3. 10 Most Affordable Cities in Asia for Traveling, including Taipei and Jakarta
TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - For traveling, compared to Europe, travel destinations in Asia are considered much cheaper. Only a select few cities—like Singapore—are regarded as pricey. The airfare is the only additional cost associated with a trip to Asia. But like any other travel destination, travelers can find good deals if they know the tricks.
If you want to save even more, Kayla Inserra DeLoache, Kayak's consumer travel trends expert, recommends travelers to plan their trips during the off-season of fall (October-November). Airfare savings can be up to 12 percent compared to summer (May-July).
