Almost all of us are looking to cut the cost of our annual holiday, according to a survey by American Express, but one of the easiest ways to save cash is to buy cheaper travel insurance.
More drastic penny-pinching measures being considered by some include buying cheap seats on flights departing late at night or at the crack of dawn sharing bathrooms, going somewhere they have never heard of or even not knowing where on earth they are staying until they arrive.
