Budget-Friendly & Comfortable Ramadan Travel Tips So Your Wallet Stays Intact!

Going home for Ramadan is always something to look forward to. Just imagine—finally going back to your hometown, reuniting with family, and enjoying those once-a-year traditional dishes. But behind all that joy, there’s one big challenge that tends to creep in: skyrocketing travel expenses!

Ever been all set to go home, but suddenly that cheap flight ticket turns ridiculously expensive? Or you run out of cash halfway through the trip because you forgot to count in tolls and meal costs? Let’s not let that happen, shall we? To keep your trip comfy and your wallet happy, check out these travel tips to save smart while going home for the holidays.

Tips for a stress-free trip home

To make sure your Ramadan journey stays stress-free, follow these tips below:

1. Plan your trip early

Transportation tickets always go up in price the closer it gets to Lebaran. So if you’re aiming for cheap flights, trains, or buses at the best price, you need to book early. Also, consider alternative routes or off-peak travel schedules to avoid heavy traffic.

2. Create a realistic budget

You don’t want to run out of money before you even get there. Plan your budget-friendly trip home by estimating the total travel cost, including:

• Transportation tickets or gas and tolls if you’re driving
• Accommodation if it’s a long trip and you need to rest
• Food and drinks along the way
• Souvenirs for family back home

Make sure your travel cost estimate fits your financial situation. You can use the Honest Card's many features to monitor your spending directly from the app. That way, you can stick to your budget and avoid overspending.

3. Only bring what you really need

Bringing too much stuff just makes your trip more complicated and less comfortable. Create a checklist of essentials like:

• Travel tickets and ID documents
• Personal medications
• Charger and power bank
• Your Honest Credit Card for easier transactions
