Salut,
Lundi 15 /02 je me lance à la recherche de billets d'avion pour le senegal pour fin avril.
Montpellier /Dakar : 483 euros , c'est super c'est dans mes prix !
le temps de s'organiser jeudi je vais pour prendre les billets, surprise 650 euros !
je ne sais que faire je prends les billets ou j'attends ?
qui sait en fonction de quoi les prix varient autant et quand il faut acheter un billet pour l'avoir le moins cher possible?
bien sûr que j'aurais dû acheter le billet lundi quand je l'ai vu à 483 euros; mais deux mois avant le depart je ne m'attendais pas à une telle augmentation de prix, maintenant j'ai la trouille de le prendre à 650 euros si dans trois jours il fait 100 euros de moins.
autre chose : j'ai souvent pris les billets sur expedia car les prix sont interressants et cette année expedia propose des billets montpellier dakar à plus de 2000 euros ! j'y comprends rien, je ne sais plus sur quel site aller , car à force de vouloir tout comparer on ne compare plus rien du tout !
si vous avez une methode efficace pour trouver des billets pas chers, merci de me la communiquer .
je vous souhaite à tous une bonne journée

C'est vrai que c'est un peu galère... mais pas tellement de solution ! En fait il faut toujours "sauter" sur l'occasion le jour même !
Si ça peut t'aider, en ce moment sur Go Voyages (je passe par eux pour mes voyages au Sénégal) il y a des départs de Marseille pour fin avril à moins de 500 € par Ibéria...
Bonne chance et bon voyage
J' espère que les choses ont changé depuis , mais j' ai eu fin 2007 une expérience très mitigée avec l' assurance annulation maison de BDV - Go Voyages . En résumé , montant de franchise conséquent ( + qu' ailleurs ) et solde remboursé en partie par des Bons d' achat Go Voyages , dont certains étaient périmés 1 ou 2 mois + tard !
A vérifier , si vous n' êtes pas assurés par une CB Visa Premier . Même s' il est vrai que tout est parfait tant qu' on ne se retrouve pas dans ces situations ... 😕
Généralement, les prix des avions changent en fonction des saisons et de la durée du séjour de celui qui sollicite le billet.
Pour en avoir de plus amples et adéquates informations, je vous conseille d'écrire à cet Ami Sénégalais qui vous aidera à coup sûre: yvesfaye@hotmail.com
* Il vous répondra!
Bonne journée !
David
merci à tous pour vos réponses, en faite ce que je me demande c'est : est ce que les variations de prix sont previsibles et si oui en fonction de quoi ?
De plus il ya augmentation des assurances "BECAUSE" Grippe H1N1 et maintenant 10 jours avant mon depart, UN RAPPEL DE 16€/px2=32€ car augmentation des carburants!!!😠
J'ai pris mes billets d'avion en NOVEMBRE 2009 pour le 5 mars 2010!!
Resultat: les prix varient meme si l'on vous annonce un prix fixe. C'est mon cas!!
Mais si miraculeusement le carburant baisse, va-t-on me faire une reduc???😉
Mais c'est de l'arnaque "legalisée" cette histoire. donc jusqu'à ce que tu partes le prix n'est pas definitif ! et si tu n'as plus un rond et que tu refuses de payer il se passe quoi ?
il va falloir ajouter une rubrique dans VF : conseil pour acheter un billet d'avion, parce qu'à mon avis dans ce domaine c'est la jungle !!!
tu as acheté ton billet sur quel site si c'est pas trop indiscret.
je te souhaite un bon dimanche
le site de VF est très bien fait et je le consulte depuis des années mais il ne nous garanti pas le meilleur tarif, comme d'ailleurs aucun comparatif de prix. mais peut être c'est moi qui ne sait pas bien l'utiliser ! je n'ai pas encore trouver de technique pour trouver les periodes promotions d'un trajet bien définis, donc je passe des heures devant mon ordi à eplucher un nombre infini de site.
et vous comment faites vous?
La garantie du meilleur tarif ne peut pas exister .
Les facteurs de variation des tarifs sont multiples , complexes et variables dans le temps . Les sites comparatifs les + sérieux ont des propositions comparables .
Il n' y a donc pas de recette miracle pour gagner à tout coup . Si on est intéressé par une destination et une période du calendrier , peut-être suivre empiriquement les tarifs proposés tout au long de l' année pour déterminer la meilleure période d' achat .
Ceci ne met pas à l' abri d' une variation imprévisible et brutale du taux de change ou du prix des carburants ...
