As temperatures rise and the call for adventure grows louder, it’s time to embrace the wanderlust spirit and indulge in some well-deserved relaxation. In the Philippines, where the distinction between wet and dry seasons reigns, the months of April and May unofficially mark the peak of summer. With Labor Day approaching and a plethora of regular holidays on the horizon, the urge to embark on a vacation becomes irresistible.

In the realm of limited vacation time, strategic planning becomes paramount. Crafting the perfect holiday involves meticulous preparation, not only to enhance enjoyment but also to save those precious pesos. If you’re eager to make the most of your summer escapades, here are some essential travel hacks you need to know!

1. Frugal Flights:

To soar through the skies without burning a hole in your pocket, early planning is key. Booking flights and accommodations well in advance unlocks access to budget-friendly deals. Keep an eye out for enticing promotions online, especially if you’re a holder of RCBC Credit Cards. For instance, travelers can seize discounts on Qatar Airways flights by using the promo code MASTERCARD when paying with their RCBC Mastercard Credit Card.

2. Airport Oasis:

Bid farewell to airport fatigue by seeking refuge in lounges or sleeping pods during layovers. RCBC cardholders enjoy complimentary access to PAGSS International Lounges at Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminals 1 and 3, ensuring a rejuvenating pre-flight experience.

3. Accommodation Affordability:

While it’s tempting to skimp on lodging expenses, subpar accommodations can mar the vacation experience. Strike a balance between budget-consciousness and comfort by availing of exclusive online promos. With RCBC Visa Credit Cards, travelers can snag an eight percent discount on hotel bookings worldwide via Agoda, while bookings made through Booking.com using RCBC Mastercard Credit Cards can unlock savings of up to 30%.

4. Preparing Prerequisites:

Before jetting off to foreign lands, ensure compliance with travel requirements. From visas to health documentation and COVID-19 vaccination proof, thorough preparation alleviates last-minute hassles. Familiarize yourself with local currency practices and leverage the convenience of RCBC Credit Cards, widely accepted abroad. With the RCBC Pulz app, managing funds and foreign exchange becomes a breeze, empowering travelers with seamless financial flexibility.

5. Essential Allies:

As you embark on your summer sojourn, don’t forget to pack your passport, mobile phone, and trusty RCBC debit and credit cards — the ultimate companions for modern-day travel.
