Spring holidays are just around the corner for primary school students.

If you have not reserved a trip, NBC CT responds to talk to an expert who said she can still escape without breaking the bank.

“For those of us who live in the latitudes of the north, we always arrive at this time of the year and it is like Oh Dang, they should really have reserved something,” said Tiffany Funk, co -founder of Point.me, a search site and reserve based on travel points.

Funk says there are often excellent options for last minute trip using points.

“You can still go for spring vacations for 18,000 points per person. I think it’s very reasonable,” he said.

But even if you do not use points to travel, the travel expert says you can find savings if you change the mentality of the typical spring vacation.

“You may find a cheap flight to Orlando, but Disney will still be a $ 5,000 trip, there is no way to avoid that. But there are other destinations,” Funk said.

What about Savannah or Charleston?

Funk says that recently he saw a reasonable flight to Barcelona too.

Or what’s a cold place?

“Iceland at this time of year. A little out of the box, but it is not a long flight from New England,” Funk suggested.

“Great destination with children. Much exploration. Many exterior things and will not be busy at this time of year. It is before reaching the maximum tourism season, so everything will be less expensive.”

While this year’s trip can be the last minute, it is never too early to start planning for the spring holiday next year and thinking about gathering points for next year.

“Most people have points. They just don’t realize the points they have available for them,” Funk said.

Make an inventory.

Investigate the credit cards you currently use and the airlines with which you have flown and see if it has been bank points.

You can use online tools like Point.me to help you with your research and find points offers.

Funk suggests changing his expenses to a credit card that will help him get the points to cover the spring vacation trip of his dreams for next year.

“Many people are always surprised by how many more points you could win every year when spending already.”

Reward credit cards are excellent if you can pay the balance every month.

But be careful, these cards have very high interest rates, so do not take them lightly.

These are not cards that you will want to use if you have to wear a balance between month after month.
