Option 2:
If you want to leave on a Friday instead of a Thursday
March 8th Fri -March 15th Sat
Let’s look at the most important part of your trip… the flight down to Miami City. Check out these top places to get the cheapest flight. Student universe (if you are a student) or google flights. After you do pick your ideal date you want to go and leave and then begin changing the dates to see if you can get the cost lower. For example, if you leave on March 31st ( Saturday) and go until April 4th (Wednesday) that’s $340, but if you leave on a Monday and stay until Thursday you could cut your price down as much as $200.
Cheapest option: Philly to Miami March 7th-March 16th $93 Arrive before 9am!
Link to google flights Philly to Miami
Google flights scan all the other sites in a nice and easy way. It even enables you to see the prices of the different dates. The secret of the day is to use google flights to find the cheapest days to fly in and out and then use those same dates in Student universe (if you are a student.)
step 5: If you are on spring break and the break officially begins on Friday, it’s okay to leave 2 days earlier, so you can save money. Your professors will understand if you do the work ahead of time. The flights on Thursday are usually the cheapest. The price of your Miami flight should be around $232 with around $30 in taxes. Bonus… if you plan way ahead you can get a trip for $139 round trip. (actually $119 with my coupon right here and mentioned below!!!!) Also, check farmers almanac to see what the weather predictions will be like the week you are in Miami.
what to bring: It’s Miami City so bring 2 pairs of shorts, and a shirt for every day you are there. Be sure to bring something stylish and you’ll easily stand out from everyone else in their tank tops and bathing suits. Bring 2 bathing suits! You should be able to fit everything in a backpack, and a small duffle bag. Bring a lock for the locker, band-aids, and Advil for others. You’ll also save money not bringing a real suitcase. Important note: if you have a friend that’s a student that has flown before use their code on student universe or use this code I provide to get you more of a discount and hey it helps me out too.

step 6: Congrats you’ve booked the most expensive part of your entire trip!
Step 7: Alright so now your trip to and from Miami is taken care of. Next, you will need to start planning how you will get there with a car, and where you will park your awesome car. (p.s) if you own any car at all, it’s an awesome car because it enables you to get to Miami! I will also be getting into taking the bus which can also cut down costs significantly as well. If you have an awesome car that uses premium gas try to trade it with one of your friends or family members to get a car that gets better gas mileage and uses regular gas.
Step 8: Okay time to start taking action. To figure out the cost of your trip by car use gas buddy to find the cheapest places to get gas and figure out the exact cost. Search online for your car, make, model, and year and find out its mpg on the highway and city. Enter these numbers into a gas buddy. Also, open google maps and type the destination you are leaving from and where the airport is to see how many miles it is.
Example: Let’s say you have the most common car in America a Toyota Camry 2011. mpg 22/33
If the miles traveled is around 400 miles for the price there and back it should be around $30. Once you get there you’ll need to find a place to park your car for the amount of time you are there.
Step 9:
So if you add up how much has been spent so far that’s a total of
The hostel I chose had breakfast and dinner. Here’s the link Hostel room, share bedroom (Breakfast/Dinner Free).
So
So mission accomplished and of course, it is Miami city, so you can’t just go to the beach every day you’ll want to do other things as well because you will meet awesome people. It takes some discipline when you tag along with friends and don’t eat with them until you get back to the hostel for dinner.
Step 16: Extra expenses: Drink at the hostel are $20 and include a bar tour, a Pool party at a hostel cost $20.
