Traveling to Paradise on a Budget

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service 

P: (631) 587-8500

Dreaming of an adventure to paradise without breaking the bank? If your response is “I don’t have enough money to travel”, you’re not alone. But the simple fact of the matter is: you don’t need to be rich in order to travel. What you really need is to plan strategically. Here’s how to do it:

Do Research. Some destinations are more expensive than others. So rather than visiting the most highly desired areas, search for the world’s cheapest, most exotic destinations. You’ll be surprised to discover how much there is to do and see in such a private location.

Choose Two Locations. You heard us right! Make your round trip vacation into a multi-city exploration. Believe it or not, booking a multi-city flight can help you save money significantly on airfare. So if Italy or Paris is calling your name, add an extra stop to a getaway, like Iceland, for an even more wild adventure!

Consider Alternative Lodging. Although traveling during off-peak season is the most obvious way to save, you might not want to sacrifice timing. No problem - there are plenty of other ways you can save. (1) take advantage of deals, such as a “Stay 2 Nights, Get the 3rd Night Free” offer. (2) Opt for an all-inclusive price to help you save on food and drinks during your stay. (3) Take advantage of luxurious accommodations from locals through Airbnb, where you can search for worldwide rentals within your price range.

Seek Out a Travel Agent. Visiting a travel agent can not only provide you with tips and tricks for your next getaway, but it can also help you lower the costs - no extra fees required! Travel agencies offer luxurious special offers and will more or less book the entire trip for you, making it a win-win solution!

No matter where you plan your next travel adventure, Dynasty Limousine will be there to handle your transportation needs. We are available for pickups and drop offs at all of the major New York Airports including and for most private airports including Farmingdale Executive Airport.

#WeddingWednesday - Honeymoon Booking Mistakes

P: (631) 587-8500

 

 

The light at the end of the wedding planning tunnel: the honeymoon. For many couples this is the trip of a lifetime, a relaxing, long, exotic and intimate trip taken together. What could go wrong? 

From procrastination to poorly planned escapes there are some easily avoidable mistakes when it comes to booking a honeymoon. So here’s what NOT to do:

Procrastinate: Remember, premium rooms at resorts tend to book up early. It’s best to book your honeymoon 6-8 months prior, including securing your flight accommodations. Between airline mergers and peak travel periods you could be left with fewer flights, longer layovers, and higher prices.

Leave it to one person: Unless your soon-to-be husband or wife is uncommonly perceptive to your wants and needs - it’s best to make honeymoon planning a joint effort. This way both parties have things on the itinerary they’d like to have included.

Choosing another person's honeymoon: Just because your friends enjoyed their calm, stress free honeymoon at an all inclusive resort doesn’t mean this is the best decision for you and your soon-to-be-spouse’s adventurous spirits. It’s OK to seek advice from like minded friends and family, but ultimately this is your trip. Be sure to tailor it accordingly.

Shortchanging the budget: Weddings add up quickly but avoid dipping your hands in the honeymoon piggy bank. You can’t get your week long luxury stay with a balcony overlooking the ocean, with a 3 night, 2 star hotel budget.

Start the honeymoon off right by choosing Dynasty Limousine: Long Island’s Premiere Limousine Service, as your transportation for your romantic escape. We are available for pickups and drop offs at all of the major New York Airports including, JFK, La Guardia, Mac Arthur Airport and for most private airports including Farmingdale Executive Airport.

#WeddingWednesday - Planning The Ultimate Bachelorette Party

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service

P: (631) 587-8500

 

Planning, organizing, prioritizing - easy to keep front of mind at the start of the New Year. With 2015 in full swing, any bride-to-be this year can attest, there sure is a lot of planning on the horizon.

From seating arrangements to vendor scouting, planning a wedding is equally exciting as it can be stressful. No wonder a weekend filled with champagne, your girls, and what-happens-in-[destination] stays there memories is always looked forward to.

See below for some tips for planning the ultimate bachelorette party (courtesy of Lauren Conrad and The Bach):

Choose a city - This is your weekend away with your closest friends by your side. Pick a place you love to visit or even a city you’ve never been to (but always wanted to go). Create a list of possible destinations with their pros and cons to narrow it down!

Pick a theme - Do you prefer a relaxing spa weekend or something a little wilder? Maybe a mix of both? Either way decide on what you’d want to do and head to The Bach to view a list of spas, salons, restaurants, clubs, and activities in the city of your choosing.

Create an itinerary - Let your guests know what you plan to have going on each day and at what time. This will help your guests plan their routines (shower and prep time) as well as what to pack. Leave room for some downtime should anything else come up!

Once you finish the above and send out the invites, take care of your transportation. Whether you’ve decided to stay local or head out of town, start your weekend off in style with Dynasty Limousine. We’ll drive you around the island, city, or simply to and from the airports. Contact us today for availability.

#TuesdayTips for Celebrating the Holidays at Walt Disney World

Long Island's Premiere Limousine Service

P: (631) 587-8500

8.5 million lights, 15 miles of garlands, 1,300 individually decorated Christmas trees - the holidays aren’t just a celebration at Walt Disney World, they’re an epic production. If you’re heading down south for a little bit of Disney Christmas magic this season, we wanted to provide some tips from Travel + Leisure to help you strategize your venture in advance:

Arrive Early - The week between Christmas and New Years is prime time for tourist travel, not surprising since the kids are out of school and you have vacation days to use up. During this peak time, it’s not uncommon for Disney’s Magic Kingdom to reach capacity by late morning. Last year, management closed the entry gates on December 31st until hordes started to disperse in the late afternoon.  So if you have your heart set on a park, be sure to get there at least an hour before it opens!

Book Meal Reservations Ahead of Time - While this isn’t new, booking advance dining reservations is crucial. Plus as a bonus, if you have a reservation in a theme park that’s nearing capacity and guests are being refused entry - you’ll be more likely to get inside. Head to the Biergarten in Epcot’s Germany pavilion for a festive meal with a special holiday buffet and Christmas market.

Focus on Epcot and Animal Kingdom - Magic Kingdom is Disney’s most popular park attracting an estimated 18.5 million visits last year alone. With the crowds that flock there, it could take you an hour to simply get from one end of the park to the other. No amounts of holiday cheer can withstand those circumstances. This time, try your hand visiting Epcot and/or Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Both are more spacious, so you will feel less crammed in there!

Plan Ahead - BYO-Stroller. Disney of course provides these for rentals, they do sell out quickly. Plan ahead and bring anything you can as to opt out of anything that requires you to stand in line for the service (stroller rentals, Fastpass rescheduling, etc).

It’s also important to adjust your expectations, with gridlock this thick you likely won’t get to do everything you had wanted but that shouldn’t hinder your celebration! For additional Disney travel tips, click here »

We handle pick ups and drop offs at all major New York Airports including La Guardia, JFK, Mac Arthur as well as most private airports like Farmingdale Executive Airport.
