And how VD Travels helps you avoid every single one
Planning your own trip may feel empowering — until your dream holiday starts to unravel mid-journey. Trust us, we’ve seen it happen more times than we can count. From missed flights to awkward hotel check-ins, small mistakes can snowball into big regrets.
Here are some common mistakes people make while planning their own trips — and how a travel agency like VD Travels makes sure your experience stays smooth from start to end.
1. Booking Flights Without Researching Timing
That 6 AM flight looked like a good deal… until you realise you’re reaching the airport at 3 AM.
-
People often book odd-time flights just because they’re cheap
-
They forget to check layovers, check-in times, or airport transfers
-
We help you book flights that actually make sense — not just save ₹500
2. Overpacking the Itinerary
Three cities in four days? Sounds exciting. Feels exhausting.
-
Most DIY travellers plan overly tight schedules
-
They don’t factor in travel fatigue, delays, or local experiences
-
At VD Travels, we help you breathe during your vacation, not just tick boxes
3. Missing Out on Visa Rules or Travel Requirements
This one’s a deal-breaker. Literally.
-
Many people forget to check visa processing time, entry rules, or documents
-
Travel insurance, currency exchange, even vaccinations — all skipped
-
We ensure every form and paper is done right, on time
4. Trusting the Internet Too Much
That cute boutique hotel online? Turns out it’s next to a construction site.
-
Online reviews are often outdated or misleading
-
At VD Travels, we work with trusted partners and verified stays
-
What you see is what you actually get
5. Thinking It’s Always Cheaper to DIY
Spoiler alert: It isn’t.
-
People think skipping a travel agent saves money — but they end up overpaying for hotels, transfers, and last-minute bookings
-
We offer bundled deals, seasonal offers, and local connections that give you real value
