Conde Nast Traveler has a great list of ten ways to save on vacations this year that goes beyond the obvious tips you’ve heard a million times before.

Save even more by getting an online checking account from Charles Schwab that refunds international ATM fees and switching your phone plan to one that includes free international data and texting. T-Mobile’s Simple Choice plan is a great option for this.

Of course, the number one tip for saving on travel this year is to use Sky Tours!
