Gay travel resources and tips

Fly like a bird

Research for the flights

In this part we are going to present the, in our opinion, the best resources for researching flights on the web. Additionally you can also check our article.

Skyscanner is our favorite resource for researching flights because it has the widest variety of airlines, including all those local ones you’ve probably never heard of, thereby maximizing your options. It’s clear and simple to use and also has an excellent user friendly app.

Google Flights lets you enter your departure airport and see flights all over the world in a map so you can see where the cheapest destination is. It’s a good search engine to get a sense of routes, connections, and fares.

 

Airtreks is a leader in round the world tickets. Their booking engine will allow you to construct itineraries using multiple airlines so you can piece together the best deals. And their staff is excellent and really knows their stuff! Win-win!

 

 

Momondo searches a great number of different airlines, including many budget carriers as major sites are missing. While we always begin with Skyscanner, we will also check this website also to compare prices.

Accommodation

Choosing the optimal accommodation is our major priority. We’d namely like to achieve the optimal value for the cheapest price possible. That’s why we have selected a few of the best world sites, which in our opinion offer the best services.

Booking probably has the widest selection of budget accommodation in the world. Furthermore,  it is constantly finding the cheapest rooms. Thirdly, we like their easy-to-use interface and no money down policy. Finally, they are specially adapted to listing in developing countries.

Airbnb connects homeowners who rent out their homes/apartments for you. More importantly, you will have all the comforts of home and the opportunity to stay in a nontouristic part of the city at the fraction of the cost of a hotel room.

Purple-Roofs is a massive online portal, which catalogs all the gay-friendly hotels around the world to their millions of readers. It does not have an online booking system, but it is a useful tool to research exclusively gay accommodations for a specific area.

Misterbnb is the Airbnb equivalent for the LGBT community. Unlike Airbnb, you know your host is gay (or at least gay-friendly) and it’s a great way to connect and meet with a gay local who is likely to show you around. Most importantly, it is an ideal option for large European cities like London, Paris, Berlin, etc.

 

Travel-Gay aims to help you find the best gay bars, nightclubs, saunas, spas, beaches, shops, and more, along with interesting travel ideas and fabulous offers. Furthermore, for each destination they highlight some of the very best hotels for gay travelers. And ultimately, they have extensive firsthand knowledge of gay Europe, America and Asia, supported by a network of local contacts throughout every region.

Transportation with the bus or with the train

Many travelers consider riding by bus or by train vacation on their own. That how important it is to choose the best mean of transport possible. Here we have selected a few online sites which offer comprehensive information on traveling by car, bus, or even by car sharing.

If you are going to Europe and taking a lot of trains, get a rail pass. I’ve used a rail pass three times and saved hundreds of dollars each time. The math just works. We book direct with Eurail and suggest you do too. 

RVshare is like Airbnb for RVs. You can browse privately-owned RVs all around the country, find one that suits your needs and budget, and then rent it directly from the owner. It’s super affordable and makes RVing easy and accessible.
