Last Updated 15 minutes agoA summer vacation can get expensive, especially if you have n’t had a chance to stay on top of the trends when it comes to purchasing those plane tickets.
Fortunately for final- minute travelers, nevertheless, I come bearing great news.
You might have saved up planning a vacation by now because there is still time to travel to some of the nation’s most spectacular beach destinations and this upcoming month is actually the cheapest time of year to visit five of them.
But which of these locations are they, and are they really for seeing?
Costa Rica
August is hands down the best month of the year to spend a summer in what was really named one of the best beach spots in the world.
Round-trip airfare to Costa Rica for this month will begin at a small over$ 150, and since that’s only the Fort Lauderdale-San Jose way, prices across all U.S. flights often exceed the$ 370 level, so it’s safe to assume that you’ll be saving a lot of money on travel regardless of where you depart from.
You’ll want to get moving immediately if you know I already said that booking your reservations may have saved you money, but flights booked less than a week in advance of your desired destination can sell for more than$ 700.
Vietnam
You can always turn your attention to Asia, and Vietnam will be the first place you’ll want to consider if a summer in Costa Rica does n’t quite pique your interest.
Though the South Eastern country has had an extraordinary year tourism- wise, come hot, most people tend to overlook it in favor of more generally beachy hubs, forgetting that Vietnam has an incredible 2, 140- mile (3, 444- kilometer ) coastline only waiting to be explored.
So, you’ll be pleased to learn that a two-way ticket starts at just a little over$ 600 this August ( in comparison, the price of the same exact ticket purchased in January would be over$ 800 ).
Thailand
Moving on to a location more famous for its beaches, Thailand continues to be a popular this summer, despite the fact that August is considered to be the rainy season.
If you do n’t mind a spontaneous change of plans or two, though, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Sure, it can be challenging to deal with all the heavy precipitation, but these shows are usually short and refreshing, not to mention you’ll get to save a lot on tickets – you can cover all travel costs at$ 660 per man, which is approximately$ 300 less than what you’d paid during the dry season.
Malaysia
Malaysia is yet another country that experiences a hot yet humid type climate in August, but again, as long as you stay flexible with your plans and choose to explore the island’s west coast ( Penang, Langkawi, and Pangkor Island ) where rainfall is more moderate, you should n’t run into too many issues.
Again, round- trip tickets start in the mid$ 600s this upcoming month, and considering that they can sell for up to$ 1000 in December.
Theoretically, a family of four could save upwards of$ 1600 just by choosing to take that Malaysia trip now.
Indonesia
Do you want to take a chance with all the rain?
Do n’t worry – you can always travel to Indonesia instead.
Here, August is part of the dry season, so Bali, Lombok, and the Gili Islands– here we come!
Return tickets to Indonesia even cost a bit less than those to Malaysia, at just$ 620, and between that, the dreamy weather, and the fact that you’ll get to see some of the most coveted places on Earth firsthand, it’s safe to say that this’ll be a great value vacation.
