　　(2018·四川省绵阳市高三第二次诊断性考试)While money can't technically buy happiness, it can buy you a mood­lifting, outlook­improving vacation. Haven't made plans yet to skip town this winter? These money­saving travel tips can help you book the destination of your choice and enjoy your time there - without breaking the bank.

　　1．FLY THE COOP FAST

　　If you're planning to set off for an adventure right away, try the GTFO (Get The Flight Out) app. It lists the cheapest round­trip flights departing from your local airport that day or by the next morning. At press time, airfare was down 12 percent from last August and round­trip tickets for domestic flights averaged $218.

　　2．SNAG A DISCOUNTED HOTEL ROOM

　　If Airbnb isn't your style, reserve marked­down accommodations on Tingo, which lists almost all the rooms in more than 155,000 locations worldwide. After you book a price drop room, the site monitors rates until, typically, 24 to 48 hours before check­in. If the price drops, Tingo refunds you the difference.

　　3．LIVE IT UP LOCALLY

　　If you're planning a staycation (不出城度假) this winter, try an affordable escape close to home. The free app HotelTonight offers lodging (租住) deals in more than 100 U．S. and Canadian cities and regions, and has a location­based feature that gives extra savings on already discounted prices on spots closest to you. Same­day prices fall even lower after 6 P．M.

　　A．take a regular business trip
