With cryptocurrency soaring to new heights in recent years, it is no secret that many traders have done quite well for themselves in the market. You might find yourself sitting on quite the portfolio of Bitcoin at the moment, wondering what to do with it. In fact, you might not have much cash in the bank, but you desire to take a nice trip somewhere. Could it be possible to use your Bitcoin to engage in a bit of luxury? You bet it could. There are ways to travel in luxury using cryptocurrency as your primary source of funds.
If you are looking to travel using your Bitcoin, here are some companies that will help you realize your dream of a luxurious vacation.
Buy Your Plane Ticket at CheapAir
Assuming you will be leaving your home region, you will need a plane ticket. For that, you will want to consider CheapAir. This is a 100 percent online travel agency that has begun accepting Bitcoin as payment. Since you can book almost any major airline globally on this one site, the chances are good that you will find what you need there.
If you find that you recently transferred some of your BTC to INR (fiat) then you can pay using that currency as well. It’s a good idea to keep as much Bitcoin invested as possible and just convert it to fiat when you’ve made a profit. This way you are paying for your trip without ever touching your principal.
BTCTrip Is Another Alternative
Here is another travel agency created almost exclusively for individuals who like to pay for trips using their cryptocurrency account. You will find that you can use this site to book flights and hotels. Keep in mind that the price you will be shown is in Bitcoin. You will need to convert that to dollars in order to determine how much you may be paying. Then, you would need to pay quickly given the volatility of the cryptocurrency market these days.
Get to Space With Virgin Galactic
If you want to take the ultimate trip, then you might as well go to space. You can do that with Virgin Galactic, but it will cost you. Thankfully, they have expressed a willingness to accept Bitcoin as payment. This means that you are in luck if you have roughly $250,000 sitting in your account.
Use eGifter and Gyft
Both of these sites allow you to purchase gift cards using your cryptocurrency account as payment. You can then turn around and use those same gift cards to pay for travel items such as airlines and hotels. Keep in mind that not every airline or hotel participates in the program, so you will want to do your homework first if this is the route that you want to take. However, you can get some outstanding deals if you search hard enough.
CoinFuel is Another Option
This is another site that sells gift cards. You will want to use this one if you decide to go on a road trip, as they have a slightly different focus than eGifter and Gyft. With CoinFuel, you will be able to use your card at various gas stations along the way. You will also be able to purchase credits on Uber. That could come in quite handy.
So, by following these sites, you can end up paying for the majority of your luxury vacation using Bitcoin. Remember that the key is to plan and do your research. Decide where you want to go and then buy as much as you can ahead of time, taking advantage of your cryptocurrency account’s high value at the time.
