21 Travel Hacks Only Frequent Flyers Know (and You Should Too)

17. Use “Partial City Packages” for Extra Perks

Beyond typical holiday bundles, some providers now offer “partial city packages,” pairing discounted flights with add-ons like transit passes, sightseeing vouchers, or free museum entries—without necessarily locking you into a full-blown all-inclusive plan. These curated add-ons, often overlooked by mainstream travelers, can slash sightseeing costs while letting you stay flexible with lodging options. A single booking might yield a round-trip ticket plus unlimited subway rides or a multi-day city pass that covers top attractions. Because you’re combining airfare with these local perks, suppliers frequently push out lower bundled rates, hoping you’ll spend more in the destination. Frequent flyers enjoy these combos for short city breaks: you’ve got your flight plus curated local experiences already in place, saving hours of research and, of course, money. The best part? You remain free to pick an Airbnb, hostel, or any hotel you fancy, reaping package benefits without feeling locked into a cookie-cutter itinerary.