En achetant mes billets d' avion par Internet , on ne m' a jamais pour le moment appliqué des hausses supplémentaires avant le départ ...
Bon dimanche
les prix varient en fonction des saisons touristiques, càd des saisons où les gens voyagent le plus qu'on appelle Haute saison, les prix augmentent; en basse saison, les prix diminuent. Les prix sont aussi fonction de la durée de votre voyage. Si votre voyage ne dure pas, vous payez moins. Et si votre voyage dure par exemple 6 mois avant le retour, naturellement, il est plus cher.
bonsoir,
En faite je n'arrive pas à formuler ma question, donc je vais partir du cas concret. quand j'ai lancé la discussion le billet d'avion qui m'interressait était passé de 483 à 650 euros. je demandais si je devais le prendre à 650 euros ou attendre encore pour voir si il y avait une baisse. j'ai attendu un peu et le billet est passé à 600 euros, donc je l'ai pris à ce prix là. cependant je continue à surveiller les changements de prix et aujourd'hui il est de nouveau à 483 euros!!!
donc je reviens à ma question: quels sont les raisons qui font changer le prix d'un billet , qu' est ce qu'on doit surveiller: le prix du GO ou bien la bourse , l'offre et la demande ou bien je ne sais quoi encore ?
j'ai bien compris que le billet d'avion pouvait changer de tarif à tout moment, mais comment savoir quel est le meilleur moment pour acheter ?
j'ai vraiment du mal à vous decrire mes attentes et je reconnais que je suis brouillon dans mes propos , veuillez m'en excusez.
d'une façon plus generale ce qui m'interresse de savoir c'est comment vous orientez vos recherches personnelles pour trouver un billet d'avion bon marché.
On pourrait peut être appelé cette discussion : trucs astuces et pieges à eviter pour l'achat d'un billet d'avion.
je vous remercie pour l'interêt que vous portez à cette discussion et vous souhaite une bonne soirée
vas voir sur dakar voyages, et look voyages, des tarifs promos frequemment, et tu peux prendre ton billet d avion à dakar voyage sans problème, je l ai payé bien moins cher,
bonne chance

bonjour,
La garantie du meilleur tarif peut ne pas exister mais n'empêche qu'il y a des erreurs à ne pas Faire.
je poursuis mes recherches en la matière etj'ai trouver un article sur le bog de opodo intitulé : vous saurez tout sur votre billet d'avion, http://blog.opodo.fr/2007/10/24/vous-saurez-tout--tout-sur-votre-billet-d-avion-aspx
cet article aide à comprendre comment est defini le tarif par la compagnie , et explique les differentes taxes,
ce que j'en conclu c'est que un des facteurs importants dans la variation du prix du billet c'est le cours du petrole lors de l'achat, donc le prix peut monter ou baisser en fonction du moment.
la variation va aussi intervenir en fonction du remplissage de l'avion, plus on achète le billet tôt ( mais en faisant gaffe au prix du baril) plus on a des chance d'être dans les meilleurs prix des passagers)
j'ai lu aussi que l'emplacement du siege donnait des prix differents suivant la lettre que vous occupez.
et enfin les frais de reservation (internet, telephone , agence)sont differents suivant le mode de reservation choisi.
j'en profite pour faire un appel à VF : ça serait bien si sur le forum à côté de billets d'avion on puisse voir un petit indice qui nous conseille sur le moment interressant ou non pour acheter un billet d'avion.
je vous souhaite une bonne journée à tous
Hello everyone,
This is my first time traveling to Italy
For a short cultural trip
From October 8th to 17th
Solo as a senior woman
I booked my one-way ticket with FlixBus
From Lille Europe
On October 8th at 11:55 PM
I arrive at Porte de Maillot (Paris Pershing)
At 3:05 AM
And I’d like to get to Palermo, Italy
Starting October 9th
I’ve checked tickets—prices are sky-high everywhere, and there are even scams
Can you advise me on how to get to this city
Affordably
By train, plane, or bus
I need to arrive by October 9th
For my hostel room
Which is located at

Hi,
My trip to the Algarve, which was postponed, is now taking shape.
On October 13th, I’m leaving for 2 weeks. When I arrive, I’ll be staying in Lisbon for 3 nights. So, I’d love to find somewhere affordable and well-located to stay—any suggestions would be great!
After that, I’ll head to Faro, where I plan to rent a car. Would it be best to rent directly from the airport? I can’t seem to find any agencies in Faro city where I could pick up the car and drop it off at the airport at the end of my stay. Is it possible to return a car at 6 AM at the airport?
Can I get the Portuguese motorway pass in France?
