Summer is coming, which means it’s time to plan a long-awaited vacation. And although international airfare prices leave much to be desired, this is not a reason to postpone your vacation. Moreover, there are several working life hacks with which you can buy tickets at competitive prices.
The first thing to do is to decide on the type of vacation. If you like to lie on the beach with a glass of sparkling wine, you should take a closer look at countries like Turkey or Egypt. If you are for outdoor activities, then it is better to go to Europe. But keep in mind that in this case you will have to cover a day’s journey and at least one transfer.
Well, if you’re tired enough to be ready to go anywhere to get away from the troubles of home or work, we’ve rounded up all the possible travel routes in 2023.
Türkiye
Flight ticket to Antalya: from 16 thousand rubles
How long flight time: 5 hours
Visa: not required
Summer weather: +33 °C
Türkiye, although obvious, is the most practical option. Apparently, there are all categories of hotels, from family hotels designed for families with children to adults with all-day parties. And the all-inclusive system, which works perfectly on the territory of the country’s resort zone, allows you not to go beyond the budget for vacation.
By the way, in Turkey you can easily combine two types of recreation at once: both beach and active. For a beautiful tan, go to Antalya or Bodrum, for emotions and new experiences, go to Istanbul, Cappadocia and Kas, the favorite city of all locals.
Sweetcorn
The price of the flight to Sharm El Sheikh: 25 thousand rubles
How long flight time: 6 hours
Visa: Issued on arrival at Egyptian airports
Summer temperature: +35 °C
The good thing about Egypt in the summer is the relatively cheap prices. Especially if you buy a tour that includes accommodation, meals and flights. Let’s be honest, you should forget about outdoor activities here, but that’s no reason to be upset. The coast of the Red Sea will save any vacation.
Another important point is that it is very hot here in summer, but it is dry. During the day, the temperature rises to +35 ° C, and if there were also high humidity, not a single person could survive such weather conditions. And if you can’t stand the heat, check out Hurghada, not Sharm el-Sheikh. Due to the strong winds in this area, the high temperature is practically not felt.
UAE
Airfare to Dubai: from 11 thousand rubles
How long flight time: 5 hours 30 minutes
Visa: not required
Summer temperature: +43 °C
It seems that only the most fearless person will take the risk of going to the UAE in the summer. The daytime air temperature here reaches +43 °C. However, the influx of tourists during this period is no less than at other times of the year. And since it’s all in the summer months, hotels offer very advantageous offers for tourists.
In this period, it is useful to choose the morning hours when the sun is not yet at its peak to relax by the sea. In the daytime, you can go to shopping centers or museums. It is better to avoid daytime walks and desert excursions in the city, but in the evening you can go to explore new areas.
Thailand
Airfare to Phuket: from 50 thousand rubles
How long flight time: 9 hours 40 minutes
Visa: not required
Summer temperature: +29 °C
Most tourists do not choose Thailand during the summer months because of the famous rainy season that only a few people want to enter. But experienced travelers assure that not a single torrential rain will spoil the whole vacation. At least because there is little rain that can fall all day. And there the weather changes so quickly that the sun appears in the sky immediately after the rain.
But if you’re not one to risk your vacation, go to Koh Samui. This resort is just right for a summer vacation – rains are rare here and the air temperature is not as high as in other regions.
Maldives
Airfare to Male: from 48 thousand rubles
How long flight time: 8 hours 40 minutes
Visa: not required
Summer temperature: +30 °C
Maldives is always a good idea. Moreover, summer is no worse than any time of the year: the water is crystal clear and the sand is snow-white. Of course, the rainy season does not bypass the Maldives, but as we said above, you do not need to be afraid of them – 20 minutes of rain and again sunny weather.
In the summer season, tickets are much cheaper, so this is a great opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful places in the world and not go bankrupt.
Cuba
Airfare to Varadero: from 70 thousand rubles
Flight time: 13 hours 40 minutes
Visa: not required
Summer temperature: +32 °C
Cuba is the main discovery of the author of this text when planning a vacation this year. To be honest, it is much more profitable to immediately go on such a trip with a tour. You can find about 140 thousand coupons for two for 9 days. By the way, if you buy the tickets separately, it will be much more expensive than a ready-made tour package that includes accommodation and meals.
The holiday season in Cuba is a year – here it hardly rains for a long time. The only negative is high humidity, but still incomparable with the weather conditions in Asian countries.
Israel
The price of a flight to Tel Aviv: from 28 thousand rubles (with one transfer)
How long flight time: 5 hours 10 minutes
Visa: not required
Summer temperature: +33 °C
Let’s be honest, summer is not the best season for vacation in Israel. But if you can stand the heat, feel free to consider this aspect. However, it is better not to forget about simple means of protection: use sunscreen cosmetics, wear a hat and do not forget to drink enough water.
It is better to plan a visit to the beach before 12 noon and spend the rest of the evening visiting indoor pools or other places where the air conditioning works.
