Have you ever heard about blind booking? Let’s say, for example, that you and two more friends of yours want to take a trip somewhere for about…3 days. You don’t know exactly where to go and definitely you are not in the mood of spending too much. You want a cheap trip and lots of fun.

One thing you could try is to blind book your trip. What does it mean? Go the webpage of a flight company that offers this kind of service (I know German Wings does) and see what destinations you could reach from your departure city. For example now, from Berlin, you can blind book a flight to Bucharest, Stuttgart, Munich, Cologne, Stockholm or Zagreb. Then choose the flight dates and the number of persons and turn your destination into a lottery, letting the system decide where to go.

If you really don’t want to get Cologne, for example, then you can exclude it from the list, but that would cost you a small extra-fee. You can exclude up to three destinations from the list and so the chances to get to one of your favorite cities are higher.

This kind of booking can be great if you’re looking for something different, no matter what. It’s a bit of fun and a bit of adventure at really affordable prices. If you’re lucky you can get a 25-30 euro round ticket to destinations like London, Barcelona, Roma or Lisbon, all taxes and fees included.

I didn’t blind book a trip until now, because Romanian companies don’t have this option, but now, that I’m in Berlin, I think I would give it a try to see what happens. Anyone else interested?
