the savings.

💡 Pro Tip: The national MATTA fair in Kuala Lumpur is the biggest with the widest range of offer and only held twice a year. It is typically held in March/April and September, remember to keep an eye out for the official dates.
