​Hi there 👋

I've been coming across quite a few travel tools, new features, and seasonal offers lately, so I thought I'd put the useful ones together in one place.

Some are useful if you're planning a trip, while a couple may be especially interesting if you're a travel creator or blogger.

Here are the ones that caught my attention:

✈️ 1. 11% off AirHelp+ for summer travel

Flight delays, cancellations, missed connections, and lost luggage are never fun—especially when you're traveling alone.

AirHelp is currently offering 11% off AirHelp+ with the code:

AHTPO11

📅 Valid until August 31, 2026
💰 11% off AirHelp+ Smart & Pro
🌍 Available in all markets except the US

AirHelp+ includes support with flight compensation claims, travel disruption protection, and other travel benefits.

Hopefully you never need it—but it's worth knowing your options before a long or complicated trip.

🌏 2. Planning a Southeast Asia trip? Check 12Go

When traveling around Southeast Asia, sometimes the biggest question isn't where to go — it's how to get there.

Train, bus, ferry, flight... there can be several options between two destinations.

​12Go lets you compare and book different types of transportation across many routes.

There's currently a 10% discount for new users:

Code: TP10​
📅 Valid until August 31
💰 Maximum discount: USD 6.75

If you're already planning a trip, it might be worth comparing your transportation options before booking.

🎟️ 3. Don't forget the experiences

Flights and hotels are usually the first things we book.

But sometimes the experiences are what we remember most.

​Viator is one platform where you can browse tours, day trips, food experiences, walking tours, activities, and other things to do in destinations around the world.

I like the idea of saving a few experiences before a trip without necessarily planning every hour of the itinerary.

You can browse what's available for your destination here:

🧳 4. A new way for solo travelers to connect

​Hostelworld recently launched Social Pass, which I found particularly interesting for solo travelers.

The pass gives travelers access to features such as:

• City Chats with people nearby
• Local events and activities
• Shared travel plans
• Traveller profiles

And the interesting part?

You don't need to book a hostel to use Social Pass.

If you enjoy solo travel but occasionally want someone to explore with, this could be another way to connect with people along the way.

🏨 5. A simple hotel-booking reminder

One thing I've learned from traveling is that the cheapest hotel isn't necessarily the best value.

Before booking, I usually look at:

📍 Location
⭐ Guest reviews
🚇 Distance from public transportation
💰 Total price
🔄 Cancellation conditions

Sometimes paying a little more for a convenient location can save money and a lot of time during the trip.

If you're planning an autumn trip, this is also a good time to start comparing accommodation options.

💻 6. For travel creators: a way to monetize existing content

If you're a travel blogger, YouTuber, or content creator, this last one is for you.

​Viator is promoting its Drive feature, which is designed to add relevant booking opportunities to existing travel content.

So instead of filling a blog with random banners, relevant booking options can appear alongside content for example, activities in Bali when you're writing about Bali.

​Viator is also offering increased rewards through August 31, with rates increasing from 8% to 10% for eligible bookings.

If you already have travel content receiving traffic, this is something worth exploring.

💡 One more thing if you're a travel creator

Most of the programs I've mentioned above are available through Travelpayouts, which is the affiliate platform I use to access travel brands and monetize my travel content.

If you have a travel blog, YouTube channel, social media audience, or other travel-related content, you can explore the available programs and see which ones fit your audience.

You don't need to promote everything.

The idea is simply to find the travel products you genuinely think are useful and recommend them naturally through the content you're already creating.

And if you use my affiliate links to book something, I may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. It's one of the ways you can support Neji's VLog while still getting something useful for your own travels.

Happy travels 🌿
