How to Travel Like a Boss (Without Going Broke)


How to Travel Like a Boss (Without Going Broke)

We’ve all seen those Instagram-worthy trips where someone’s living it up in a first-class seat or lounging at a luxury resort. But guess what? You don’t need to max out your credit cards to travel like a boss. With the right hacks (and my ​Boujee Travel Boss Checklist​), you’ll be booking high-end experiences without breaking the bank.

Here’s how:

1. Pick the Right Flights

You don’t need to fly first-class to feel first-class. Use flight deal sites like Skyscanner, Aviasales, or set up Google Flight alerts to score deals on premium economy or budget airlines. And if you’re feeling boujee, bid for a last-minute upgrade—sometimes they’re surprisingly affordable!

2. Stay Boujee on a Budget

Fancy resorts are great, but boutique hotels and Airbnb Luxe options often have just as much flair for less. Pro tip: Always ask for free upgrades when you check-in. The worst they can say is no, and the best? Hello, Ocean View suite!

3. Plan Ahead Like a Pro

It’s all in the details. Don’t just wing it! Research Instagrammable spots, the best restaurants, and local hidden gems to add that “wow” factor to your trip. Bonus: Planning ahead keeps you from wasting cash on last-minute choices that don’t hit the mark.
