So if you’ve already been to New Orleans for Mardi Gras or you’re in the mood for something a little further from home, then we’re here to help you experience Carnival in Brazil - and without breaking the bank.

Carnival is celebrated differently in different parts of Brazil, so you’ll need to decide first which festivities you want to see.

New Orleans Mardi Gras Travel Deals

by Jessica | November 18th, 2009

You don’t have to be Catholic or even really understand the religious background of Mardi Gras to enjoy the party. In fact, it may help if you don’t know about the religious background. But either way, there is plenty to love about the famous Mardi Gras celebrations that take place in New Orleans every year - and plenty of people flock to the city to see the festivities first hand.

Because the crowds are so substantial for Mardi Gras in New Orleans, it definitely pays to do your homework when it comes to finding cheap airfare and saving money on your accommodation. The holiday itself is something of a moveable feast, since it relates to a religious holiday that isn’t always on the same day, but it’s always around the same time of year (and, if you’re in a counting mood, it’s always 47 days before Easter). This does make it a bit easier to plan your trip.

In this article, we’re going to give you some tips to finding travel deals for Mardi Gras in New Orleans, including how to find cheap airfare to New Orleans for the Mardi Gras party and some general tips about celebrating Mardi Gras in New Orleans.

by cristina | November 18th, 2009

Planning to travel somewhere but you are afraid the hotel rates will burn a hole in your pocket? That’s not the case if you are checking out the latest deals. And best of all: you can travel all over the world. Choice Hotels® can be found at over 5,000 locations open and under development around the world.

Hotel deals in the US

How about heading to New York to do the Christmas Shopping? Rates at this hotel located in Manhattan start at $139 per night. It is a boutique hotel offering excellent facilities, including free wi-fi. Each room features a workspace, TV and phone.

If you prefer a warmer destination, why not plan a vacation in San Francisco? Room rates start at $69 per night. There’s complimentary wi-fi in the rooms. The rooms also feature fridge, AC, TV and iron board. The hotel also offers fitness center, restaurant and bar.

Hotel deals in Europe

Over the Big Pond, winter is knocking on the door and with it the prices in many cities are at their lowest, unless you head to a mountain resort. In Paris hotel rates are as low as €47 per night. Of course, you need to get to Paris first. So, look for a cheap flight to Paris while you are browsing the hotels.

The hotels in the ski regions are not yet very expensive but the reason is quite simple: there isn’t enough snow yet. With some luck from Mother Nature, by Christmas it’s probably possible to ski in the majority of European ski regions. So, if your plans include having fun on the slopes, look for hotels in the ski regions ahead of time. You can stay in Innsbruck for prices starting at €39 per person, per night.

Hotel deals in Asia

Asia is the exotic destination where many of us go to escape the oh-so-familiar mother land and to gain new experiences. In Thailand, for example, room rates start at $32 per night per person. And if you happen to not like cold weather, Thailand is the best place to visit.

by Jessica | November 16th, 2009

I don’t know about you, but a trip to Miami at the beginning of February sounds like the perfect antidote to the winter doldrums. Just about any excuse for such a sunny escape would work, but it just so happens that in 2010 there’s a pretty good one - the Super Bowl is coming to town.

You don’t have to be a hard-core budget travel guru to know that this is one vacation where you’ll want to be extra-diligent when hunting for deals. Why?

And that’s where we come in.

We’ve written a series of articles designed to help you save money on a trip to Miami for the Super Bowl, and rather than risk you missing out on all the helpful information we’ve compiled we thought we’d put together a list of all the articles in one place. Which is right here. Well, by “here” I mean below. Oh, you know what I mean.

Here are all the tips we dispensed about finding Super Bowl travel deals.

Are Super Bowl vacation packages travel deals or not?

by Jessica | November 13th, 2009

One of the things you learn when you start researching the subject is that as maligned as the “vacation package” can be among people who consider themselves hard-core budget travelers, a package deal can often mean huge savings over booking each element separately. Of course, this isn’t always true, but it’s true often enough that it’s always worth looking for vacation package deals to the places you’re planning to visit as you’re looking up airfare and hotel prices.

But let’s take the Super Bowl as an example of a big event for which there are plenty of vacation packages being offered. Are they a better deal than booking a la carte? Will you save money with Super Bowl vacation packages?

The short answer is - sometimes. But there are enough cases where a vacation package is so much more costly than booking your flight, hotel, and car rental separately that it’s critical you do your homework in this case instead of just assuming the package “deal” is really a deal. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when you’re looking at Super Bowl vacation packages vs. booking your Super Bowl trip piece by piece.
