Ahh… the elusive Trans-Siberian express. It’s been a dream of mine for a while now, and unfortunately I’m struggling to find the time to do it.

Regardless, my favourite tip on using this most romantic of transport methods? The Man in Seat Sixty-One (http://www.seat61.com/) - a great site with all the information you need to travel (pretty much) anywhere in the world from the good old UK.

Great post.

Thanks so much for the mention Plonkee!

Hope you make it to Egypt and have a great time there.

Been there but not as adventurous as you. Have not tried a felucca yet.

Regards

Great tips! I love to travel, and I’ve used a few of these tips on many occasions! Have fun in Oktoberfest (yes I’m jealous!)

Thanks for the mention.

The Trans-Siberian is on my to-do list as well, I think I might go with my dad sometime. This year is looking pretty poor for vacation but I’m hoping to fit in Montreal in the autumn.
Have fun in Egypt, my friend went with her belly dancing class last year and loved it.

The yesterday’s Festival of Frugality #122 (hosted at my blog) had several posts on frugal travel. I’ve included the links below.

How to find Southwest Air bargains
Don’t forget that some of the best souveniers are inexpensive or free
Two people can visit Barcelona on 10 Euro a day
How to stay safe while traveling abroad

Just to say that the suggestion to use Esperanto for inexpensive travel really works! I know - I’ve used this planned language a lot on my travels.

Some tips for saving money while buying plane tickets:
-Buy on Tuesdays, thursday and Wednesdays.
-Use multiple resources to find trips not just one like expedia.
-Buy roundtrip.
-Don’t dismiss first class travel, sometimes it can be cheaper, really.
-Buy tickets in advance to your travels and not within a week before your travels.

Great resource for budget travelling Plonkee - I just wish I had more money available to do some travelling myself! Hoping to get to a European city later this year though.

Wouldn’t the Trans-Siberian local be more fun than the express? I will be undertaking it at some point in mid-2010, though starting either from Vladivostok or Beijing (via Trans-Manchurian), or maybe even taking the ferry from S Korea.

Interestingly, I’ve never had a problem with using my cards overseas (without notifying my bank, even). The only time I had an issue was booking local flights on foreign carriers on the internet (from the comfort of my own home).

Plonkee this is absolutely wonderful thank you for this!!

@deepali:
If I ever get the time for the Trans-Sib local, then that would of course be more fun, if also more challenging.

I’m a bit concerned that it’s just me that has a problem with using cards overseas. It’s happened to me at least twice - and the first time, it was every single card that I took with me. Banks probably don’t like me very much.
