Travel during the off season

It is a surprise to know that plane tickets for the US are 50% higher during the peak season particularly December and January. But my brother has an alternative. He buys plane tickets of a Chinese airline (I forgot the name). It is cheap regardless of the season. But the downside is the stopover in China for 8 hours so the flight is not continuous from the US to the Philippines. Nevertheless my brother and his family had saved $2,000 in that flight.

When I am booking a flight, I always compare the cost. I always choose low-fare tickets. In most cases, I book the flight with the travel company that I have been using for a long time because I am entitled to discounts as a regular customer. I also tend to avoid traveling in the peak season.

Your brother is an intelligent guy. I was also mostly traveling by plane. But some flights are super expensive. That's why I was looking for an alternative. So I was browsing the internet I found about the https://www.dbfahrplan.com/de/ website. And was fascinated with the prices they have. So now I will only travel by train because it is cheaper. By the way, if you also know another website where I can find cheap train tickets, feel free to share that info. I will appreciate any help you can provide.

Your brother is very wise. He is resourceful. He knows the best alternative in buying a cheap plane ticket.

He has saved a much money for the plane ticket.

I've been thinking about why most people choose the train? But then I realized that the Plane is an excellent and, most importantly, a fast mode of transport that can deliver to almost any country in the world in a few hours, not days. But despite this, many people choose the train, and for these reasons: It is more economical. As a rule, a plane ticket is more expensive. In addition, you will need to pay for the transportation of luggage. Having bought a train ticket, a passenger may not think about the dimensions (if desired, you can even take a bicycle with you) and how much it will cost to transport things. And it's very easy to book a ticket. Just go to the website https://www.dbauskunft.com/de/, and you can not only book a ticket.yu but also see the schedule. And with airplanes, the schedule is always unclear because of the constant flight changes.

I know a plane is fast kind or means of transportation and it's very expensive compared to other means of transportation and trains are economical which is cheaper than the plane. But if you're traveling by land and there's no train, bus is the option for everyone and it's very cheap.
