Since there are millions of different websites offering flights, accommodation, communication, on land travel and travel information, it is difficult to know which ones are completely reliable and which ones provide their customers with the best service. For this reason, we’ve decided to make a list of the travel resources we have used ourselves and have proven to be high quality, user-friendly and fully trustworthy. It will make your honeymoon cheaper, easier and better. 😉
Cheap flights
The following are some of the most popular web search engines for finding the cheapest available flights. Their free service is fast and reliable. Skyscanner, Momondo, and Kayak also find the cheapest hotels and car rentals. We usually use Skyscanner, but it’s always best to double check for even better deals on the other websites.
• Momondo
• Kayak
• Expedia
Expedia is an all-in-one travel website where you can book airline tickets, hotels, and vacation packages, car rentals, cruises, attractions, tours, activities, and other services. It’s very practical and all in all a great choice!
Accommodation
• Booking.com
Booking.com is one of the best websites for finding accommodation. You can filter the results by price, star rating, property type, availability, distance from city center, popularity and more. They offer you detailed reviews and frequent discounts. Their service is fast, easy and fully trustworthy.
• Agoda
Agoda is a good alternative to Booking.com. They offer hotels, vacation rentals as well as flights.

Instead of hotels, resorts or hostels, this website specializes in renting homes, apartments, and rooms. Here you can find cheap accommodation and reliable, safe service. We especially recommend Airbnb for those who plan on staying at one location for a longer while.
• HostelWorld

The only thing you need is a solid internet connection. Their service is completely free and very high quality.
• Viber
Viber actually provides the same services as Skype. It is available as a computer program or a smartphone app.

The easiest way for sharing files and folders is via Dropbox. After creating an account you can upload photos, documents and videos. You can keep it for yourself or share it with friends and family. This way your digital data is with you anywhere there is internet access and it keeps your files safe.

Google Drive is Google’s great alternative to Dropbox. We use it and we love it.
