Trip.com Announces '9 Summer Travel Savings Tips' to Help Travelers Enjoy Affordable Trips – Featuring Up to 25% Off Hotels and VIP Lounge Perks

Global online travel service provider Trip.com has announced nine cost-saving and smart usage tips to help travelers enjoy more comfortable trips while keeping expenses under control this summer.

Amid ongoing yen depreciation and rising fuel surcharges, Trip.com offers a range of features to support budget-friendly travel, including flight and hotel search and booking tools, loyalty programs, and price alert functions.

According to Trip.com's flight booking data for this summer, the '2026 Summer Popular Overseas Destinations Ranking' shows that all top five destinations are in Asia, indicating continued strong demand for easily accessible nearby cities. This year, Bali, Indonesia, has joined the list alongside established Asian destinations. While demand remains high for short-haul, convenient getaways, there is also growing interest in resort stays and unique, out-of-the-ordinary experiences.

■ Flight Tips

1. Find Better Flight Deals with Flexible Search Tools

Travelers with flexible destinations or itineraries can use features like the 'Popular Destinations' or 'Great Value Destinations' pages within the app to discover lower fares.

These tools help users identify destinations offering the best value for their preferred travel period and season.

2. Take Advantage of Affordable Business Class Fares

By comparing different combinations of dates, routes, and airlines, travelers may find business class fares with only a small price difference compared to economy class.

On Trip.com, users can explore discounted business class options through the 'Premium Business Class' page and enjoy benefits such as priority check-in and boarding. This is especially valuable on long-haul flights, significantly enhancing the overall travel experience.

3. Never Miss the Best Booking Time with Price Alerts

Timing is one of the most critical factors in securing affordable flights. The Price Alert feature allows users to track specific routes and receive notifications when fares drop to a pre-set target price. This eliminates the need for constant manual price checks and enables quick action when the ideal price is reached.

■ Hotel Tips

4. Use Hotel Discounts After Booking a Flight

Users who book a flight on Trip.com can enjoy up to 25% off hotel bookings made within 90 days.

This 'flight purchaser exclusive benefit' not only promotes a seamless booking experience but also allows users to earn more 'Trip Coins'—loyalty points redeemable on future bookings.

5. Save More by Bundling Flights and Hotels

Booking flights and hotels together is one of the simplest ways to reduce overall travel costs. By using Trip.com's bundled packages, travelers can enjoy even lower prices, with an average discount of 9% on combined flight and hotel bookings—offering both convenience and cost efficiency.

■ Membership Benefits

6. Make the Most of Trip Coins

Trip Coins is one of Trip.com's loyalty programs.

Travelers earn Trip Coins through bookings for flights, hotels, and other services, which can then be used like cash on future travel reservations. Depending on membership tier, users can earn up to 200% more Trip Coins on every booking.

7. Access Airport VIP Lounges

Platinum members and above can enjoy complimentary access to VIP lounges at over 700 airports worldwide, transforming stressful and crowded airport experiences into calm and comfortable moments.

To activate this VIP lounge benefit, users must be Platinum members or higher and have completed at least one hotel stay within the past year.