Thanks so much for your help!

Hello,
Does anyone know a good local French-speaking agency for a discovery/trekking trip in Maharashtra? For about 3 weeks, a custom trip, but not too expensive!
Thanks in advance,
Laura
Hello Voyage Forum members.
For my wife’s birthday and her 64th year, I’d love to plan a two-week road trip with her—using our own car—preferably avoiding overly touristy spots, so off the beaten path where possible. That said, we wouldn’t mind stopping at must-see places along the way. The trip would cover Emilia-Romagna and/or Tuscany if combining both regions is doable in that timeframe, with the option for some hikes during the period. We’re looking at late November 2026. I’d prioritize the most authentic accommodations, ideally with breakfast included, without exceeding 100 € per night if that’s possible. So, stays like private rooms in hostels or homestays would be perfect.
Based on these details, I’d really appreciate any recent tips or insights from Voyage Forum members to help me plan this surprise anniversary trip.
Hi,
I’m looking for recent opinions on where to stay: Ella or Haputale.
Doesn’t Haputale also have the added advantage of the train?
Thanks for your input!
Hi there, we’re planning a road trip in northern Algeria at the end of January – early February.
Anyone have any tips for a car rental agency that’s both reliable and not too expensive? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I’d like to travel from Lille in the North of France to Italy safely and on a budget.
Preferably by bus.
If you have other ideas, I’m all ears!
I’m interested in any suggestions.
How can I get to Italy?
Which city is the cheapest?
The most visited?
Is it safe, please?
Thanks for your replies.
Best regards,
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to spend 8 days or more in Georgia, and I love multi-day hikes at a moderate level.
Any tips?
Is it easy to exchange money in Tbilisi?
Is Kutaisi worth a visit?
I’ve heard the Black Sea is meh.
And apparently, the food and drink are amazing everywhere in Georgia.
So, is it worth checking out a wine region?
Thanks a lot!
Good evening,
As two senior French couples who are used to traveling independently all over the world, we’d like to visit Kenya next November.
Now, after seeing and reading a bit everywhere, and with the first quotes for a 6/7-day safari, I’m shocked by the prices (like $2,250) for places like Maasai Mara, where entry alone costs $200 per person per day, plus fees for the driver and vehicle.
So if you have any recent great tips or contacts to share to help me out, I’d really appreciate it—because despite the costs, we’d still love to go, while keeping things reasonable.
The most plausible solution is probably renting a vehicle with a driver-guide.
Thanks in advance for all your replies.

After more than ten solo trips to India, I’ve decided to explore a new country: South Korea.
In October, I’ll be flying Lyon-Delhi, then in November Delhi-Seoul. I’ll be staying in this new (for me) country for over a month.
My main motivation when traveling is discovering a country through the people (locals) I meet. In India, I made friends through Couchsurfing that way.
I’m currently getting in touch with host families (via Servas), but if you have any ideas for authentic and budget-friendly accommodations, I’d love to hear them.
I’ll plan my route based on my hosts, and I’m also thinking of spending a few days in Seoul and Jeju.
Hi there,
I’m heading to the Greek island of Ikaria for two months and I’m looking for any tips or advice—especially on budget-friendly accommodation options like a room to rent or staying with locals. Thanks!
Hi everyone, I'm traveling solo in Spain for 8 days without a car, on a tight budget. What train/bus route do you recommend between cities, and where can I find the best prices? Looking forward to your tips! Thanks
Hello! 👋
I’m new to this site and feeling a little desperate. 😢 My boyfriend’s birthday is in 4 days, and I wanted to surprise him with a New Year’s trip to London... except I just found out he’s already been there as a kid. Well, there goes my surprise! 😅
Since we both love Christmas and winter, I’m looking for a destination where we can really feel the holiday magic—with a budget of around 500 € for transport + accommodation for two (yes, I know, I might be asking for a Christmas miracle here 😇).
We’ve already been to Bucharest, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest, so I’d love to find something a little more offbeat, not too expensive, and with a beautiful Christmas atmosphere.
Please help me! 🙏 On social media, it’s always the same ultra-touristy cities... I’m sure there are hidden gems I haven’t discovered yet!
Three years after exploring northern Argentina and Chile, my two travel buddies and I want to discover the southern part of these two countries.
We’re traveling on a budget, backpacker-style, favoring public transport and modest accommodations, but we don’t hesitate to splurge a little when it’s worth it.
The classic spots that have been fueling our dreams: Bariloche, the lakes, Chiloé, El Chaltén, Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno, El Calafate, Fitz Roy, Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, and wrapping up in Valparaíso.
