People work hard for their money and when traveling they want to save as much of it as possible. While we all love a good deal, not everything you have heard on budget travel may be true. Travelpro has gathered up a few travel myths you should be aware of when planning your next vacation.

• Myth: Book your flights and hotels early – While there is some truth to securing your accommodations well before your departure, the same rule of thumb does not apply for booking airfare. You only need to plan six to seven weeks in advance in order to get the best price.

• Myth: Exchange money before you leave the US – With the right credit card in your wallet, this is actually unnecessary. Many credit card companies offer cards with no transaction fees for foreign withdrawals. You will pay a small fee if you use an ATM, but it’s minimal compared to the service fee charged by a bank.

• Myth: Unlock your phone for international travel – This is unnecessary unless you are going to be in an area of the world where you will need to make calls whenever you want and won’t have wifi access. In addition, apps like WhatsApp, Viber, and Skype make it easy to communicate offline via text or even make Internet-phone calls while abroad.