We’ll take a round-trip flight to Santiago, then I’m thinking of a one-way flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas. From there, we’ll explore and do several day hikes in the south, including Ushuaia and, if possible, Tierra del Fuego.
Then we’ll head back north by bus to Bariloche and the lakes, followed by Chiloé, then a bus to Santiago and Valparaíso.
Based on your experience, could you help me figure out the best way to structure this trip and maybe suggest some ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Didier
I’m heading to Quebec and New Brunswick this summer and got a Revolut Classic card for the trip. I’ve already exchanged some Canadian dollars in the app so I’ll have a reserve ready for my departure day. My question is whether I’ll incur any additional fees when using my Canadian dollar account. I think I’m limited to 200 € in ATM withdrawals for my part. Thanks!
Hi there,
I'm heading to Morocco for 10 days as a backpacker, with my car and a tent canvas if needed. Does anyone have great experiences in this country around the Tétouan and Tangier areas?
I'd love to spend time with locals, rent a small room, and take part in daily life.
If you've got any addresses to share, that'd be awesome!
Thanks a million for your replies!!!😉
Christine
My boyfriend and I are going there for just 9 days, including the two travel days… It’s not much, but oh well!
Looking at prices online, I get the impression everything’s more expensive than I thought 😅 So, I wanted to get your feedback on a few things:
* Is hitchhiking common, easy, and generally safe in Albania?
* Is it possible to find day-to-day accommodations without booking ahead? If so, are they usually cheaper than the ones you find online?
* Is wild camping allowed or at least tolerated?
If any of you have traveled there recently, I’d love all the tips and great deals you’ve got!
Hi,
We’re a young couple planning to travel to South Africa after spending about three weeks in Namibia. We’ll arrive in Cape Town around mid-December, with no fixed travel duration (though our budget will eventually set a limit).
After browsing through the forum, we’ve realized the country is packed with incredible spots, which makes choosing an itinerary tough. We’re looking for stunning landscapes, hikes, and so on. So, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
When we arrive in Cape Town, we’d like to settle in and take it easy until New Year’s, exploring at a relaxed pace. We know this period coincides with South African holidays—does that make finding accommodations (availability/prices) more difficult? Do you think it’s possible to stay in a nice place for about 15 days without aiming for the most upscale neighborhoods? Maybe somewhere a bit outside Cape Town, like Fish Hoek, and just visit the city occasionally.
After that, we’ll have plenty of time (about 2 to 2.5 months) to explore the country. We’d like to take our time. In your opinion, is it better to focus on the Cape Town region, or is it reasonable to consider more distant areas like the Drakensberg or Blyde River Canyon? Can everything be done by car if we take our time, or are domestic flights sometimes more practical?
Budget-wise, how much do car rentals cost? For accommodations, we usually look at Airbnb—are they affordable in South Africa? What’s the average nightly rate outside the biggest cities? Are there other platforms you’d recommend for saving on lodging?
Finally, regarding safety, are there any regions to avoid besides Johannesburg?
We know this is a lot of questions, but we’re still in the early planning stages!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Hi there,
After exploring southern Peru in 2024 with your help, we’d love to head north next. There’ll be 5 or 6 of us:
1. Arrive in Lima in the evening.
2. Visit Lima and take a flight at 6:35 PM to Tarapoto.
3, 4, 5. Spend a few days there to trek in a reserve (Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve) or somewhere else.
6. From Tarapoto to Chachapoyas—either by overnight bus, daytime bus, or private car.
7. In Chachapoyas: Gocta Waterfall, Sonche Canyon, and walk back to town.
8. Head to Kuelap citadel, Revash, and arrive in Leymebamba.
9. Leymebamba museum, then route to Cajamarca.
10. Cajamarca hot springs, overnight bus to Trujillo or Chiclayo—or do both.
11, 12, 13. Visit and explore the area.
14. Overnight bus back to Lima.
15. Lima.
16. Depart at 8 PM for France.
What do you think of this itinerary? Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks
I’m planning a 7-day trip to Marrakech for a sports camp, and I’ll be traveling with just a standard carry-on backpack.
I’d love to hear your best tips and tricks:
• What clothes are absolutely essential?
• Any advice for managing the heat while traveling light?
• Which accessories have been the most useful for you?
• Mistakes to avoid on a first trip to Marrakech?
I’m also open to your recommendations for neighborhoods, restaurants, or activities not to miss during my free time.
Thanks in advance for your advice and experience! !
Hi there, we’re heading to the Cyclades from June 23 to July 9. We’ll arrive in Santorini and leave from Mykonos. We’re thinking of visiting these islands: Folegandros, Milos, Sifnos, Tinos, and Mykonos. Do you think it’s better to book the ferries now (which site do you recommend for booking?) or can we buy the tickets on the spot? Also, do you have any suggestions for accommodation under 100 €/night on each of these islands? Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone!
I’m planning my dream trip for next September, lasting about a month. Here’s my itinerary:
Amsterdam: 3 days (departing from Montreal)
Tanzania: 3-day safari
Zanzibar: 6 days
Istanbul: 7 days
Return to Montreal.
Since my budget is pretty tight, I’m looking for tips and advice to cut costs without sacrificing the experience. Here are my questions:
Multi-destination flights: What’s the best way to book these connections? Is it better to buy a one-way ticket from Montreal to Amsterdam, then a separate internal flight, or use comparison tools for a multi-destination ticket?
Budget safari: Do you have recommendations for local agencies or tips to do a 3-day safari (Serengeti/Ngorongoro) at an affordable price (e.g., camping/glamping instead of luxury lodges)?
Accommodation in Zanzibar: Which villages or types of lodging are the most budget-friendly and accessible via local transport for these 6 days?
Istanbul: Any tips for well-located but cheap accommodation and great food deals?
Hi,
Are there still basic, traditional, and affordable authentic accommodations in Poland? I’ll be traveling in July with my husband and our 2 kids along the Warsaw-Łódź-Toruń-Gdańsk route, and all I can find online are standardized Ikea-style apartments in the cities. When I look for agrotourism, it’s all luxury farms.
Can you find farms in the countryside or city lodgings for under 60 euros per night? And if so, how?
Is it possible to find accommodations on the spot without internet—like from people who put up signs—even in July?
Hi,
I need to stay in Paris or Créteil for 2 nights a week for a month. I know some cheap backpacker options, but I’d like something even cheaper. Do you know of any rooms for rent from private individuals?
Thanks
We’re a young couple planning our first trip to Albania from June 23, 2026, to July 2, 2026. We have a pretty tight budget and want to make the most of this amazing country without breaking the bank.
We’re looking for all the advice you can give to help us plan our stay:
* What are the must-see places to visit?
* Which cities or villages are really worth the detour?
* What natural sites, hikes, canyons, springs, or viewpoints do you recommend?
* Do you know of any free, uncrowded, or particularly beautiful beaches?
* Where can we responsibly observe or swim with sea turtles?
* What are the most beautiful beaches on the Albanian Riviera that are accessible on a small budget?
* What budget-friendly accommodations (hotels, hostels, homestays, campgrounds) do you recommend?
* What are the best ways to get around between different regions at a low cost?
* Do you know of any reliable and affordable agencies for renting a vehicle (car, scooter, or motorcycle)? What are the average rates at the end of June, and which rental companies do you recommend or advise against?
* Is it better to rent a vehicle right when we arrive or stick to local buses and minibuses to keep costs down?
* Which restaurants or local specialties offer the best value for money?
* Are there any free or low-cost activities we shouldn’t miss?
* Which places do you think are overrated or can be skipped when you’re short on time and money?
* What practical tips would you have wished you knew before your first trip to Albania?
We’d also love any 10-day itineraries that you particularly enjoyed, along with your budget estimates for accommodation, meals, and transportation.
We’re open to off-the-beaten-path spots and local tips. If you have any secret addresses, hidden beaches, favorite accommodations, or mistakes to avoid, we’d love to hear about them! 😊
I traveled through southern Peru in November 2024 and now I’d like to explore the north.
We’re a group of 5 people for a 15-day trip.
Iquitos or Nauta for the Amazon rainforest—I saw that you have to fly there.
Chiclayo
Chachapoyas
Kuelap
Leimebamba
Cajamarca
Trujillo
And if we have time, Huaraz for the Andes cordillera.
No problem taking overnight buses—they save a lot of time.
Or renting a car and figuring it out as we go.
We’d also love to take the train from Lima to Huancayo, but it seems complicated—I don’t understand when it runs.
I’d like to drive to Morocco from Paris via Spain. I was really surprised to see the ferry crossing prices—around 500 €—but especially the crossing time (about 1 hour). Normally, I pay 3000 € to go to Tunisia from Genoa, but that’s for a 24-hour crossing.
My question: is it cheaper to buy the ticket on the spot, as some Moroccans have advised me? Though I’ve also heard the opposite.
What do you think, considering I need to get to Tétouan around July 17th and return from Tangier around August 4th?
Thanks in advance
